centennial

[IMHO]

This was already posted elsewhere, but since Lee is rightly trying to lock up duplicate threads I thought I'd move it over here to focus any discussion.

In Centennial's quarter final game, I gotta go with the Grove for three reasons.

1) MG defense is very solid allowing very few shots per game all year. In the last game WITH Pitlick, Centennial was kept to under 30 shots in their own house.

2) MG forwards have the Centennial goalie's number. MG almost had him in the first game and they lit him up in the second. Since that game he really hasn't been the same. Yesterday against NM really wasn't a confidence booster as he only saw 10 shots. Don't get me wrong. He's going to be a great goalie and he had some great games this year, but as a sophomore he's not quite there.

3) Not much help to their goalie, Centennial's defense isn't the strongest. With MG's speed and offensive depth from seniors to sophomore, it will be a lot for Centennial to handle.

IMHO, predicting a close and at times ugly game on the soft ice at the Fairgrounds, it will be MG by 2 goals.
