Keys for Stillwater:
-Weather the first few minutes. That's been the toughest part for many first-time entrants, especially against a team like Edina that isn't going to look back if it grabs the early edge.
-Bring the same energy they had against WBL and Hill
-Do not allow odd-man rushes--Edina is so lethal in transition

Keys for Edina:
-Play like you've been there before--no panic or penalties that might let the Ponies think they have a chance.
-Forecheck aggresively...Hill didn't do that, and it cost them. Wear down those good Stillwater defensemen.
-Basically, just be themselves, and pound Stillwater into submission.

Coach Doman and ponies seen on ice with tape measure late last night. They supposedly measured net, crease, length and width of sheet.

Prediction: PONIES by 1 late in 3rd off the old "picket fence" play

let the Ponies run and they'll run over Edina 4 to 2

No running right now...2-0 Hornets, Nanne with both Ginos...

3-0 now, Malmquist with the Shorty....

Need a Centennial like comeback.

When does the next game start?

Edina can trot out the JV team now...This one is ugly.

Don't recall seeing such a lopsided game at state. Bizarre to think Hill couldn't score on this team. Consisering both upsets, there must've really been ghosts in the Coliseum that night.

When you reference letting the ponies run are you talking about running time? Can't happen until the 3rd period.

Stillwater has to go out and execute some kind of a game plan because all they are doing is reacting to whatever Edina is doing.

They are in a tough conference and section so I expected more than this. I think they were just wound too tight about this trip to the Tourney.

These kids have been playing against Edina since they were in youth hockey, this game should be much closer.

looks like there might be a mercy rule. how can that be disallowed?

See BSM V Lakeville South 10-1.

Edina is hotdogging now, everyone is trying to score themselves, not passing much. Too bad SW gave up that last goal because if they could have gotten within 2 going into the 3rd period this could be a different game.

Welcome to the Lake Conference, Ponies.

Welcome and good bye. It was nice seeing you.

Well Ponies a better effort would have been nice but you could sense the nerves were on full tilt. 3 bad bounces that lead to goals and a very good Edina team were just too much to ask for in the first trip to State. Congrats on getting there and remember you can still make this a trip to remember.

This game was a joke!!!!!
