Holy Family sure looks good. I don't really get the positioning by some of the goaltenders. A basic shot that goes through the five hole. Anyway perplexing to me

I left after the 2nd period but was much happier with the goaltending in the final game.

My squad looking good, ye1t tied after 1. As much as I want my team to win, I want Edina to lose. Just saying.

Looks like Hill is way more talented.

I've been watching state tournaments since 1980. That doesn't always matter. And Edina's first line is enough to keep them in it. Hill all year, outshoot everyone 2-1. But doesn't score enough. So what I'm looking for is rock solid defense. Give Edina nothing. Then you win easy.

Well somehow Edina tired it. Shouldn't really even be in the game. Hopefully they don't give up another down low score haha.

43-27 shots were for HM over HF. Also best Cent 4-3.

HF head coach is Randy Koeppl who was the Jefferson goalie from the 1992-93 championship teams.

Didn't take long 1-0 Cent.

Yep, the Co-op is destroying this HF team through 2.

Going in, I thought HF would win the whole thing. Kimbrel is the best player. But not going to happen. Centennial playing great tonight. Tomorrow will be a good one. Yes, HM beat them. But Centennial was up 2-0 and 3-1 in the third. HM came back to win 4-3. Should be a good game.

To be honest, this is the best possible result for HM. Centennial winning a close game is one thing. Putting HF on running time, something else entirely. I think this hurts Centennial going into tomorrow.

I don’t think I had “running time” on my bingo card for this game. Wow HF was awful tonight. If I was HM, I’m not probably sleeping too well tonight after seeing the a$$ whoop the Co-op put down on HF.

I see it different. Co-op got all the breaks tonight. Tough to get that two nights in a row. I think HM wins by a couple tomorrow. They had their overly tough game tonight and made it through.

Be interesting if they try to pair #26 and #27 from HM on that #9 from Cent.

Breck really made Warroad pay for whiffing on that pass for a breakaway snipe. 2-0

Warroad can't generate enough offense against this Breck team. No way they can come back from two down.

Player of the game has to be the goalie.
