The difference of 3 and 4 is huge.

Having the last change in playoffs is huge. It's all about line match ups in the playoffs and thats how you can take advantage this time of year when teams are so close (like the 2 and 3 seeds will be in 6AA).Roseauverrated wrote:I agree with this. There really isn't much difference between the 2 and 3 seed in this section though; both teams should have an easy first round game. The only advantage to getting the 2 seed is getting 2nd line change in the semifinal matchup.Slap Shot wrote:Disagree. EP doesn't fall past 2.
4 seed plays 1st seed (Tonka)?hshockeyfan8 wrote:The difference of 3 and 4 is huge.

Records within the section:gray5 wrote:so does anybody think that wayzata will now be a 2nd or 3rd seed after they split with edina and split with EP.

They are usually in the afternoon. Either 12, 3, and 5 are common times for Section 6.gray5 wrote:Semi final times.
so assuming its
Wayzata vs tonka
and
EP vs BSM
what are the times.
On the hub it says Wayzata vs Tonka should be at 12, and EP vs BSM is at 7. Is that correct. A 12 game just seems odd.
Section 2 and Section 6 switch off between the 6pm and 8pm game every year. This year, Section 6 is at 6pm and Section 2 is at 8pm. Next year it will be the opposite. I don't believe there is any set pattern for the semifinal games. It all depends on what teams make it and what teams don't.hshockeyfan8 wrote:I believe that section 6 is always before section 2 for the semi-finals at either BIG or Braemar and then vice-versa for Mariucci.
Bergh is out for the year, but I'd think the other two should be back as their injuries weren't as serious. Another question mark for Eden Prairie is their goaltending, which seems to be struggling as of late.Roseauverrated wrote:What's the word on Eden Prairie's top line that was completely out against Minnetonka? Without them, they were thoroughly dominated the whole game. I think for them to have a chance at winning the section they will need all 3 of them back.
LaCombe is the best thing EP has going for it; he has taken all the difficult games and played out of his head for some huge wins. I dont believe he posts on this board about himself or his team mates either, which is refreshing.hshockeyfan8 wrote: Another question mark for Eden Prairie is their goaltending, which seems to be struggling as of late.
I agree, I watched the Eagan game where he played fantastic and was for sure the reason EP won. I was just basing that off the last two games where they allowed 6 GA each, although I didn't see the Tonka game so that could have been just bad team defense. Either way, Lacombe will have to stand on his head again if Eden Prairie wants to make it out of 6AA.newtendy29fan wrote:LaCombe is the best thing EP has going for it; he has taken all the difficult games and played out of his head for some huge wins.hshockeyfan8 wrote: Another question mark for Eden Prairie is their goaltending, which seems to be struggling as of late.

How can you say he sucks? Both shots he really had no chance on, the best thing armstrong has going for it was it's tendy tonight. You can only outplay a team by so much until time runs out.newtendy29fan wrote:EP Upset by Armstrong in first round!!newtendy29fan wrote:LaCombe is the best thing EP has going for it; he has taken all the difficult games and played out of his head for some huge wins.

hshockeyfan8: I guess you were correct; goaltending is not only struggling but EPs back up goalie stinks. I guess this makes room on V for the superstar EP bantam A goalie that is coming up next year.
Should be a great game between BSM and Tonka on Tues.! Location?Slap Shot wrote:BSM was basically spoon-fed a ride to the section final while Tonka will have to try and beat Wayzata a 3rd time.
According to the Hub's 6AA bracket, this game is scheduled on Wednesday the 29th at 6 PM at Mariucci.hockey relic wrote:Should be a great game between BSM and Tonka on Tues.! Location?
