Living up to the billing. I guess there was a reason I couldn't get tix.

Is it just me or does anybody else cringe when they watch a kid TRY and shoot the puck back behind thir own net?

Anyone else wanna see 4-5 OT's??

I bet Urick wishes he could get their game back.

I happened to watching the ref when he made the call and it appeared he wanted to see if he stayed down or not before he made the call.

Shouldn't matter. Reason he didn't signal right away, he was thinking about it. He knew that was boarding, but didn't want to call it.

Absolutely, I thought boarding here would have been the right call. This is one of the very few charging calls I've ever seen. When they instituted the change of how calls were made someone remarked that not much will change except that we will see refs make more elbowing, roughing, and charging calls so they don't have to award the 5 minute major. After watching the tournament today they seem to be correct.

Still 1-rip?

Yes, especially after the goal "scored" by LaValle of Gross's stick in the HM-MG game. East had a few near-misses, too.

2-2 with 4 minutes left in the 3rd

Pauley not happy with the call on #20?? Is he kidding? Absolutely the right call there. Unless elbows to the throat isn't a penalty.

Terribly stupid penalty by BSM.

And that's contact to the head. Come on MSHSL- what's it going to be?

Horn scores with 20 seconds left!

Awesome.

wow.....what a night session!!!!!

Eat it Giles.

All four seeded teams go down. Impressive.

Imagine that, you shoot the puck on net and good things happen.....Edina missed the net too many times the last 2 minutes.

Enough with the sentimental favorite stuff....Dollars to Doughnuts the crowd is very pro South Friday.

Wow, Christian Horn-very impressive kid.

C'mon Man!

Overall a very impressive season for the young Edina team. Gotta give them that. But Curt sure could've used some senior leadership at this juncture. Hey Curt, where were your seniors???

At JGA State Tourney next weekend.

I dont think the lack of seniors had anything to do with Edina losing in the quarters to a team that most people thought would win.

This group of players lost to 4 teams all season: Maple Grove, Tonka, Wayzata and Benilde. Not bad. These players outperformed all preseason predictions and played with great poise all season long.

Versus BSM, there was no indication that Edina was rattled, lost composure or had a case of the yips. Benilde put the puck in the net more often and deservedly won the game. A junior and a soph scored for Edina, and its freshmen and sophomores were unfazed by the first-time experience.

There are probably more reasons why Benilde proved to be the better team Thursday night, but lack of seasoning among the Hornets was not one of them.

No one can deny Besse's offensive skills, but did anyone else notice his lack of effort/backcheck on the play in the 3rd when I believe it was #23 for BSM got a penalty for hauling down Hurley. Besse totally had the best angle to get to Hurley but made no effort at all to get there. Is this his modus operandi or was that an aberation?

I think the biggest problem I say with that team is that the Edina D went backwards during the year. There is so much talent and skill back there but it really showed at times last night how poorly they were coached
