Going with Cathedral as I think the defense for them is stronger. I am expecting a great game, regardless.

SCC will win...will be a very tight game, but SCC defense and goalie will carry them to the championship.

SCC's defense is very solid and will be to slow down the offense of STA. Also, I keep thinkin Schmidt is due to have a big game.

Wow. Suprising score for the Blake game, especially after the first. Although, I think Little Falls is a great team as evidenced last night.

I think SCC will do to STA exactly what DM did earlier in the year. That's play very physical game against STA. Don't give'em the space they can't make the plays.

I think Cathedral takes the Cadets defensively.

I'm saying:

Saint Cloud Cathedral: 4
Saint Thomas Academy: 3

LF really gave STA a game with their physical play. SCC has this same kind of game. I will take SCC by one goal.

I wish I could take tomorrow off of work just to watch this game. Classic match up of offense v. defense. The goalie for STA has to play better than he did on Wednesday.

As much as it pains me, STA will win a barn-burner.

I'm curious what people are referring to. I saw SCC play once this year and STA three times. SCC has decent defense, but so does STA. So, as good as SCC's defense is, defense doesn't score goals (offense does). I know STA has great defender and a good offense and all I've heard (and seen) is SCC's good defense. The game I saw they had no offensive power. It may be low scoring if their defense is playing really well, but I don't see them winning.

For STA to win they must protect their goal. I seen this D group at X-Mas vs. Benilde. Very solid. But i seen them Wed. vs. LF and a couple of these guys were all over the ice. They need to stay home and protect the Soph. goalie. Have the Vanelli's forgot Crandell left?

IF SCC's defense plays defense first and not rush the puck every chance they get, I think that they will win the game. If they think that they have to do the scoring, then I think STA's forwards will eat them alive.

I believe that SCC will win by 1 goal, OR STA will win by 3 or more. The key for Cathedral will be to not get behind.

Cathedral game on Wednesday had no flow. HOT POTATO with the puck & I did not see the ability to finish.

Cathedrals ā€œDā€ is there team. TJ & Nate did there job, other two need to improve today. Goalie along with depth at forwards will be weak link here.
Cadets have the forwards on all three lines and that will make the difference. Cadets do have ā€œDā€ and goalie also that match up in this game. Those 3 Forward lines was the difference against the Small Falls (good win yesterday by the way). That game had flow & pace. Small Falls would have walked over Cathedral if that was the match up Wednesday.

Cathedral does not move the puck as well, have kids that are solo artist and that will be the factor to lose.

It will be decided by who comes to play, down to four.
Congratulates to BOTH teams for making it to the St. Paul! Only one moves on.

Cathedral isn't a better team than Little Falls. STA will walk in this one
