I gotta think Luverne from the top half and Kansas City From the bottom half. Too bad KC and Bloomington meet in the first round. I bet they could meet in the ship if in different brackets.

CR usually has well Coached teams. Crow and KC should match up well, but I think KC slips by them. I'd say fav Championship matchup would be Princeton and KC.

Heard Princeton and Waconia won in the first round tonite. Not sure of scores.

Scores from the Owatonna Tourney:

Princeton-6
Luverne-2

Luverne skated 8 forwards. One didn't show, don't know why. Considering they skated down a man, they played a good game. The game consisted of three 15 minute stop time periods with ice cleaned between 2nd and 3rd periods. The first two periods were cleanly skated, at one point six minutes rolled of the clock without any stoppages.

The Cardinals trailed 3-2 early in the third. Then they gave up three goals in 6 minutes. The first came when the Luverne goalie couldn't control the rebound and a melee of sticks at the goalie's knees resulted in the puck flopping over his shoulder and into the net. The second came when a Tiger forward left the puck on one side of the net and continued around behind the net and drew the goalie to his side. A second Tiger forward took control of the puck, made a quick pass that resulted in an easy goal from the slot into the open side of the net. The third goal was the result of a melee in front of the net and the puck being banged in.

Princeton had only 12 forwards themselves and both teams worked hard.

Waconia-4
Owatonna-3

This game went into overtime. It was a very physical game. Owatonna opened the scoring off a rebound that came into the slot and was one-timed in the lower corner of the net before the goalie could re-act.

In the second period, Owatonna added a second goal off a melee in front of the net at the 9 minute mark and held that two goal lead until the last minute of play. Then a Waconia forward, being chased all the way by a Husky defenseman, moved across the blue line along the boards, skated around the board corner, came behind the net and out on the goalie's left just inside the faceoff circle, did a spin-a-rama and shot the puck in the far corner of the net.

With the score 2-1, Waconia fired up in the third period and Owatonna fired back as the game turned into a good up and down hockey game. Both teams skated. But at the five minute mark, Waconia scored off a face off in the Husky's zone to tie the score 2-2.

At the one minute mark, Waconia took a 3-2 lead on a shot from the point that was deflected, changing direction, and beat the goalie moving to make the save on the original shot direction. The Huskies gained control of the puck in the Waconia zone off the ensuing face off and pulled their goalie. A sixth forward skated into the slot as the puck slid from behind him. He drove it into the net over a sprawling Waconia goalie.

With a minute to go in a 4 on 4 overtime period Waconia scored the winning goal. It was a good game to watch.

One final score:

Owatonna Ice Storm-1
Car Accidents-many

Sort of bummed that I correctly picked two games out of two INCLUDING the Championship Game and nobody here so much as even called me a name!
