As we know, anything can happen in hockey games with occasional surprising results.
Just for fun, let's test the
myhockeyrankings.com model. The model's theory is that the difference in rating between the teams is the predicted difference in the final score. Disclaimer: As we know from our mutual funds, past performance does not guarantee future results.
Statistically, the myhockeyrankings.com model offers the following predictions:
First Round
Highland (-4) over Brainerd
Bloomington (-2.5) over EGF
Bemidji (-.5) over Edina White
Centennial Red (-6) over Rochester
Second Round
Highland (-.5) over Bloomington
Centennial Red (-3.5) over Bemidji
Championship
Centennial Red (-5) over Highland
Based on the games I've seen this year, I'd put Bloomington over Highand and Edina White over Bemidji. Note that both games are predicted to be the closest games by the model.

Interesting take. I look forward to seeing how it pans out. I will be at the tournament and will try to post scores as soon as I can. Sorry, no Iphone.
Any other predictions?

Anybody want to take the time to predict using the "Let's Play (metro) Hockey" rankings?

<sarcasm>OK, no reason to play the tournament. Wayzata will be awarded the championship
in abstentia.</sarcasm>

I knew Wayzata was good but for them to win a tournament they didn't enter would be truly impressive.
