Hard to believe but this will be the 2nd to last Big Games contest for the regular season. The handful of big games that are to be played after Saturday, Feb. 5th will be added to next week's final contest. After that we'll try to get something going for sections.

I thought for these final two weeks we would add a few extra games that involve teams that may not yet be ranked but are doing well lately and could continue to do well in sections. So just for fun we will have a few more games than normal.

Please post your picks before 6:00 pm Monday or, if necessary, post Monday's game separately before 6:00 pm Monday and add the others before 6:00 pm on Tuesday:

We have a smaller group than usual this week, with just eight of us. Tonight's lone match-up produced the expected result, with Warroad beating East Grand Forks 9-2. Everyone gets a point heading into a much busier day tomorrow when we'll have four games on tap.

Here are the results so far through 10 weeks of these contests, with just this and next week to go. The number is how many times each person has finished first, or in a tie for first, through the 10 weeks:

OntheEdge - 3
hockeyheaven - 3
Antagonist - 2
TeamFirst - 2
FlyingWarrior - 2
MNHockeyFan - 2
capitalist - 1
titleist - 1
penaltyshot - 1
woogieboogiewoogie - 1
sinbin - 1

Now if I can just win these last two...

Sorry about being late. Better late than never.

Too late for Warroad vs EGF but maybe the mt-net goal call by Tonka
could be worth something. What do you think MNHockeyFan.

Why don't we allow you, penaltyshot and sinbin the point on the Warroad-EFG game. Everyone else had picked Warroad to win, and I think it's a pretty safe bet that you guys would have as well. This should trump your nice try on the mt-net goal...

Will have an update later on...

Buffalo 2 North Wright County 1 in OT

Hmmmmm.....still wondering why every one didn't just copy me on that one! 2 points.....I'm sure I'll need them!!!

LOL, I should have known, V. Just waiting on the Minnetonka-EP score, anybody know?

Bedtime, results and standings with the Minnetonka-Eden Prairie game still to be reported:

Hastings 4, Mounds View 3 (TeamFirst nails the score and gets 2 points)
North Wright County 1, Buffalo 2 - OT (Silent But Deadly and hockeyheaven get 2)
Andover 1, Blaine 2 (TeamFirst also gets this one; my upset pick lets me down )

Standings with the Minnetonka-Eden Prairie yet to be figured in:

1. TeamFirst - 6
2. hockeyheaven - 5
3. Silent But Deadly - 4
FlyingWarrior - 4
laugh-N-allseason - 4
sinbin - 4
me - 2

Girls hockey: Eden Prairie vs. Minnetonka

http://www.kare11.com/sports/prep/prep_ ... &catid=344

Thanks to ghs for reporting the 5-0 Minnetonka score. Everybody predicted the Skippers would win but nobody thought it would be 5-0 (although several were very close). So add one to everybody's point total above as we look forward to tomorrow night's three games.

P.S. Minnetonka's game against Edina on Saturday will be HUGE! Will it once again end in a tie? If Edina wins do they deserve to be No. 1?

Great game. Buffalo played great especially the goalie..

Thanks for the link on the Tonka vs E/P game video.
If anyone wants to see some bigtime goaltending
scroll up to GHSHOCKEYFAN post.
Maybe a new thread could be made for videos.

Here's a video preview of one of our Saturday matchups. I'm wondering if because it's going to be played outside it might even things up a little? Our group has is unanimous that Coon Rapids will win.

http://www.kare11.com/sports/sports_...03981&catid=24

Just two of our three game scores are in:

Hastings 2, Farmington 3
White Bear Lake 9, Mounds View 3

In the first game six of eleven picked Farmington to win, and mnhockey3535
predicted the score. Everybody thought WBL would win, but score 9 against a good Mounds View team? laugh-N-allseason did have the margin right, having said 6-0.

So with Orono/Mound-Westonka still to be reported, we have:

1. TeamFirst - 9 (7 of 7 winners including two correct scores!)
2. Silent But Deadly - 7 (6 of 7 with a correct score)
hockeyheaven - 7 (6 of 7 with a correct score)
4. Four tied with 6
