Nobody has circled the wagons like da Burnsville Braves over da last 10 years

STA grew a pair and opted up but can da braves beat them and Da Mount Rose in the Sections and go back to state one more time?

highly doubt it , STA may pull an upset in 1st state tourney game that will give a preview of what the team will do the next couple of years

doubtful. the games in this section should be 'closer' if teams play sta physically.

Right on schedule for the section final

Ill speak on behalf of Sats, were taking da Braves to win

Bring on the Braves.

STA has more skill IMO, but the braves might be a little deeper. Ill take STA in a close one but could go either way.

*yawn

despite getting pulled in the last game, i'd imagine Atticus Kelly gets the start in this one. it'll be interesting to see how short of a leash he's on.

What happened?

kelly gave up 3 goals on about 15 shots, hard to say who will start on thursday, 2 young goalies

Kelly is better but STA has a history of starting older goalies... Aldricker (sp?) over Mcneely comes to mind

it's not a bad problem to have. Kelly played double (or so) the minutes this year. after looking more into Burnsville, I am really excited for this game, I think it'll be a classic.

Bump

I wont be attending tonight cause Burnsville has lost every section final ive been to except the AHA upset, which means they most definitely will win tonight cause i wont be there and they are playing a private school

Go Braves!

Hope you're wrong on that one! It'll be a good game regardless. I'm excited to see if this younger core at STA can get the job done. STA also has put up some pretty poor results in section finals in recent years. Good luck

Is anyone heading to this game? I'm about 50/50 on if im going or to stay home an watch the stream of 7aa.
If nobody else is going I'll probably go just so we have someone to update.

Not true...The Cadets went to state last year, lost in the finals the year before, and won a state tournament the previous three years before that.

Of the last 5 section finals, they've won 4 (their only loss to an Eagan team who did surprisingly well at State).

Obligatory "is this being streamed anywhere?" question.

Could only find audio

http://www.msbnsports.net/

Jason Knuth has on his Twitter feed a picture of Ridder Arena from where the camera is, holding out hope there's video.

And the game is listed under their video schedule as well as the audio schedule.....

Kelly starting in net. Fyi

0-0 after one, shots are 16-7 on the board, that seems off to me, I would say 14-9, but I'm not paid to do it.

Both goalies look good, lee for Bville has had to make some tougher saves but neither looks nervous or shaky.
Otto and osland were very good for Burnsville. Otto looks the best for either team so far. Bville's top line is pretty good, after that their is a drop. The cadets are deeper, but the players on those depth lines are pretty young, small guys.
Burnsville is the bigger team, but both are playing the body well.
Burnsville had two penalties, StA had none.
I believe roman Achan took the first one, which was about 15 seconds in. The refs talked it over to see if it should have been five, but just gave it two for roughing.
The 2nd one was bizarre. Burnsville crashed the net and a little pushing broke out after the whistle. They only took yhe blaze player when the situation should have been coincidentals or nothing. It didn't make sense to take one and not the other at least from what I saw.

1-0 Bville 20 seconds into the 2nd. Otto on the goal

2-0 Wagner with the goal. 7 min left in 2nd
