Who wins?

Blaine by 3 or more.

EP beat Blaine 7-6 in December. Both teams are playing better than they did in that game so I'm going to take EP even though I would love to see an Edina v. Blaine final. Hope I didn't just jinx Edina.

I'll take Blaine 5-3.

I think Blaine wins a close game. I’ll go Blaine 5 (en) EP 3

I'd have a hard time picking against Blaine after EP played almost two games yesterday. But if their goalie's hot...

Blaine 4 EP 1

I want to see Blaine win but have a feeling it’s EP’s year.

EP 4 - Blaine 3 (2OT)

EP barely squeaked by LS. Blaine in a route.

I think this is going to be a fantastic game , Blaine 5-4 double ot

Blaine in running time

ImHO Blaine is the hotter team

Beat Hill at their home ice in sections , and played better against the Bears than Ep did against Lv South in the Qtrs

Top line is close to 200 pts fir the season , if not already over that

Brodzinski and Richels can hit an opening the size of a grapefruit

18 Rows up looking at daninger from the side

two pretty light calls to give EP a 5-3. Somebody must have told the refs to keep the game tight

Hillman should not have retaliated to give EP the power play, but the fact that they didn’t call the first cross check to give Blaine a 5-3 is silly. I’d prefer they let them play, but you have to be consistent and the refs have not been that

Officiating has been, shall we say, "interesting"

Blaine needs to settle down and get going.

Hillman is a bit of a spaz sometimes.

Yeah they have to stay out of the box. That last penalty was dumb. It was basically the exact one they didn’t call on EP, but at this point you have to know that will be a penalty

EP got the benefit of biggest blown call in overtime to get here, now their getting all the calls this period.

Wow! that call was horrible!

Refs need to put the whistles away, this is brutal.

No skin in this game, but hate to see a game decided by the refs. The blown no-call that would have given Blaine a 5-3 up two goals and instead ends up with an EP PP was a game-changer.

Absolutely agree. This has been the absolute worst officiating I have seen in a tourney in a long time. No skin in this one but I am all for Blaine coming back in this one.

First they get the benefit of a seeding joke then this reffing joke...they have a horseshoe in their pocket for sure!!!

Game turned on a dot right there.

Nothing is hidden here with the reffing. Blaine needs to be disciplined or this is going to turn real ugly.
