				If St Thomas doesn't do a better job of breaking out of their own end than they did last night it will be a rout for Edina.

Edina also matches up better against STA than DE. I think it'll come down to STA's ability to sustain pressure and get the puck to their scorers, and it'll come down to goaltending. Can STA's goalie have another great game? Will Edina's let in a soft one or two?
I'm glad we get this matchup, will be much more entertaining watching two skating teams duke it out. Should be fun!

				This could actually be a good close game but I think Edina wins in a very high scoring game.
Edina 7 - STA 4

It could turn into a high scoring affair, but both of these teams play very sound defensively.

				STA 3-2.  What a great game it was with East.  Both teams skated and moved the puck great.

				I think east matches up better with Edina but on the other hand Edina won’t pound STA with the body like east. I think it’s going to be close I think Edina wins  5-3 but if STA gets fantastic goal tending I could see STA 3-2 in double or triple OT

State Tournament - You gotta care.
You hate the privates or you hate the  cake eaters but not equally.
Go Hornets.
I hate STA.

The "Who cares?" option is not opening and posting something stupid in this thread.

The Vanelli’s are good people, they did the right thing in moving up.  I wish them well and hope they go out on top.

So far you are correct. It looks like a high scoring game.......unfortunately.

				Edina gave up a 3-0 lead to Chaska this year. STA can do the same.

				When Edina went up 3-0 I thought "Running time".  Credit to STA for hanging around, down 5-3 now halfway through the 3rd

				I know that it's easy to blame the refs, but they do have a difficult job. I guarantee all of you that you would not be able to do the job they do in this situation.
With that in mind, it has been really inconsistent and frustrating. There were a few hits in this game that would have been penalties yesterday evening. Plus tons of cheap stick work imo.

				Nasty game with some raw emotions - Edina was the better team all year and proved it tonight.
Good season for the boys from STAA - fought hard until the end and will have the chance for some hardware tomorrow, just not the kind they were hoping for.
