Semifinal Saturday! Better late than never.

Edina and Wayzata will square off for the 8th time in two seasons this afternoon.
Of the previous 7 meetings, 5 of them have been 1-goal games or ties with 4 of those going to overtime.

These two teams have a respectful rivalry, which is fun to see. Their games tend to be crisp and hard hitting. Nothing is left on the ice, but they play clean. Last year, when it was okay to do such things, it wasn't uncommon to see members of both teams gathering on the ice for a postgame prayer.

Both coaches teach their players to play the game the right way.

In the 2020 section quarterfinals, Jimmy Clark notched a hat trick including the OT winner to eliminate the Trojans.

What will happen this year?

No surprise but Andover will be the south representative in 7AA.

Andover up 7-2 third period over Elk River.

Hibbing leading Greenway 3-1 end of 2nd. period.

Cretin and Benilde scoreless after 1.

Benilde takes a 1-0 lead late in the 2nd. The questions about CDH were valid. BSM is outplaying them this period (I didn't see the first).

Anyone else having issues with the Edina-Wayzata stream?

edit: it's working again, no announcer sound though.

Hibbing holds on 4-1 (en), faces Denfeld in semis on Tuesday.

After 1:
Edina 1
Wayzata 1

Pretty even game. Edina with a few more Grade-A chances.

Both d-corps were a little sloppier in their own zones than usual. Gotta think nerves are a factor and they did settle in toward the end of the period.

Announcer sound is back on the stream which is great because this guy is a total pro.

When I close my eyes and listen to the announcer, all I can hear is Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura

2-0 Benilde. I don't see a comeback, but stranger things have happened. Cretin generating no offense.

3-0 Benidle. Ouch...

That game could be interesting. Denfeld struggled with the Bluejackets in the first meeting, and the two teams finished out the season in opposing fashion, with Denfeld losing three of four and Hibbing winning four straight.

4-0 Benilde upends Cretin.

As said above, it wasn't really a close game. We'll see tonight how the other upper teams in the Suburban East do...

After one
Breck 1, Minneapolis 0
Mustangs with the better of play and a 10-5 shot advantage

After 2:
Wayzata 4
Edina 2

Weird period. Edina carried the play for the first 10 minutes and found themselves down by 2 goals. Wayzata has scored two goals that have taken weird bounces and one on a seeing-eye shot from the blue line. Meanwhile, the Hornets had a ton of point blank chances including two crossbars. Wayzata started to establish their game during the last 7 minutes of the period.

Edina looks tired, which is something I almost never say about them. Williams and Wurst, in particular, have been on the ice a LOT. May have been a blessing in disguise for Williams to take a penalty so he could rest.

Edina will have 1:28 of power play time to open the 3rd period.

Grand Rapids wins 4-0 over Cloquet-E-C. Meeting Andover next Wed. Andover girls heading for the state again after beating GR-Gway 6-1.
Hopefully only one of them goes.

Hibbing's on the rise and along with Virginia & Eveleth joining forces next year going to be rough for my boys at Greenway.

Final score from The PIC:

Wayzata 8
Edina 2

The wheels fell off for the Hornets in the 3rd.

Wayzata took over the game after scoring their 4th goal. They looked like the playoff-style Trojans we're used to seeing - establishing their forecheck, playing physically and making the Hornets work to get through each zone.

Like I said, Edina looked tired. They didn't muster much on their power play opportunity to open the period, and seemed lifeless after that. You have to give Wayzata credit for that. They made life difficult on the Hornets.

Wayzata is an interesting team. They seem to be playing that typical Wayzata structured hockey, but also have a few more "lightning strike" players than usual. Players who can make something happen on a moment's notice. Lewis, Schnieder, Streeter, and O'Connell in particular stood out to me.

Shout out to the Hornet seniors.

What a weird, wild period. Breck scored on a nice tip-in early, then all heck broke loose midway through the period. Breck took a deserved major for head contact, and then the following occurred:
- Minneapolis scores to draw within one
- Breck player hauled down on SH break
- Mpls goalie with great glove save on the penalty shot
- Mpls takes a minor to negate rest of their PP

Roseau and Rogers tied at 3, going to overtime #2.
