Section 2A

Mora started out flying in the first about 7 minutes of the game. And really dominated shots there. But shots on goal for the game were misleading, just because mora probably had 13 shots or so after the first 7 minutes.

CLOQUET ‹ Junior goaltender Joel Rindelaub stopped 28 shots as the Crusaders beat the Mustangs in the Section 2A semifinals at Cloquet Arena. Cathedral (24-4 overall) face top-seeded Duluth Marshall for a berth in the state tournament at 7 p.m. Thursday at the MAC. Rindelaub spent Saturday morning at St. Cloud Hospital receiving fluids after suffering from flu-like symptoms Friday night. Freshman Matt Crandell had two goals and two assists for the Crusaders, who had two power-play goals. Mora/H-F 0 0 0 ‹ 0 Cathedral 1 3 2 ‹ 6 First period: 1.

Any predictions on Thursdays game at the MAC? Since Cathedrals last lost to Duluth Marshall (5-2), The Crusaders have won their last 17 games and are red hot. This game is too close to call, and will be a fun one to watch. -----Good luck to SCC and DM.

CLOQUET ‹ The Storm gave up two power-play goals in a Section 4A semifinal loss to the top-seeded Hilltoppers at Cloquet Arena. It was the third straight year Sauk Rapids (9-16-2 overall) lost in the section semifinals. Duluth Marshall goaltender Casey Geissler was credited with a goal in the third period. With a delayed penalty called on Marshall, Sauk Rapids pulled goaltender Justin Lochner. But a pass to the extra skater near the blue line went over the skater's head and into the empty net. Geissler was the last player to touch the puck. "I had to get the rulebook out to make sure it was a goal, but I've never seen that happen," Sauk Rapids coach Sheldon Weston said. Sauk Rapids 0 0 0 ‹ 0 Duluth Marshall 2 2 1 ‹ 5 First period: 1. DM ‹ Brian Castle (Bryan Sederberg, Matt Letourneau) 11:52; 2. DM ‹ Chris Connolly (Scott Koziak, Dan Moline) 14:58 pp. Second period: 3. DM ‹ Scott Paul (Brandon Johnson) 6:11; 4. DM ‹ Connolly (Paul, Moline) 14:31 pp. Third period: 5. DM ‹ Casey Geissler (unassisted) :30. Shots on goal: SR ‹ 5-7-2 ‹ 14; DM ‹ 12-19-11 ‹ 42. Goaltenders: SR ‹ Justin Lochner (37 saves); DM ‹ Geissler (12).

2ahockeyoldtimer- Id be interested to hear your pick for Thursdays game?

marshallhockeyrules · Post by **marshallhockeyrules** » Sun Feb 29, 2004 3:05 pm

do we even have to play this game? cant they just give us (DM) the hardware and spare cathedreal the embarassment? and while theyre at it just give us the state championship too cause thats gonna be too easy.

billyblanks08 · Post by **billyblanks08** » Sun Feb 29, 2004 4:10 pm

WOW marshallhockeyrules thats a bold statement. You really think Cathedral is that big of a pushover. Maybe so but in the last game cathedral played them i think cathedral's coach made a bad decision. At the end of the 2nd the score was 3-1 and cathedral pulled their goalie and rindelaub had to come in cold and let in two pretty soft goals. i think that is what cost cathedral the game. as of my predictions i think it will be way to close to call. should be a good one

2ahockeydude · Post by **2ahockeydude** » Sun Feb 29, 2004 5:06 pm

I have to say this once, and will never comment on this again.. Mora should be ashamed of their players. That was a sad thing to watch. The real sad thing is that it's not all of the players, but their reputations will stick with them for years.. What a way to end a career in hockey boys... Why doesn't their coach have any control of those kids?? Some of the boys did show some maturity and I hope that their parents recognize that. It's such a shame when 2 to 4 players can make an entire operation look like a big joke... OK, Thursday... gonna be a barn-burner I think. DM v SCC.. I gotta call it: too-close-to-call.... Could it be that a 2 1/2 hour road trip could be tough on a team like DM?? Don't know, only what I've heard... See 'ya all at the MAC in St. Cloud

LU4 · Post by **LU4** » Sun Feb 29, 2004 5:15 pm

I really think the states slowest ice, the MAC may have a huge impact on this game. SCC is able to play at this slower level on that rink and may be able to contain a lot of DM's firepower. The bus trip too, will effect DM. I think that Rindelaub is playing really well, and if they get another solid performence out of him, SCC may be able to pull one out. Yet, if he lets in a couple soft ones, I don't think SCC can rally back against DM's veteren defense to win. The prediction: SCC 4 DM 2 This game is going to be a classic...

2AhockeyOldTimer · Post by **2AhockeyOldTimer** » Sun Feb 29, 2004 6:02 pm

The past couple of years 2A has put together some dandy finals. The Pine City vs. Princeton game in 2002 was 3-2. And last year Princeton beat SCC 3-2 in double overtime. Does SCC still have last years final in their mind? Will that help them or hurt them?

Ahockeyman · Post by **Ahockeyman** » Sun Feb 29, 2004 7:56 pm

In response to 2Ahockeyoldtimer, I wasnt actually at the games but from what I've heard Marshall looked good and controlled the game. Giessler scoring a goal, I'll never forget that. In the other game Mora shot themselves in the foot and could never get back into the game. Well, the section final is what everyone has been waiting for and it promises to be a show. Since Marshall has shown their focus by not giving a goal yet in the playoffs, I'm leaning towards them in the finals. It should be pretty tight unless SCC has goalie issues again.

RinkRat10506 · Post by **RinkRat10506** » Sun Feb 29, 2004 8:19 pm

I went to the game last night and expected a better game than it was. Mora came out pretty good in the begining of the first period, they had a hard time getting any quality shots, and had a hard time getting the puck on the net. I would say the game was pretty evenly matched, Cathedral goalie played a pretty good game though. Cathedral did a good job of not letting Mora get to the net without a defensemen on them. Mora took alot of stupid penalties, Kastenbauer had at least three, he should of been benched. I know who some of these players are and they do have attitudes so none of this surprised me. Well, good luck to Marshall and Cathedral.

I think we should get a hockeywriter (may he rest in peace) style of Preview on here. I can't do it because im really no good at doing that. But he sure did a good job at the previews. He pretty much did overviews and comparisons from lines 1-3, Defense, Special Teams, and goalies. That would be nice.

ptown tigers · Post by **ptown tigers** » Sun Feb 29, 2004 9:32 pm

This should be a hella of a game. If you remember last year Princeton beat SCC i believe it was 5-3 (one weak goal against 4th line and 5 and 6 D within last minute, it was basically domination by Princeton all game) Then came back 4 games later and gave us quite possible the toughest game all season double OT. DM may over look them, because they have allready beat them. It should be a great game, and with it at the MAC, i would have to give the nod to SCC in this one. damn it hurts to say it even. Good Teams Would be Nothin without Good Water.....

MKMB · Post by **MKMB** » Sun Feb 29, 2004 9:38 pm

SCC has really been on lately but so has DM. Rindelaub is a good goalie that has been strong lately. Geissler has been very strong too, two shutouts in a row. That goal that went to him must even make him feel better then he does. Both goalies are hot right now! I am going to go with DM, they have been getting stronger and stronger. They also have proved that they can play at away games and win. Their tough schedule should help them with this game. If Marshall scores first then SCC has to watch out. Should be a close game, could go either way but i think Marshall will win. DM-3 SCC-1

2AhockeyOldTimer · Post by **2AhockeyOldTimer** » Sun Feb 29, 2004 9:48 pm

I'm still amazed by that goal against SR. How many goalies have recorded goals in MN high school history?

suckhole00 · Post by **suckhole00** » Sun Feb 29, 2004 10:01 pm

Im gonna just make a stab in the dark about this game. I think the teams are evenly matched and i dont think there is gonna be lots of scoring. With DM's veteran defense and goaltending i think SCC is gonna have a hard time putting the puck away. On the flip side, with the Crusaders starting Rindelaub, instead of Ziemann, i think the game is gonna be a stalemate. I think the game is gonna be decided by a 'flook' goal by either team. SCC - 2 DM - 1 just my .02<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/pimp.gif ALT=":hat">

RinkRat10506 · Post by **RinkRat10506** » Sun Feb 29, 2004 10:20 pm

I think St. Cloud Cathedral will pull it off this year. They want state because they just missed it last year. If the goalie plays good like the game against Mora, they will win. SCC-4 Marshall-2

bodycheck · Post by **bodycheck** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 12:45 am

It's easy to tell where most of you experts live : south of Barnum on I35. Anyone that sincerely gives SCC a chance has to explain to me how a putrid squad like Duluth Central could almost beat them at their place. If SCC even stands a chance, they have to score at least four goals. Frankly, that's not gonna happen.

2ahockeydude · Post by **2ahockeydude** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 6:46 am

If my research is accurate... (read: third party...<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"> ) then DM is really 1 - 6 when traveling any distance against quality teams.. I'Falls is the 1?? I dunno, I think that this game will be close, and it could become a battle of the goalies and the defense... DM beat a sad little team in Sauk Rapids, who was able to beat Princeton, (who seemed to lose something at the end of the season...) while SCC dominated another sad little team in the semi's. I don't know how to compare these teams via those games... so it could very easily come down to travel distance/time. So, I'll go out on a limb here.. SCC 4 (empty net) DM 2

So just cause we live in Central Minnesota we don't know anything about hockey? Come on don't rip on other peoples predictions just make your own.

Hey Rinkrodent, here's my prediction: DM..6 SCC..2 By the way, I never said you don't know anything about hockey. You just don't know good hockey!!! SCC is going to pay for their pushover schedule. I also predict they will roll over after they fall behind by 3. QUIT!
