Section 4A???
Who will be the team to prevail from this section? With STA, SSP, Maht., and Totino. In my eyes any of these teams could beat any of these teams on any given night. So who makes the trip to St. Paul?

I completely agree with you packerpuck. St. Thomas is obviously a perennial powerhouse and they have a great chance to retunr downtown. The Packers are a defensively strong team and can ride their goalie for a big win. Mahtomedi has a very dangerous player in Marshall and could upset anyone. Dont know anything bout Totino but im sure they are a solid group.

Section 4A???
I watched the SLP/Totino-Grace game and I would say that Totino was out scored by SLP not necessarily out played or pounded by SLP. I give credit to SLP for winning, but the score did not reflect how the game was played. Totino started their back-up goalie, and did play sloppy at times, but they out shot SLP 2 to 1 in the first period and were down 3-0 after one. Totino continued their 2 to 1 shooting ratio and missed 3 break aways in the second period. Totino controlled most of the game by dominating in the corners and around the net. SLP responded by icing the puck on a regular basis and had one player who played very well and had a heck of a shot; SLP's goalie also played very well. In my opinion Totino has more skilled players across the board and more depth and I would have to pick Totino over SLP during the play-offs. Just some views and comments from a neutral party. It was a fun game to watch!

couldnt agree more. SLP plays great against good teams and always seems to play decent against ok teams. But if they come ready to play i think SLP could have a chance to make it to the section final. i wouldnt say they are going to win it but they could make it to the section final. Who is carrying this team? didnt they lose about 12 seniors last year?MrBoDangles wrote:SLP has some young talent helping them turn into a contender. Two one goal losses to Mahtomedi and Totino earlier in the year, then pounded Totino the other day. Their playing great hockey now, Just might be a five team race.

ok umm i think they could possibly beat totino in the quarters but they are going to play St. Thomas in Semifinals and will not beat them.. no offense to them but STA is the #1 team in state and have too much depth. Semis is the farthest i see them going
STA will get the 1 seed, Totino 4 or 5, so this would be a look into a possible semi-final matchup. Should be a good game, as Totino has played very well against top competition, and will have the top player on the ice IMO. Of course, if Totino wins they could be looking at the 3 seed, in which case, who knows? Will just have to see how it all plays out.deacon wrote:STA vs TG this coming week will be a great game, and possibly a look into the section finals. SSP has a great goalie so we'll see how far he can take them. STA is the best team in the section, although the section has some pretty good teams.

With the 10-0 trouncing that STA put on Totino I would have to say that this has turned into a 3 team race. I really thought Totino was a better team than this, obviously they are not at the level it takes to compete in this section.
Mahtomedi with a convincing win over Hill Murray really brings them back into the mix more than they were a week ago. STA still the favorite, but I am really interested to see what happens when they play SSP later this year. Im hoping that the Packers can play all 3 periods like they played the first two in there last meeting which resulted in a tie.
