This section is really close and should be interesting to watch play out. So anybody got any predictions?

prospector · Post by **prospector** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 10:53 pm

white bear has to be the favorite now since HM took that hit in players but dont count out the teams at the lower end,,, there has been alot of close games this season from Fl and MV against the big boys

youngblood08 · Post by **youngblood08** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 11:22 pm

Stillwater, Tartan or Roseville are my bets.

prospector · Post by **prospector** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 11:30 pm

roseville just lost to MV tartan is kina wishy washy stillwater isnt too bad but not the overall talent as WB

youngblood08 · Post by **youngblood08** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 11:50 pm

Stillwater and Tartan square off Tuesday night at Tartan. This should set the tone for the section tournament.

How is this for a end of the season schedule?

Stillwater @ Forest Lake Sat, Jan 31 7:30 pm FLAAA
Stillwater @ Tartan Tue, Feb 03 7:30 pm Tartan Arena
WBL @ Stillwater Thurs, Feb 05 7:30 pm St Croix
Cretin-Derham Hall @ Stillwater Sat, Feb 07 7:30 pm St. Croix
Stillwater @ Mounds View Tue, Feb 10 7:30 pm RC Shoreview
Stillwater @ Cloquet Esko Carlton Fri, Feb 13 7:30 pm Cloquet
Stillwater @ Duluth East Sat, Feb 14 1:00 pm Duluth Heritage
Park @ Stillwater Thu, Feb 19 7:30 pm St. Croix

Hopefully they get back on track with the PP and get the puck in the net a little more.

I agree that this section is really close. Here are who i think have a chance to win this section in order:

1. White Bear Lake: Overall they have the most talent and i think that they have the leadership to make it to state.

2. Hill-Murray: The suspension did hurt but they still are capeable of winning this thing. They have a very good sophomore goalie and soild lines.

3. Tartan: They're good but not great. They're capeable of beating Hill-Murray, Roseville, and Stillwater in my opinion. Also they don't have alot of depth.

4. Roseville: I pick them over Stillwater because they've shut them out twice. Roseville is a very strange team to me. They beat prety good teams like Stillwater, Forest Lake, and White Bear but then they lose to teams like Mounds View and Eastview who arn't very good.

5. Stillwater: They have beaten quality teams and stumbled aganist not so good teams. They could easily win this section if they're on top of their game just like every other team. I think that they need to look back at their 6-2 win over Benilde eariler this season and play like they did in that game.

Mounds View, North St. Paul, and Park all do have a chance of getting maybe a first round upset but just dont have the firepower to win this thing.

Hill Murray's goalie is a sophomore

I think come section time. Both Hill, and WBL will be playing great hockey, and meet for yet again another section championship. It's just meant to be

Would be nice to see somebody "new" go to state, such as Stillwater, but I think it will come down to Hill and White Bear again.

I do believe that Park is in 3AA.

And if 'it's just meant to be', then Hill will advance to yet another State Hockey Tournament.

With Hill and Stillwater faultering I have to go with WBL. Roseville might challenge the Bears if they play physical and stay out of the box. The TV games I saw WBL play in the 3rd line played as well or if not better than the top lines, so WBL is a very solid team. The Bears have alot of fire power with the 3 forward lines but are weak at defence. But they still have the edge in the Section. Its a put up or shut up year for WBL becauses it theres to win or lose with how the year is shaking out.

My sure bet is WBL and then hill, but i wouldnt be surprised to see stillwater pull off an upset

not with the way they have been playing lately. I guess tomorrow night will be quite the deciding factor for Stillwater and WBL.

Why do people keep saying Stillwater will get the upset?

Roseville Shut them out twice.

Tartan just beat them.

Maybe they can beat White Bear, but they can't beat the teams that everyone says they should eaisly beat.

1. HM

Because they beat BSM and WBL earlier. But you're right, they haven't really done anything since.

Lets see what happens on the 14th.

This section is incredibly close.
We got Hill Murry, SSP, and Tartan all with 15 points tied for 2nd place. St. Thomas is in 1st with 21.

It will be awesome and very interesting to see how this goes, Tartan will hopefully come out on top!

TITANS ALL THE WAY

Thank you, coming from a Hill Murray fan that is very nice of you not to just go off on a rampage.. like pucknutz.

Whats your point on that? That he is really good and will make it to state, or he's bad? Just wondering. Thanks

After Saturday's games, I'd say the section seedings should look something like this:
1. Winner of Thrusday's Hill-Tartan game
2. Loser of Hill-Tartan
3. Roseville
4. Stillwater
5. White Bear Lake
6. Mounds View
7. North St. Paul
8. Johnson
9. Como Park
10. Saints

There could still be a lot of movement among the top five teams. Right now, I have Stillwater above White BEar because they are 1-0-1 against the Bears this year. I see a big drop-off between 5 and 6. Mounds View is capable of pulling an upset, but I don't thing they're consistent enough to win the section.
