Both teams coming off wins against top ranked teams. Both teams with great defenses that will only get better in the coming years. Loser will probably win the consolation bracket.

I think both of these teams will leave the tournament with two wins.... the tricky part will be where those wins come

Mahtomedi has to have the most momentum of any team going into the class A tournament,Beating 2 top ten teams in the section tournament including top ranked and defending state champions STA will do that.SCC has the edge in experience,being at the tourny last year has to be a big help this year.

SCC is the team I'm picking to win it all. The are on a long winning streak and have a lot of team speed.

Tough Matchup

Post by SCSUHOCKEYFAN15 » Sat Mar 07, 2009 11:00 am

This is a tough draw for SCC and more reason to seed all 8 teams and not just the top four.

yes, interesting how its better to be the 3 seed than the 2 seed....4 seed will have to contend with LF, but i think they are over rated and willnot win state now that they have to play 2 good teams back to back to win a championship

SCC remains my pick to win the whole tourney. Mahtomedi is a tough team and no doubt will make this an outstanding game. I think the Crusaders who shelled Hermantown will come out strong and play all around good hockey.

Crusaders-3
Zephyrs-2

What it does show is the weakness of the team, in net.
Mahtomedi takes it by 2.

Zephyrs have to watch out for is the long bomb pass at the start of the game. St. Cloud will take icings to stretch out the opponent. Shoot early and often. Remember last year?

I think Mahtemedi has what it takes to get the win but I think SCC will take it by one 2-1

Looks like this game is going to be a dandy! I've seen Mahtomedi play twice this week and they are definitely a fun team to watch. Two great teams in an awesome quarterfinal match-up. Should be a great class A tourney.

I think it will be close and down to the wire. Crusaders take this one 4-3 over the Zephyrs.

I have a girlfriend...she lets me get away with a lot.

Saw 12 high school games (11 in person, one on MyFoxHockey) between Friday Feb. 27th and Yesterday...

I think Cathedral is the better team but Mahtomedi is a very quick club that creates a lot of chances with their speed. It's hard to know how a teams offense will do as most solid offenses (Warroad, Hermantown, etc..) definitely have been limited by SCC's D.

IMO, Mahtomedi is the best unranked team from what I've seen...

If Mahtomedis goalie plays like he did against STA they will win.
