I prefer that the Hawks win, but I have a feeling a juicy rebound from H-town's goalie will sink them.
I think both goalies have had their good and bad moments. How many times has Hermantown helped Breck by missing great opportunities? Just feel like there is a difference between last night's overtime game and this one being that last night just felt like Wayzata was going to win once they got the equalizer and this one feels like no team has the momentum.

Penalty shot for Hermantown.

Wow this could get good.

Absolutely the right call too.

No offense to the Hermantown kid, but giving a 3rd-liner with 4 goals on the year a penalty shot may have been a better outcome than an actual power play, from Breck's perspective.

Anyone remember the last State Tourney penalty shot? Has there been one since Spehar in 95? I would assume there has, but I don't remember it.

Man, that takes guts to call that in 2OT at the State Semis :shock:

Pretty questionable approach by the Hermantown player, I have to say. Still, nice save by the Breck goalie...

Agreed. Ben Hanowski had one against St. Thomas one of those years.

You're right, this could go either way.

It does seem like the Hermantown goalie has problems locating the puck when it's behind the net and gets out of position quite often. The Breck goalie looks more confident as well.

Sweet game!

Goal by Hermantown, heading back to the title game!

My pick 'em is holding up just fine so far.

What a game! Both teams had their chances and both teams deserved to win this one. Very exciting. Would love to see Hermantown dump STA (doubtful) but too bad someone had to lose, just like Wayzata Centennial last night.

Good shot? The that trickled off his stick at 1mph wide of the net?
