Class A Semifinal: EGF vs. STA

[DekeDangler]

EGF will not be able to pull this off if they continue to run just 2 sets of D. They seem to be struggling already. That's what seemed to happen to them in the 3rd period of the last game.

Tommy Novak stop it, that was too nasty.

Pretty sure STA would win the AA tourney this year.

EGF by 3

Now that I would like to see!

Amen. Thought I'd pick with my heart.

The STA student section is right. "This is awkward."

4 goals from STA's Regan-Perry-McManus line in this one.

[jeffpv]

Oh, dear.
6 - rip not even mid-way through the second.
Ouch.

[dherman8]

Yes. Maybe they should try the WCHA. What a joke.

Haha that's a good one.

And we will just take your word for it

The chants you can come up with are amazing when you don't have to watch the game because the outcome is already determined.

Took a bath instead, it was more interesting. And that thing floating in the water is my pee pee. Hopefully running time kicks in soon. Not a fan of the anti-private but am glad STA is leaving A.

I'm not sure what you mean, but I've watched all the games for both classes, and I haven't seen another team, apart from perhaps Edina, who moves the puck like STA, have you?
Not to mention they're nearly impossible to score on and have one of the best goalies in the state.
I'm not referring to earlier in the year, I'm talking about now.

[Sats81]

Agreed, I think STA would win AA too. If not, for sure finish in top 3. They beat Edina and Hill this year. They are as good or better than any team in AA. You are insane if you don't think they are.

[dherman8]

There is no defending this, there is nothing to argue. Can we lock this thread now?

Well I wouldn't call it amazing, but its better than "we got spirit, yes we do."

[Nostalgic Nerd]

Lookin' like they could score 10+ even with their third and fourth lines.

No one is arguing anything, take the drama this way.

We were talking about winning class AA but it doesn't matter. No drama here. Thanks to STA.

This isn't an argument, it's a discussion.
Since the game isn't too compelling, we can at least speculate on other things, no?

By the way, I really feel sorry for the EGF goalie.

There ya go.

I think that backup goalie just tried the stand up kick save on that five hole goal.

I agree. The sad thing is he has no chance on most of these.

[DubCHAGuy]

Yes STA has looked like the best puck moving team out there during there playoff run against #90, #68, #29, #59, and #22 in the PS2 rankings. None of the AA teams have been as impressive.

I would have given them a 70% (3AA) or 30% chance (4AA) of even making the AA tourney, depending on what section they played in. And I'd give them around 50-50 odds against each of the teams playing tonight. So yes, I think they could win the AA championship but we'll never know. The AA champ is usually whoever is playing their best against the best competition at the right time and not always the best team.

Right, he might have had a chance on a couple, but he certainly is not to blame. It's hard to actually judge how he's playing, because most of STA's goals look like something out of the NHL All-Star game (and those goalies can't stop them, either!).

Fair enough. However, if they dismantle Hermantown like this tomorrow...well, I think that'd make a pretty strong case.
Bright side is that we'll see next year
