I have the lone Rapids vote so far. Just feel like this year is hard to predict (i.e. EGF beats Blaine then loses to Breck 6-rip) and can see another "WHAT, that makes no sense" result here.
After a huge effort from Rapids in last nights game..Big performance by Sheppard.It might be tough to come back the next night and do the same with Ep...EP is playing great. Big, Solid, Skilled team.

5-1 now. You might be right.
GR looks decent when they do get in the offensive zone. Problem is, it doesn't happen too often. Their breakouts...yikes. The shorthanded goals obviously aren't helping.
They have some potential and Shepard might steal them a few games, but until their D can start moving the puck, they're going to have a lot of trouble against these deep teams that can forecheck them to death.

Well, end score was 7-4 EP.... So I was half right
Rapids was clearly outplayed and Shepard just couldn't save this one for them. Rapids I'm guessing will probably go home after this tourney without a win.
lets face it slammer this is going to famous all year long it seems i know it seems like beating a dead horse, but it seems to be a well phrased quote this year:) your famous man
