7AA Quarterfinal: Forest Lake at Grand Rapids

Post by **karl(east)** » Sun Feb 16, 2014 5:50 pm

The only AA quarterfinal between two top 25 AA teams will take place at the IRA Civic Center at 7:00 on Tuesday. This has grown into a mini playoff rivalry as well, with the Rangers knocking off the Thunderhawks twice in the past 5 years. Rapids leads the all-time playoff series 6-2.

Who gets a date with (presumably) Duluth East on Saturday?

Home ice should help GR but I wouldn't sleep on Flake. I saw then twice and they are the type of team that will beat Rapids, especially with no one knowing which Jeckyl and Hyde GR team will show up. If GR gives up it's usual 40+ shots Flake will make them pay.

I like Forest Lake in this one 3-1.

Even though as an East fan I would way rather have Rapids win.

For all the loudmouths from GR and FL on this forum, this is sure quiet. I expected to see some humorous material here.

Grand Rapids wins 4-2.

Please pick up the banter...

Where's old goalie85 who said FL (15-8-4) was the best team in the suburban east this year, they must also then be the best team in 7AA. Maybe even the state!

Rather have GR win?? I would much rather see Flake in the Semis than Rapids. Flake has never been a rivalry with DE. Rapids has played East tough as anyone over the last 3-4 years.

I'll take Rapids to win this game 4-2.

Forest Lake 4, Rapids 1. Would much rather see a Rapids-East semifinal. The atmosphere at Amsoil would certainly be more exciting, but based on how Rapids has played this entire year, Shepherd will need one of his "stand on his head" games for Rapids to win. Rapids' play in their defensive end has shown little improvement over the year.

I am confident GR will be a completely different team come playoffs. The last month and a half was just a little trial and error. The Hounds will have their tails between their legs come Saturday at noon.

GR 5-2....make that 6-2!

The last month and a half was mostly error.

I like F-Lake 4-2 (en)
I'd really like to see them run to the section final just to validate that the SEC is not the joke that the some think it is...

They could have lost their last 15 and it still doesn't matter.

They break out history books for seeding..

Well if I was going based on if I wanted East to have the easier opponent I would like Forest lake. But I want to see a good game, so id love for rapids to win.

Again??? Last time I checked Rapids hasn't beat East in like 8 or 9 tries. And since when is this Bischoff's team? I think Peterson and Sheppard would have something to say about that.
