Everyone wins because one of these teams is going to lose.

Seriously, while the Class A quarters are usually a complete fork in the eye, the semis have been rather exciting, especially the past couple of years. This should be a good game. Haven't watched a ton of these teams, but it looks like it should be strength versus strength (Breck's offense vs. STA's defense).

Breck's goalie looked sharp today, and that may be a difference. I'll go with STA though because their students are tougher since they're in the military.

Or, taking the "glass half empty" approach, everybody loses because one of those teams is going to win.

You're such a pessimist, Lee.

Who wins? Why wasn't 'who cares' listed as an option for the poll? I do care though, that TRF or Hermantown takes down whoever wins this game.

I like St. Thomas by a goal.

This game marks a mini championship in its self. Breck titles in 00' 04' 09' and 10' STA titles in 06' 08' and 11' so basically these teams dominated this decade in the state tourney and this is the first time they have met in the tourney.

STA plays a very methodical team game with very strict systems and they will methodically win the game over 3 periods. Whereas Breck is a highflyin gun slingin team that has the most talented offense i have seen in this tourney. It should be a great game!

The Pastor see's all and knows all! The Pastor Predicts that the winner of this game wins the tourney!

I like Kenney's facemask better then Zevnik's because he has a big cross on it and the schools chapel on the front!!!!! So Breck 5-3 with the upset!

Who cares? Both teams are gutless playing Single A...grow a pair like BSM...what they did tonight (beating Edina 3-2) actually means something!

What the hey... does AA now have 3 semi final games...

Post by **east hockey** » Fri Mar 09, 2012 11:21 am

Don't really care much who wins (but pulling a little for Breck), I just want them to play about 50 overtimes.

long lines at the gates, they wanted to get more fans in before they started

Before the game, seeing all the Breck fans dressed in pink, they said this was because Breck has girls on their campus.

Funny.

If Breck ties this game up here in the 3rd, it has the makings of a 50 overtime game as Lee requested.

Iceman33 · Post by **Iceman33** » Fri Mar 09, 2012 1:16 pm

Score?

1-0 STA with 7:00 minutes remaining Breck going on PP.

STA wins 1-0. God I hope they don't win the final......

Fact: Having girls at your school doesn't increase your chances of winning hockey games.
