St Thomas @ Richfield 1-6-07
St Thomas (9-3-1) is traveling to Richfield (4-6) to play section 3A opponents this Saturday. In the past couple years Richfield has always played better than the stats would've shown the game should be. Will this year be different?
Re: St Thomas @ Richfield 1-6-07
Richfield played them twice last year losing by only a goal each time so i wouldn't underestimate them. My guess is Richfield will be pissed off from the beating Hill Murray put on them Thursday night; should be a fun one to watch.

Well, that's what I tried to point out. On paper St Thomas should've beat them really bad last year but didn't either time. Richfield was probably the one team St Thomas didn't want to meet in sections last year. Richfield has a really good goalie too. I'm hoping Crandall has a sweet game, the defense plays up and St Thomas wins by 2.
STA 5
Richfield 2
Richfield will score the first goal of the game to slow the Cadets down. STA wont score their first until the end of the first period. Richfield will score the second goal in a last ditch desperation effort in the middle of the third period. STA has had difficulty with Richfield the past three years. The games should not be as close as they have been but STA for some reason does not show up to this one as prepared as they should. This year might be different.

richfield has made many changes to their power play and they have made changes on every line...after some embarassing losses these past couple weeks they should come out stronger than predicted...it wont be a blowout...but STA does have much more depth....im basing everything on how well frank plays in the net

And I guess he did coming up with 40+ saves.

Was STA not looking very good? Because I know Hill, Lourdes, and Totino all put up 10 or more goals against Richfield. Didn't really seem like Richfield would be competing in the Classic Surburban but this makes me think twice about them. If they play like that with Guggenberger theres no telling what they might be capable of doing.

Saint Thomas is Overrated
the cadets are way overhyped! They are a good team but not in any way great, they couldnt compete in AA. I was impressed in the beginning of the year but after a blowout to a Hickey-less CDH, a loss to Brainerd and this close game I am not impressed. They need to pull it together.

I wouldn't say that they are overhyped, but they have not been performing as of late. They are a team to be reckoned with, and I am looking forward to a STA vs. HM game, especially after this Richfield game.

The cadets won 3-0. The Pioneers won 11-2. Sure Hill scored way more goals, but they were also scored on more times. The game on Thursday will be huge.
