I think tie breakers only apply when there is a tie?
Again, congrats on picking a perfect bracket.

Going OT in Fbo, 3 - 3

LSHSP leading Faribo 3 - 1 after second

I don't think I can recall so many close first round match-ups----usually scores like the Albert Lea game, not OT or 2OT in the play in games.
Pretty much follows the thoughts by most that this section would be close and fun--looking forward to the action tomorrow night.

Reasoning for my guess of Northfield over West is that I expect NP to win the first semifinal on Saturday, and then have West caught looking past their semifinal against Northfield for a rematch with NP. Although given the ups and downs of the teams in 1A during the season, nothing will surprise me ...

Playoff Predictions Round 1 (4) Faribault over (13) Austin 6-2 (5) LSHSPTCU over (12) Winona 3-1 (11) Waseca over (6) Red Wing 2-1 (7) Albert Lea over (10) La Crescent 3-2 (8) Lourdes over (9) East 6-1 Quarters (1) NP over (8) Lourdes 4-2 (2) West over Albert Lea 5-1 (3) Northfield over (11) Waseca ...

I agree with previous comments, I think there are a number of teams that could emerge from 1A, from New Prague and West to Northfield, Albert Lea, Faribault, and Lourdes, and even a shot for East who have really come a ways the last couple years. I don't see anyone being seeded at State. From the te...

Per LPH, Crookston has one May 30-June 1, Thief River Falls has one June 20-22, and Alexandria has two, June 20-22 and July 18-20.

My picks for tomorrow (or as soon thereafter as weather allows):

New Prague 6 - Red Wing 2
Mankato West 9 - LeS/H/StP/TCU 1
Lourdes 2 - Faribault 4
Albert Lea 2 - Northfield 3

My predictions (guesses) for tonight's games:

La Crescent over Red Wing: 6-2
Northfield over Winona: 5-0
Albert Lea over Waseca: 7-1
Faribault over Austin: 3-1
East over Le Sueur 3-2

Looking at four rankings that I know of (MNHockeyRankings, PageStat Rankings, MnHS Hockey Rankings, and QRF Rankings) a composite using all four (just raw rank composites, no scoring/weighting), those rankings through 2/8 (for a couple that is the most recent posted) puts the teams as follows: 1. Ma...

Games tonight, 2/13:

Litchfield/Dassel-Cokato at LSH/SP/TCU
La Crescent at Dodge County
Rochester Century at Mankato West
Chaska at Red Wing
Waseca at Windom Area
Mankato East at Albert Lea
Faribault at Austin
Rochester Lourdes at Blake
Winona at Rochester John Marshall

Yes, I would agree that this loss certainly doesn't clear up the seeding spot for Lourdes--however, it is just one game in a 25-game season. I still see New Prague and West as a clear 1 and 2--while I think West will come out of 1A, I think NP has earned the 1 seed, especially given their road win o...

Games Tonight 2/6:

Shakopee at Red Wing
Albert Lea at Rochester Lourdes
LSH/SP/TCU at Waseca
Rochester Mayo at Austin
Mankato East at Faribault
Holy Angels at Northfield
Winona at Owatonna
Avalanche HS Hockey at La Crescent

Yes, there has certainly been some interesting seeding games played in this section in the past.... I agree with a couple others that, unless they are worried about a semi-final matchup, it really doesn't make a lot of difference whether NP is 1 or 2, as I see MW as having too much offense to where ...

Rochester John Marshall at Faribault
Albert Lea at Owatonna

Following is where I would rank the 1A teams for now: 1. New Prague 2. Mankato West 3. Lourdes 4. Albert Lea 5. Northfield 6. Faribault 7. Le Sueur/Henderson/St. Peter 8. Red Wing 9. La Crescent 10. Austin 11. Mankato East 12. Winona 13. Waseca It's nice there are several games left between the top ...

Games for 1/13 & 1/14

1/13
Eau Claire Memorial at Lourdes

1/14
Rochester Century at Albert Lea
New Prague at Red Wing
Mankato East at Fairmont
Owatonna at Faribault
New Ulm at LSH/SP/TCU
Chanhassen at Northfield
Austin at Rochester JM
West Salem at La Crescent

From what I have seen thus far, West and NP are clear of the field, and either could be the first seed. I would still give the nod to West as my favorite in 1A due to their ability to put the puck in the net. Regarding Lourdes, I believe they will get a 3 or 4 seed in the end, in part due to their h...
