Looks like all the controversy with how good the Elks are can continue: Elks 4 Blaine 1

Can anyone provide any insight into the ER-Blaine game. Is the score indicative of the way the game went. I've seen Blaine play and any team that beats them 4-1 has to be good.

Play was even when 5 on 5, but Blaine spent a lot of the game shorthanded. ER moves and controls the puck very well.

Edina white is very well balanced, it seems to me there is no all-star forward or defense but there is some very skilled players, #21, #9 and #17 stood out the most in my mind out on the ice during the duluth tournament. Any thoughts?

Edina White vs Ep Red

Edina Green vs Ep Black

rbkhockeyman2070 · Post by **rbkhockeyman2070** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 7:12 pm

Red beets white in a upset (4-2)

and Green beets black (5-4)

Any more predictions?
and when are the game?

Hockeyman1606 · Post by **Hockeyman1606** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 7:21 pm

I believe Ep Red vs white is in Ep at 2:30 and Black vs green is right after.

Correct me if im Wrong.

EagleGuy91 · Post by **EagleGuy91** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 10:20 pm

Sorry, but I must correct you . . .

Red vs White is at 2:30p followed by EP Bantam A vs AV, then
it's Black vs Green at 5:45p . . . not right after.

Big day of hockey at the EPCC.

EP red vs. ER scrimage is set for Jan 13th. This looks like a good contest. Please post how the Edina vs. EP games go today.

Edina White Lost to EP Red 3-2. Edina only had 10 skaters for this one so it will be fun to see them when they are back at full strength.

Hockeyman1606 · Post by **Hockeyman1606** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 4:45 pm

Neither of theese teams seemed to have There A game on...should be fun to watch next time they play, and when Edina is at full strenghth

rbkhockeyman2070 · Post by **rbkhockeyman2070** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 7:33 pm

Edina was beeting Eden Prairie 2-1, but the eagles came back with two nice goal to win the game. I thought it was a even match and it would be a good game next time they play each other.

EagleGuy91 · Post by **EagleGuy91** » Sat Dec 23, 2006 8:34 pm

Black beat Green 2-1

ShootPassScore · Post by **ShootPassScore** » Tue Dec 26, 2006 9:39 am

Watch out now for Black. Two big wins in a row. You know EagleGuy has got them ready for a huge playoff push. Sometimes the teams that go through tough spells together are the ones that are the most dangerous in Feb. (See Chaska 05-06).

Alright here we go with holiday tournament speculation.

Edina Invitational

Pool A
Edina Green
Centennial
White Bear Lake Black
Grand Rapids

Gotta go with Centennial here. They recently beat Green in a scrimmage and I think we all knew they were due to start playing better this may be the pivotal weekend. GR has not played anyone so the wake up call maybe violent.

Pool B
Edina White
Stillwater
Duluth East
Blake

I believe goaltending will be the difference here. White has it, Blake does not. White may be healthier than a brutal last week. I say Edina White walks out with the win here. Stillwater is in a down year and East is not usual power house from the north.

Pool C
Eden Prairie Red
Wayzata Blue
Eagan
Rochester Red

EP Red and Wayzata Blue play on Thurs. afternoon, this may be the best game of the pool play if not the tournament. Blue is playing well right now. They've only allowed three goals once in the last 8 games and have had four shutouts. (not against great teams but confidence is there) EP Red is my #1 team in the state. I believe Blue will win the pool and Red will get the wildcard. The Blue-Red game will be very good 1 goal game for sure.

Semifinals
#1 Edina White
WC EP Red

EP Red decisively

#2 Wayzata Blue
#3 Centennial Red

Blue decisively

Red gets revenge on Blue in the championship.
White takes home 3rd.

I'm working on the Midwest Regional hold on.

Eden Prairie Red 1st in state? I havent seen them much...against Edina white they didnt seem to move the puck very well, and it didnt look like they were ready to play, hope next time I come to watch they bring there game.

ShootPassScore · Post by **ShootPassScore** » Tue Dec 26, 2006 11:00 am

Who is your unbiased #1 then?

Hockeyman1606 · Post by **Hockeyman1606** » Tue Dec 26, 2006 11:30 am

Blaine

ushoot2score · Post by **ushoot2score** » Tue Dec 26, 2006 11:41 am

Please explain your unbiased Blaine pick as #1? Recently they've lost to both ER and Centiennal.

Hockeyman1606 · Post by **Hockeyman1606** » Tue Dec 26, 2006 11:56 am

Blaine Dominated Eden Prairie, outshooting them 3-1, Eden Prairie is a good hockey team as well as both Edinas, Both WBL's, Elk River and Centenial, and there are others, although at this age anything can happen.

DAbears25 · Post by **DAbears25** » Tue Dec 26, 2006 12:28 pm

does anyone know how WBL black is doing? how are they comparing to the other good teams?

ice00breaker · Post by **ice00breaker** » Tue Dec 26, 2006 7:31 pm

I dont know about Red not moving the puck well...from what I have seen they showed me that they could be #1 in state at puck movement

tomASS · Post by **tomASS** » Tue Dec 26, 2006 8:36 pm

Midwest Regional Tourney Scores:

Blaine 2
Wayzata Gold 0

Thought Blaine carried most of the play when I was paying attention.

Chaska 2
E.P Black 0

Fun game to watch that either team could have won. The rematches should be equally as fun to watch. Black is a well coached team.
