After last weekend I don't know how close of a game it will be. Maybe if it is cold and a little snow falling Baudette can stay close or sneak one out.
Over the years Baudette has produced many D1 & Pro hockey players. These individuals all put in huge amounts of icetime including out in the great outdoors. Pure and simple, extra icetime makes hockey players. The northwoods boy's will drive the "MOOSE" out of the woods and take this one 3-2.
I like the idea of a game played outdoors. It's old-school. I have to believe the boys from up north will be better acclimated to the ice conditions and the cold weather.
I've gotta think the Govs are going to pound them, they were dominant on Saturday, and if conditions dictate a slower game outdoors, that would bode well for them as well since they don't have great speed anyway.
After watching the game last week, the LOW coach seemed to be a major reason why the score got out of control. With playing only 2 lines and 2 sets of D, Johnson seemed to wear them down. With at least a dozen JV kids sitting in the stands, maybe on the bay he could use some of these kids for at least one period to add depth and give the top lines a break.[/quote]
I predict a very cold game; a couple shattered pucks, a few more kids out with hypothermia, and TV timeouts to get the snowfall shoveled off the ice. Other than that.. LOW takes it in a...well not barn burner (hence no barn) but a close one. 4-3
