Why FL over CDH?

Why FL over CDH?

I would think this should be a very even game. Have not seen FL and CDH just once (Schwan's) when they weren't playing very well.

I know that CDH beat FL earlier, but I'm just going by KRACH on this one.

I'd agree with FL over CDH, if for no other reason than the teams CDH played during their 6-game winless streak are closer in talent to FL than the teams they've played during their current winning streak.
And let me throw an upset out there: Farmington over AHA with a little home cookin'.

I'm going with Eagan tonight.

Good luck!

Edina vs. Hopkins @ Minnetonka Arena

FINAL SCORE Edina 4 Hopkins 2

Edina 1 1 2 = 4
Hopkins 1 1 0 = 2

Final is score correct, score by period may be incorrect. Hopkins goalie was hot - shots were about 40 to 20.

Hopkins scored in the first minute of the game. Edina's 4th goal was scored in the last minute, so it was exciting from start to finish.

There was a TV cameraman there, Channel 5 logo seen, maybe there will be footage tonight or Friday night on Prep Sports Extra.

Farmington over AHA with a little home cookin'.

Bensonmum called it Farmington 3 AHA 2 OT with a LOT of home cookin'

Didn't see the game - (not an Eagan fan XK - just a terrible prognosticator) but Maxpreps says EP got another 1 goal win (their 6th) over Eagan. Good thing I covered the spread.

Puck can't bounce their way every night - even when they get outshot - can it?

Maxpreps says EP got another 1 goal win (their 6th) over Eagan.

Channel 5 news tonight reported that EP pulled it out with just a few seconds to go. They seem to have a knack of winning the close ones.

Some of the better AA matchups tonight and my predictions:

Edina vs. Hopkins (3-2)
Wayzata vs. Burnsville (4-3)
Holy Angels vs. Farmington (5-1)
Eagan vs. Eden Prairie (2-5)
Forest Lake vs. Cretin Derham Hall (4-2)
Elk River vs. Centennial (3-5)

Predicting the outcomes of these games can be a tricky business!

Edina vs. Hopkins (4-2) [pretty good call here - Edina is tough to score against]

Wayzata vs. Burnsville (3-3) [Wayzata's starting goalie got pulled in 1st, Wayzata outshoots them 33-23, but Burnsville hangs in there for the tie]

Holy Angels vs. Farmington (2-3) [Ooops, biggest upset of the night, shots were closer than expected also]

Eagan vs. Eden Prairie (1-2) [A low scoring affair - Eagan must have played very well - shots were closer than expected also]

Forest Lake vs. Cretin Derham Hall (0-3) [Totally off base on this one, CDH even outshoots FL by 2-1 margin]

Elk River vs. Centennial (0-2) [Another low scoring game, Centennial appears to have made steady improvement this year]

The margins of victory were just 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, and 0 so a lot of people got to see some very competitive and entertaining matchups.
