Grand Rapids/Greenway vs. Hopkins
Who wins?
Hopkins? GRG?
Predict Hopkins ekes this one out by maybe one goal, should be a low-scording defensive affair.......Hopkins 2-1
Re: Hopkins? GRG?
Having seen GRG play Breck tonight, I still say Hopkins wins the next match tomorrow. But now I think it might be more like 4-2 Hopkins. Hopkins is overall a better team than Breck, IMHO. Expect another good game though! Glad GRG came down for the weekend, they picked a couple of good opponents to strengthen them for sectionstrilogy wrote:Predict Hopkins ekes this one out by maybe one goal, should be a low-scording defensive affair.......Hopkins 2-1

Grand Rapids/Greenway 5
Hopkins 5
In overtime...
For GRG:
Newton (Horgen, Gallop) PP
Gallop (Erickson)
Clafton (Bialon)
Clafton (Horgen)
Clafton
Clafton with the Natural Hatty. Lightning went up 1-0. Trailed 3-1. Then made it 3-2. Then it was 4-3. Then 5-3. Lighning got two to tie. Clafton's third was with 22 second left to tie it. I should have stayed with my initial pick which was 5-5 overtime tie. Too bad I changed it.
NEVERMIND:
LIGHTNING WIN 6-5 IN OT
Bialon from Arola for the winner. Lightning outshoot Hopkins 35-33.
GRG 6
Hopkins 5 OT
That is a final.

Grand Rapids/Greenway JV beats Hopkins JV 4-0. I believe if they win their last game they will go 20-5 this season. The Varsity team now stands at 17-7.

Too bad the JV's don't get some kind of post season action. Not just GRG but all JV teams. I knows our's ends up at another local team's tournament, which I guess is a lot better than playing your last regular season game and then that's it.boblee wrote:Grand Rapids/Greenway JV beats Hopkins JV 4-1.

P.S. Congrats to the GRG varisty on their fine weekend play against some good Twin Cities competition. I've never seen them play but just had a feeling that they would not win both of these games. They must be very good and now favored to win the section and go to State?
Edit: I just checked the game stats and see that Hopkins's normal first string goalie did not play. When I saw the score I was surprised that GRG was able to get 6 goals against them, and maybe that explains some of it.

I'd have called it differently had I known Hopkins wasn't playing their lead goalie 'cause that's the only one I've seen, haven't seen the other. Sounds like it was an exciting matchupMNHockeyFan wrote:
