Blaine vs. Maple Grove
Maple Grove should have a lot of confidence after their win over Centennial on Thursday. Can they get another big one and take down Blaine?

Lets not forget that this is the Centennial team that thankfully slipped by Coon Rapids 6-5 with a power play goal with 28 seconds left in the 3rd to pull out the victory. So not saying that Maple Grove is not a bad team or one that can be pushed over but this should be a battle and a good game. I am gonna go with Blaine in a one or two goal victory depending on how they come out in the first period.
And it wasn't just the CR game as I have previously stated in a different thread, they have had many close calls all year long against terrible teams. MG snuck by Osseo on Sat. 3-2. They are not suddenly a powerhouse.FormerBlaineBengal01 wrote:Lets not forget that this is the Centennial team that thankfully slipped by Coon Rapids 6-5 with a power play goal with 28 seconds left in the 3rd to pull out the victory.

"Maple Grove's goalie is very good."
Gaetz has a 2.667 GAA. Last game vs. the Bengals he gave up 3 goals on 10 shots and was pulled midway through the second.

Because 7 goals against in 2 games in something spectacular. I'm sure Centennial is real scared of him. Blaine took it to them the first time and they will do it again, too much offense for MG to keep up with. When the Bengals come out full throttle (doesn't happen all that often) the Crimson can't skate with them, bottom line. Blaine knows these last conference games are all big so they will come out fast.hockeyguy99 wrote:When he is on, he is on. You must of caught him on a bad game. Ask Centenial about him and they will tell you.

Um well sorry to burst your bubble but 6-0 is the final. Not sure what all the hype about MG is, they only had one scoring chance and the goalie is average at best. And don't even give me that "well they beat Centennial" crap. Gimme a breakNikeBauer14 wrote:BIGSEXY 6-0 is a little extreme.
Crimson 3 EN
Bengals 1
MG is hot, Blaine is always good, Should be one hell of a game.

Hmmm... So BIGSEXY, it seems to me you are saying that since Holerud only faced one scoring chance from Maple Grove, he has to be the go to guy from here on out!? If Schwartz had played, the score might have been 6 - 1?
I agree with you in that I think Aus or Guider needs to decide on who the top goalie will be come playoff time. Rotating three goalies does not allow any of them to get into much of a game rhythm.

Yea, they are at least down to 2 but you are exactly right.EnigmaticBengal wrote:Hmmm...
