Both teams fans better squish together because I don't know if there is going to be enough room on the band wagons.

SEVEN IN '07 is the battle cry I'll take the Rams

I'm going with the Halloween Machine. Best fans at the tourney BTW. Love the Stejskal kid. Keep your head up Roseau.

Do they still play the Hamm's theme song?

Roseau may be more offensively skilled but I like Indians as a team defensively. Defense wins championships-- I like Rapids 3-2.

I don't care, I refuse to acknowledge them as the Thunderhawks.

the team with the best band and best player in the state will win in an OT thriller

2-1

In the 2007 Minnesota State Class AA Boy Hockey Championship Game, I'm going to go with...

Roseau - 4
Grand Rapids - 3

I would like to hope that Roseau wins, just so that I can justify Moorhead losing to the state champs. However, as I've said throughout the tournament... beware the Hatrick White show.

This game decided by one goal... 50% chance of OT

This should shape up to be an excellent championship game, i dont see a repeat of the 2006 game happening this time.

Both teams have very skilled players and Grand Rapids has the definite size advantage(that Stejskal kid is absolutely amazing, thunderous hits)

However.......Roseau has such a rich tradition and these kids believe in themselves. I think they are gonna come out flying tomorrow and have rapids on their heels.

The 2007 Class AA State Championship will be........

The Rams of Roseau-2

The Thunderhawks of Grand Rapids-1

Reidar will repeat lackluster performance. He almost let it slip tonight.

Roseau Rams State Champs.

6-2

What a classic all north final!! I think Roseau will do with GR just what they did with Moorhead in the section final. They completely shut down Christian, and this time they'll shut down White. Both are highly skilled individuals, but Roseau is much stronger in the net, much deeper, and playing with so much confidence right now…they have too much finesse and too many weapons for one great player to overcome. Rapids has had a great postseason run, but I predict Roseau will take the birds to the woodshed in this one, 4-0 Rams!!

Would like to see a shut-out but don't think its gonna happen.

After hearing what Jensen did(how do you have the guts to do that, you gave up 3 goals in just over 2 minutes and that first one should of definitely been stopped-zero class on his part) i wouldn't mind seeing him give up 3, 4, or 5 early and putting Howe in net. He deserves it i think

I think that it will go into a Beer drinking contest!! Both teams deserve where they are at. It is going to be one hell of a Hockey game!!!

don't knock the kid for one dumb ignorant thing he did, plenty of these shananigans go on throughout the game. he is too good of a goalie to let something like this bother him

I'm cheering for the Indians

to win 4-2......................

carpenterguy · Post by **carpenterguy** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 8:43 am

I will go with Roseau 4-2. Predicting this tourney has been hard, so who really knows.

Wild4hockey · Post by **Wild4hockey** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 9:32 am

I think this is the matchup a lot of hockey fans wanted to see. Personally I would have satisfied with Roseau playing GR or Edina. GR doesn't appear to have the same amount of depth Roseau has. Both goalies looked rattled late in their games yesterday. I think the team that can get to the opposing goalie first wins the championship.

Roseau beats the representative of Section 7 for their 7th title

3-1 Rams with an EN goal

Rapids wins 3-2 in OT. In one of the classic state championships.

GO RAPIDS!!

That's true, however Jensen let in THREE and gave up the lead, Lee only ONE, and preserved the lead...big difference! I think the breakdown for Roseau was more in their defensive play than goaltending. They gave Century several unbelievable POINT BLANK scoring chances late in the third, but in the end Lee prevailed. I'm quite certain Roseau is well aware that they can't, at ANY point in the game, have a similar breakdown tonight.

If "Runnin Bare" breaks down like he did yesterday Rapids won't have a chance...
