My woes in predicting Bemidji are well documeted here.
Here's three scenarios why:
Case 1
Fergus 4, Alexandria 3
Bemidji 8, Fergus 1
Therefore you'd think...well,you'd be wrong
Alexandria 4, Bemidji 1
Case 2
Bemidji 2, TRF 0
TRF 4, Moorhead 2
Therefore.......you'd be wrong again.
Moorhead 6, Bemidji 2 (twice)
Case 3
Bemidji 2, TRF 0
TRF 4, EGF 2
Therefore.......you'd be wrong yet again.
EGF 5, Bemidji 2
Conclusion
Stop using conventional wisdom to predict their results and start flipping a coin.

At least they have a lot higher of a chance to come out of 8A than PR! Just ask TT(thanks for the trailer), DD(yes, that's you Dickie), Elliott(too old to know better), SB(king of all BS), Shanty(tried to hate, but now has to appreciate) and every other underestimator on this "bored"...schwang17 wrote:HeyIrishmans Shanty wrote:My woes in predicting Bemidji are well documeted here.

I don't see ANYWHERE where Dickie Dunn said Bemidji would get out of Section 8A before PR this season.schwang17 wrote:Hey
In fact, UHL hasn't said anything of the kind either...I believe on page 1 of this thread I said: 
...Warroad's Section again this year ...If they get any type of goaltending what so ever they shouldn't lose a section 8A match-up. 
and "It may all come down to Tim's talent behind the bench in his place. 
" and Whiz and the boys don't have the depth to get it done. So..don't tell me what YOU thought I or anyone said.... Hockey Moms are Hottest!!!

Why all the bickering? I think we should just congratulate both PR and Warroad for now and hope for a PR/Warroad final so that it can be solved once and for all. Instead you guys act like you are all married, bickering like a large married group...
PR - Warroad final???
No, no no...
We are hoping for Bemdiji - Thief River Falls.
But would be pleased if it were Hallock & Bagley.
But we know it will be
Warroad & East Grand Forks.
Or for Shanty
Crookston & Red Lake Falls.....
But then LOW could come from no where and
play.... used em all up... bring back DL.....
But the south may rise again....
Walker & PR?????????
No, no no...

SB24 wrote:elliott do you really think Pr would have a chance to beat warroad?
only asking you because i think u can give a honest answer
Yes, I do think they have a chance.
Straight up, Warroad is the better team.
Warroad has strong D and more than one froward that can challenge Lehrke.
Goalies, PR's tender is not as good of a skater I would like to have in the nets, but he is aggressive, unfortunately for PR, Warroad has more snipers than say, TRF.
PR gets everything out of the first two lines...
Can't remember the second forward on the second line, but Knapp and Winkler go very hard, hit hard and attack the net. Of course, their first line can score. As of right now, the third line is non-existent. On D without McMorrow, they have two guys that play okay, no mistakes, and Tolle is very effective. Strong on his skates, does what he can, but stays within his abilities. McMorrow has speed and can skate with the puck. How effective he will be coming off pneumonia will be critcial for PR.
Warroad counters with two lines of strong forwards and a third that would score again and again on PR's 3rd line.
D is tough. Question mark is still in the nets, although they have got good games from him.
But PR's second game will give them a test and then coming back two nights later will prove too much for them, I believe.
EGF or Bemidji will give them a good contest in the semis. TRF on their rink with a bit of revenge in mind, will also.
I think it will be EGF and Warroad in the finals. IF Chupka can keep the green boys' heads on straight.
Bemidji is too up and down to predict.
TRF is capable of winning.
PR - success breeds success. Could be someone new at the X this year.
My picks
1. Warroad - clear favorite
2. EGF - have the players and goalie to get there.
3. PR - bunch of hungry boys led by a kid with lots of talent.
4. Bemidji - young guys need to provide more, old guys need to provide more scoring less foolishness, a goalie needs to prove himself.
5. TRF - on any given day.
The rest - no chance for 3 upsets (or more).
But I would love to see Bagely win a game - just for the 5th best umpire I know.
If Walker has not won by then, I would hope they would win one, also.
Bottom line, Warroad is the one.
