Edina @ Minnetonka... Round 2

[highschoolhockeyfann]

Anyway, I think the shots were close to 36-24 so that would mean that MTKA's sophomore goalie did fairly well, giving up only one goal for every 12 shots.

Yes 12 shots every goal is good but actually Edina had the 36 shots so he did even better giving up a goal every 18 shots.

Does he play his senior goalie, Buonomo, or does he go with the top Sophomore goalie in the state who has not lost all year long?

What about his former Teammate, Alex Fons.

Does experience beat out the "hotter" goalie as of now?

Why I like Krueger over Fons. Fons is a good goalie, but he hasn't seen the competion like Krueger has ALL YEAR LONG.

Krueger Stats:
Overall Record: 12-0
Record vs. Top 20 (A and AA): 8-0
Krueger GAA against top 20: 1.75
Wins over: Duluth Marshall #1A, Rosemount #6AA, Roseville #20AA, EP #16AA, BSM #5AA, AHA #12AA, Hopkins #8AA, and Edina #2AA

Fons Stats:
Fons vs Top 20 is 4-3
Fons GAA vs. Top 20 is 3.00
Wins over Hermantown #10A, Anoka #9AA, Woodbury #18AA and Tonka #3AA.
Losses to Edina #2AA (2x), Tonka #3AA

Of Fons quality wins, Hermantown was early in the season, Anoka and Woodbury were in the SSP Tourney in December and Tonka was early in January. He was unable to post a big win down the stretch.

Does he stop a lot of pucks? The answer is yes, but I don't think Hopkins can take the next step without givng up 2 goals or less in the 6AA playoffs.

My predictions for top 4 seedings in 6AA are:

1 - Tonka
2 - BSM. They need to move out of NSC and play a tougher schedule.
3 - EP. Strength of schedule by playing in Lake Conference gives them #3
4 - Hopkins. Nice season. Big rematch on the horizon with Tonka in semi's.

That is very convincing, and Krueger is a very good goalie with a bright future, but i also think you have to look at other aspects of there games other then the stats, that are harder to compare.
