While I'd certainly love to see this go into running time, I think anyone who knows this rivalry will agree with me that it's impossible. East may be more talented, but that really means very little in this game.
East needs to come out with the same strategy as the last game...control the flow of play and hit Jokinen early and often. If they can shut him down, they've essentially shut down the Lumberjack offense. If they shore up their passing, it's East's game to lose. I'll go with 3-1 Greyhounds. But I know this rivalry well enough now to know that almost anything can happen.

Are all 2354 of your posts this irrelevant?PASTRAPIDSFAN wrote:It will be running timeLumberjack wrote:I am pretty sure a homocide will not be part of this game.

So then you're saying that it was a fluke that they beat clouqet in the final, or luck they beat edina the #1 seed in the quarters. How about Bursnville in the semis. Then they lost to the best team this state has seen in ten years. I wouldn't call that a fluke or luck. I call it better than the hounds.Duluth 4 wrote:3 wordseast hockey wrote:Fluke.INDIAN° wrote: Did last year never happen around this time???![]()

It will be pretty full, but probably not a sellout. The game starts at 10 AM not 11. Game two of the semis starts are 12, the UMD women play at 3:45, and the UMD men cap off the hockey filled day at the DECC with the 7:37 finale.brokenbat22 wrote:is this game going to sellout? and it's a 11am start correct...thinking of making the trek from central mn
To contribute further to the thread I'll take East in convincing fashion 4-1.

Best team this state has seen in ten years?? That's more than a bit of a stretch. That's the kind of stretch which would put most people in traction.toivo22 wrote:So then you're saying that it was a fluke that they beat clouqet in the final, or luck they beat edina the #1 seed in the quarters.
