No, but golf season is right around the corner.

Maybe Goalzilla is on to something. Put your picks in twice and you get twice the points!

[nmnhockeydad]

Many of these games are ones that could go either way.

Hey, that was my excuse LAST week!

I'll try this again. So we are not going for low points this time?

No, but golf season is right around the corner.

I know I can blame other things on my lack of success picking games...just like my golf game. BTW, aren't we a confident bunch!

[MNHockeyFan]

All entries are in and, counting just one for goalzilla , we have an even dozen participating in this week's contest.

The voting for tonight's game, WBL vs. Roseville, is pretty lopsided at 10-2 Roseville. Joehockey and hockeyheaven could get a big jump on the rest of us if WBL can pull the upset.

[MNHockeyFan]

Monday's score: White Bear Lake 2, Roseville 5

10 out of 12 pick up a point. Several just missed on the score, but nobody guessed 5-2.

Tomorrow night we have:
South St. Paul (8A) vs. Hill Murray (4AA)
Edina (5AA) vs. Minnetonka (6AA)

All 12 prognosticators unanimously pick HM over SSP, while the Edina-Minnetonka clash is pretty evenly split, with 7 of 12 saying Edina.

[hockeyrube7]

I'll try this again. So we are not going for low points this time?

No, but golf season is right around the corner.

So golf is for LOW scores, I've got that one wrong too.

[MNHockeyFan]

Tuesday's results:

South St. Paul 0. Hill Murray 6
Edina 2, Minnetonka 2 OT

Everybody got the Hill Murray win correct, but nobody guessed the 6-0 score - one point for all. But nobody forecasted that Edina and Minnetonka would tie, so everybody gets a zero for that game. Very unusual and it leaves us with everyone within a point of each other going into Thursday's games:

Roseau (4A) vs. Bemidji (12AA) [contestants favor Roseau by 10-2 margin]
Minnetonka (6AA) vs. Blake (1A) [Blake favored by 8-4]
Proctor/Hermantown/Duluth Marshall (9AA) vs. Cloquet/Esko/Carlton (18AA) [P/H/DM slightly 6-4-2]
Edina (5AA) vs. Hopkins (2AA) [Edina by 7-5]

Standings should look a lot different after Thursday night's results are in.

[MNHockeyFan]

A combination of two ties and two hard-to-predict scores have led to a low scoring week for our contestants. Last night things broke open a little bit with DmanDad1980 predicting the Roseau-Bemidji score to take the lead by two. This is the only correct score picked this week so far.

Thursday's scores:
Roseau 4, Bemidji 2
Minnetonka 4, Blake 5
Proctor/Hermantown/Duluth Marshall 7, Cloquet/Esko/Carlton 2
Edina 2, Hopkins 2 OT

Point totals through Thursday:
1. DmanDad1980 - 7 points
2. MNHockeyFan - 5
2. nothernguy - 5
4. hockeyheaven - 4
4. Knight7 - 4
4. nmnhockeydad - 4
4. OntheEdge - 4
4. Joethehockeydad - 4
4. hockeyrube7 - 4
10-12. Three tied with 3 each

I am expecting with a few correct scores the big logjam around 3-5 points will break after tonight's scores are in:

Bemidji (12AA) vs. Cloquet/Esko/Carlton (18AA)
Benilde-St. Margaret's (19AA) vs. Irondale (15AA)
North Wright County (17AA) vs. Mound-Westonka (6A)
Stillwater (3AA) vs. Roseville (1AA)

[MNHockeyFan]

What would have been the odds going in that all four games Friday night would end up 2-1?

Bemidji 1, Cloquet/Esko/Carlton 2
Benilde-St. Margaret's 1, Irondale 2
North Wright County 1, Mound-Westonka 2
Stillwater 1, Roseville 2

Three of us (not me) guessed one of the game's scores correctly:
Bemidji vs. Cloquet game - Bensonmum
BSM vs. Irondale - joehockey and hockeyrube7

So after 11 games played, this leaves us with a tie for first going into Saturday:
1. hockeyrube7 - 10 points (8 of 11 + 2 bonus points)
1. DmanDad1980 - 10 points (8 of 11 + 2 bonus points)
3. nothernguy - 8 (8 of 11)
3. Bensonmum - 8 (6 of 11 + 2 bonus points)
5. hockeyheaven - 7 (5 of 11 + 2 bonus points)
6. MNHockeyFan - 6
6. joehockey - 6
6. Joethehockeydad - 6
9. Knight7 -5
9. OntheEdge - 5
9. goalzilla - 5
12. nmnhockeydad - 4

[love2puck]

[quote="Knight7"]

Irondale 2/ BSM 4


Congratulations Knight7 for voting against your own team to win.

It's amazing that a parents/staff of Irondale would have such little faith in their team.

Congratulations to the Irondale Girls Hockey Team who are now Conference Champs!

[MNHockeyFan]

Here are the updated point totals with the Centennial-Maple Grove game included. Although several came very close, nobody picked the 4-3 final score:

1. hockeyrube7 - 12 points
1. DmanDad1980 - 12 points
3. nothernguy - 11 points
4. hockeyheaven - 9
4. Bensonmum - 9
6. Knight7 - 8
6. joehockey - 8
6. Joethehockeydad - 8
9-10. Two tied with 7
11-12. Two tied with 6

So this Final Games contest comes down to hockeyrube7 and DmanDad1980 Tuesday night. hockeyrube7 says 5-1 Hill Murray; DmanDad1980 predicts 4-1. Behind by just one, nothernguy would ordinarily have a chance but he also picked a 4-1 score so he cannot overtake DmanDad1980 but would be this week's runnerup if ends up 4-1.

With Sections starting next week, maybe we can start a pool once they get down to the semi's(?).
