I think this one could be anyones game. I have watched both teams over the season and they have both played very well. Both teams deserve to go to the championship game. I agree with you view hopefully tonight will be a more interesting game.

Very entertaining period. Blaine did a good job of slowing EP down, but I feel that this game is going to end 5-4. Good scoring chances coming from both team.

EP looked much better in the 2nd, and cuts the Blaine lead in half.

Blaine 2, EP 1, end of 2.

The good news for EP fans is Leddy's making his presence felt on the boards. That passing of his is something else too. On the camera side he went back to retrieve the puck while three Blaine's were chasing after him and in one swoop whips the puck over to the other side and hits his mates stick while he's burning.

EP coming on and starting to dominate play. And they get the equalizer. Now 2-2, Rau with the goal, 9:37 left in the 3rd.

Nice comeback by the Eagles. All that's needed is Moorhead to win and we'll have a first-time state champion guaranteed in Class AA.

And Moorhead/Cretin are gonna 'need it' should the Eagles ever decide to put three strong periods together.

Brian Tracy, motivational speaker encouraged a group to say something when they made a mistake.

Try it with me Lee, "I made a mistake and I often do".

Sleep well.

Well. Let's see...

1. Moorhead won.

2. Neither Moorhead nor Eden Prairie has won a state championship at the high school level.

3. They play each other tonight for the title.

4. We'll have a "first-time state champion"

Looks about right to me.

Oh, I slept great.

Wow, really unfortunate game that got away for the Bengals. Obviously played a great 1st period and then they appeared to tighten up and try to sit on that lead. Obviously that 2nd goal was really unfortunate but that's how it goes sometimes. Oh well, the way things have been going we will be here again next year!

The 2 goal lead is the hardest to protect in high school hockey.

Was it just me or did it look like Dave Aus used the 1st and 2nd line WAY too much tonight. They looked so worn out on the ice. To win hockey games like this you need to trust your 3rd line. Guys like Kovalchuck and Brovold will grind it out for you as long as you get them in there.
