Edina v. Jefferson - 2AA Final

[espnmobile8]

Who will win?

Edina had an insane amount of shots on net in the Semifinals, 52, but could only bury 3. If they get 52 shots on net against the Jags...it's over.

Although followthepuck says Jefferson had 33 shots and Burnsville had 44, I'm lead to believe that they accidently switched these stats because for anyone who watched the game, it was obvious Jefferson had the most shots and the scoreboard showed these same numbers but for the opposite team.

Both teams must have confidence going into the final, but I'd say Jefferson has a little more momentum considering the way they won (OT) and the monkey-on-their-back type of team that Burnsville presented. However, Edina did beat a very good AHA team (they're still good even without those dopes) so we'll have to see. I'm liking the re-match from last year, should be a great atmosphere.

Non factor, you are unaware of the truth and it does not concern you or me.

Edina is still on a mission since failing the last two years. Last year with Budish they dominate. This year they beat Jefferson by 3 and the place empties out early in the third period.
I have seen Jefferson now and I do not feel they have what it takes to stop Edina. I would rather see Edina lose, but don't think Jefferson would be that team.

I just don't think Jefferson has the power or goaltending. Edina 5-3

Have fun parking and getting tickets for anyone looking to just show up for this one. It's right after EP vs. Mtka so you might have to watch both just to see this one. Not that that's a bad thing, however.

It'll be a great night, but you should definitely plan on going to both...

Metro folks to a large degree do not "suffer" sitting through a game ("its only EP vs Tonka" mindset at play) in order to get to "their" game. I expect you are correct in fans showing up 15-30 minutes before game time looking for parking and tickets. None of our fine hockey rube faithful board members fall into this category.

Last year when it was at Mariucci. Pre-game lines to get into the building were out to the street.

but this is not Mariucci.

My suggestion is to take the light rail and park in a park-n-ride. Cheaper and easier.
I was planning on being down there by 5 at the latest.

[canttouchthis]

I think jefferson has a very good chance in this game. I was not impressed with the game against edina and aha. Thought it would contain more skill and flow but it wasnt. Edina has to play in your face hockey and get pucks to the net and crash to win. Jefferson needs to play an up tempo game and not let edina physical play frustrate them to win. If this game was at mariucci i think jefferson would win hands down with their speed and skill. I am assuming target center will be NHL size ice. Think it will be a great game and jefferson will come out on top 5-3 empty netter.

CTT:

What game were you at?

This is playoff hockey my friend. Coaches are prepared for the set-plays, breakouts, etc. Games this time of seasonare won around the net in a low-scoring style...

That sounds like a good idea. I thought you said you wouldn't be going to the final though?

You're post could not be more confusing.

1) I can say whatever I want about the cool kids club that made poor decisions.
2) "Last year with Budish they dominate." - Doesn't make sense grammatically at all.
3) "This year they beat Jefferson by 3 and the place empties out early in the third period." - Again...doesn't make sense grammatically, so I don't know what you're saying. Are you predicting the upcoming game or are you referring to a previous one? Because they have not played this year.

1. say what you want, it's fine
2. you're on here corrected grammar?! "they dominated".... that better
3. He's saying they will win by 3. Maybe not grammatically correct, but it's how people speak. Learn to read before you're so rude.

Zamman, I disagree. For the second year in a row, Burnsville and Jefferson got ranked why to high by people who hadn't played Holy Angels. This will get exposed and Edina will win by more. Jefferson is overrated for the second year in a row.

[deanertronterry]

I could really see this game going either way. I think whoever gets off to the best start will win. I see the Jags coming out inspired to avenge the slaughter from last year. They need their big players to play big.

Jags 4
Edina 2

Herbert 2 goals, assist

[theoneandonly1]

The key factor in this game for the Jags is going to be the goalie, Woodley. He has looked good so far in the playoffs but this will be the true test. I have to go with Jefferson in a squeaker 3-2 in overtime.

Now I will edit my own post just for you:

You do not know what happened with players from AHA, otherwise you would have posted exactly what happened.

Last year if Budish was playing, Edina would have dominated the field and walked home with the big prize.

This year Edina will dominate Jefferson and will be up by three goals and the people will be leaving the Target Center early, because of the lead and because it will have been a long night of hockey.

Now do I get an A for my english paper?

I'd give it an A-. Although technically you were sound, the creativity was lacking this time.

Whoa, it's pretty bold of you to say Edina will dominate Jefferson, considering Jefferson is coming off a huge win vs. what was the hottest team with the hottest goalie in either A or AA. Maybe you're bitter because Edina took out AHA? And no, you don't get an A on your English paper. The last sentence was terribly formed.

As far as the game goes, I don't see Jefferson giving up 50+ shots to Edina the way AHA did. Their D is much stronger, and as of late Jefferson has been outshooting their opponents by pretty large margins (Shots for the Burnsville game should be flipped). I think Jefferson is a better team with more talent than AHA, but goaltending is always a question with them. If Woodley plays the way he did vs. Burnsville, I see Jefferson winning 4-3. If Woodley doesn't play well, or if Jefferson gets into penalty trouble, I see Edina winning by the same score.

You also have some errors in your post but I'll let it slide. I didn't think it was rude of me to point out that because of his grammatical errors I couldn't understand a single point he made. I wanted Zamman to re-post it in English so I could respond.

[canttouchthis]

Zammon what did you get cut from the jefferson program and head over to holy angels and sit on the bench. You are a little harsh on jefferson. Your entitled to your opinion but calling jefferson overrated is a bit much. They have lost some games you would expect them to win but what team hasnt this year. They arnt exactly playing farmington and prior lake every week.

You will have to forgive me. I do not see where I called them overrated...I did a search on the page and only found two references to overrated and neither was mine.

I never was cut by Jefferson, I have no ties to Jefferson nor will I ever. I was raised in South Mpls and attended and played at Holy Angels and my kids graduated and attend Richfield schools.
I have seen both teams play and feel that Edina would win. I would prefer to have Jefferson beat Edina, because I too am tired of them. But the reality is I feel they are the better team. That is my opinion.

Oh the topic of their conference is way down on the list in the forums.

[gitter]

The problem I see with Jefferson, is they are very Jekyll & Hyde. I've seen them play twice this year and two things stick out to me - scoring and goaltending. They generate a lot of scoring opportunities, but so many times they fail to put a good shot on net from the opportunity. Their goaltending is the Achilles heel...he let in some extremely weak goals, but has then made some outstanding saves at the same time.

They've proven they can beat good teams (in Wayzata and Centennial), but have lost to some poor teams.

Edina on the other hand has been remarkably consistent (aside from the Minnetonka debacle) and has played the tough teams close.

In the end, a lot depends on which Jefferson squad shows up...the one thing for sure - if Jefferson is to have any chance, the goaltender needs to play well and consistent for the entire game.

In the end....I will take Edina to win by 2.

[speedskater]

Jefferson goes about 7 players deep and has potential goal tending problems. Edina will win this 4 - 2.

[canttouchthis]

7 players deep???...think you can say that for most high school teams. In high school hockey you need 2 lines that can play and 4 D. Not all of these players need to be studs, just need hockey sense.

[starmvp]

If you want to win a championship, you need a solid third line providing rest for the top two lines.
