BSM is ranked in the top 5 in most rankings and the Spuds are riding an 8-game winning streak. On paper this looks like a win for BSM, but this season has been so unpredictable, just about anything can happen. It should be a good game.

Who will win this game and why?

If the spuds can keep it close (in other words if bitzer can keep them in this one) until the third i think i they can take pull it off. In reality:
BSM-3
Spuds-1

As much as I want the Spuds to win..... BSM 4-3

On paper Benilde has the better talent, but I'm afraid "bus legs" could be a factor, especially on a school day. I'll still go with the Red Knights in this one, but it will be close - probably a one goal game like 4-3 or 5-4.

Forgot to explain myself,

Moorhead is at home...

BSM just played tonight... and BSM has to make the 4 hour drive up to the flattest piece of land in the world. (their rest could be a factor).

It's close but the flattest piece of land would actually be on the west side of the Red River. As I've heard Spudnut say on many occasions about North Dakota, "It's not the end of the world, but you can see it from there."

"Bus Legs"? Give me a break, these guys are young bucks who are in great shape. This is a big game for Benilde since the spuds beat Wayzata twice so section seeding is a factor here. Benilde has been scoring in droves lately but also giving up too many goals in big games. Pauly will have Benilde ready for this one.
Benilde 6 Moorhead 4

I will take Benilde in this one 5-3. Moorehead is a scrappy team with great goeltending but cannot match Benilde's team speed and skill. This game is far more important to Benilde since Wayzata has already lost twice to Moorehead. If Benilde stays out of the box they may even win by a wider margin but if they have a 2nd period lapse, like what has happened in a few big games this year, they will be involved in a tight game to the finish.

I don't know much of anything about Moorhead outside of tremendous goaltending ... so being the hockey snob I am, I'll take the metro private school.

BSM 3
MH 1

It's "M-o-o-r-h-e-a-d", maybe you oughta stick to "B-r-e-c-k" - that's simpler . . .

I'll be honest a four hour drive probably isn't that bad. I've driven longer for sports and felt fine.

CitiesSpudsGuy · Post by **CitiesSpudsGuy** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 7:34 pm

Spuds defense should be thoroughly tested tonight against BSM's high-octane offense. We'll see if they can shut 'em down.

GAME ON!

CitiesSpudsGuy · Post by **CitiesSpudsGuy** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 7:37 pm

1-0 for Benilde just a few minutes in. Goal by Jake O'Borsky.

CitiesSpudsGuy · Post by **CitiesSpudsGuy** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 7:46 pm

2-0 now.... Jake Horton with the goal for BSM. Spuds' defense isn't passing the test so far.

CitiesSpudsGuy · Post by **CitiesSpudsGuy** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 7:50 pm

Penalty shot for the Spuds... Eric Brenk takes the shot and it's blocked. Still 2-0 for Benilde.

CitiesSpudsGuy · Post by **CitiesSpudsGuy** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 7:59 pm

3-0 now. Jake Horton on the power play with his 2nd of the game late in the 1st period.

End of the 1st period. Shots were 14-6.

If Benilde is suffering from "bus legs" as someone mentioned before, I'd hate to see what the score would be if they didn't have "bus legs".

Spuds need to get physical and slow Benilde down, in my opinion.

CitiesSpudsGuy · Post by **CitiesSpudsGuy** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 8:24 pm

Christian Horn makes it 4-0 early in the 2nd. It's getting ugly fast.

CitiesSpudsGuy · Post by **CitiesSpudsGuy** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 8:35 pm

Spuds with a power play goal by Eric Brenk.... 4-1 now.

End of the 2nd.

CitiesSpudsGuy · Post by **CitiesSpudsGuy** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 9:28 pm

Benilde - 6
Moorhead - 1

FINAL

BSM showed why they're a top 5 team.
