AA Quarterfinal: Moorhead vs. #2 Duluth East

[East Side Pioneer Guy]

My sentiments about the game may be more similar to Karl's than the rest who've posted comments. This was a boring game. There was very little offense period. Good thing I had some NoDoz. The only goal was very soft. Anyone whining about the two northern schools meeting in the first round have nothing to complain about now. Thank God it wasn't a semi or a final.
I haven't seen a game this uninteresting since last Friday when I saw the Section 4AA final. Moorhead's best scoring chance came two seconds after the final horn sounded.

As for the Hounds, they made it to Friday night. That's the goal every season, because once you've made it to Friday night far anything can happen.

Settle down. I guess our northern public schools just can't put an offensive juggernaut on the ice year after year... like the private cities schools do.

Oh, it was a great display of hockey skills. A tournament classic.

The thing I could never understand was Moorhead had a lot of problems getting SOG (duh!), and when they'd gain the zone from the boards they would pass the puck backwards into coverage time and again. It would seem to me even from an angle that it would be better to get it on goal and crash the net.
