26-15 in favor of Duluth East in the poll on the forum that's heavily biased in East's favor.Slammer wrote:Who do you guys think is favored in this one? Or do you think it's like the East- Elk River game where it's dead even?

Well, the on-line poll at the top of this thread is running nearly 2:1 in favor of East, if that means anything. I suspect that some of that could be attributed to DE's experience at the Tourney. Might also have a few more East fans lurking around this thread.Slammer wrote:Who do you guys think is favored in this one? Or do you think it's like the East- Elk River game where it's dead even?
As for the actual game result....gotta think it's going to be a close one.
Yeah I'm pretty sure the east fans outnumbers Eagan fans 10:1 on this forumalmostashappy wrote:Well, the on-line poll at the top of this thread is running nearly 2:1 in favor of East, if that means anything.

It could go either way, it's kind of a weird matchup. I haven't seen these two play in a long time.
DE could've "easily" won state the last 5 years.

Well, this East fan voted for Elk River in the last poll. Haven't voted in this one yet.almostashappy wrote:Well, the on-line poll at the top of this thread is running nearly 2:1 in favor of East, if that means anything.

I sure wouldn't consider it an upset if East lost. It'll be interesting to see what the breakdown on the Tourney contest is--maybe a little less wishful thinking there, since people want to win--but, then, who knows how many of them have actually seen both teams play.
He hasn't practiced the past few days, I know that. He WILL play at state, according to the coaches and Jack; even though he won't be 100 percent and has a risk of re injuring himself.Traxler wrote:Does anyone know whether Jack Kolar is 100% for this game?
His apparent knee injury at the end of the third period seemed to somewhat heal up during the game as his last overtime shift appeared to include some good skating and even a nice check. But, I wonder if that was just adrenaline.
But being a senior and probably not playing hockey after high school, he has nothing to lose. He will be fine.

Thinking this is about dead even game. Best two defensive pairs in the state except maybe EGF. Each pair is a force to be reckoned with on the ice. In answer to someone's question, I think ( but worth a recheck) that Duluth East has an overall winning record against Edina in all winner bracket games last 50 years. And may be the only team that can say that.

Correct. They're 3-2 against the Hornets in teh winners' bracket (4-3 at State overall). Also 22-20 against Edina all-time (21-18 not counting Edina East/West; 19-10 under Randolph.)WestMetro wrote:Thinking this is about dead even game.

egf's is a team defense, more than a defensemen one.
