HM 2, MG 2 (tied in middle of second period but delayed after glass breaks)

HM started the scoring on a 4-3 power play in the first period. In the second period, HM scored again when a shot deflected off of a MG stick. MG returned the favor with a deflected goal off another stick. Then MG's Kyle Kukkonen had a nice assist on Cam Thomas' goal to tie the score 2-2. Then a HM player flipped 180 degrees and his skate broke the glass at mid-ice, delaying the game.

On a side note, CCX Media (cable TV operator for NW metro) does a great job covering HS sports in its region, complete with professional production. Not sure how many cameras they have covering the HM-MG event, but the number of replays they showed of the HM player breaking the glass was impressive.

UPDATE: Maple Grove 4, Hill-Murray 2 (ENG) FINAL

I had picked the Pios at home following their Braemar win , and Crimson to lose on road after Blaine loss . Just the opposite happened . Crimson dominated the second and third . JKK line was really clicking , with great forecheck

HM missing Strobel and Pierre, lacking offensive punch without them

I was at the game and was surprised what a big role the youngsters had on the MG team. It looked like the #1 power play unit was one senior, three sophomores and a freshman.

Pipes, agree on that. Mountain seemed to carry the water last Saturday at Braemar , but lots weight on his shoulders every night .
