My take
Delano
Minneapolis
Orono
Providence

Love PageStat but the above is why you need to consider head to head as well.

Delano lost to Both MPLS and Orono. More likely to see Delano at the 3 seed

You mean why the coaches SHOULD consider it but they just vote.
Delano has a history
Orono has a history
Minneapolis is not well liked.

Why is Mpls not well liked?

[elliott70]

Because they are a BIG school.
It’s natural.

[headsupsticksdown]

Because they are a BIG school.
It’s natural.

Actually, they are a collection of schools….

JD has that program on the right track though. When they are on their game, they are a tough team.

[TTpuckster]

It’s a good time of the year even if it was minus 32 this morning.

Agreed! Last week you brought up State Predictions going to stick with mine below are my Section Final Predictions & Section Winners

1A- Northfield over Rochester Lourdes
2A- Delano over MPLS
3A- Mankato East over New Ulm
4A- Mahtomedi over Chisago Lakes
5A- Little Falls over SCC
6A- Fergus Falls over Alex
7A- Hermantown over Denfeld
8A- Warroad over EGF

Sticking to my preseason picks feeling a little uneasy about Fergus and the Flyers but the rest I feel good about cant wait to see the upsets or maybe this is the year of chalk all to way to a Hermantown vs Warroad Title Game

I
Watched EGF play Grand Forks Central. They looked slow and out of sync. So disappointing for a Palmo coached team. You are giving them too much credit. I do not believe they will make it to the 8A ship.

TTpuckster I do trust your opinion. My thoughts on this are that if and its huge IF EGF can beat TRF this week they will lock into the #2 seed and push TRF to the #4 seed on the Warriors side of the Section Bracket. That means they will draw #3 Detroit Lakes, whom has not played a good schedule and their tie with RLF indicates, they may not be as strong as their record appears. I would take EGF over DL in Section Semi @EGF where the 8A playoffs are held this year. They have been horrid at times but I still think Jaksen Panzer and Palmo and Oliver's coaching will get them back to the Section Final.

Tuesday Night (2/15/22) Class A Recap-

Games of the Night-
#1 Hermantown 3 Grand Rapids 2 OT
The Hawks ended their very impressive regular season on a high note. As on the road vs a Top 10 AA Grand Rapids club Hermantown was able to overcome a two goal deficit and eventually tie game in the third period on Beau Janzig’s 2nd goal of the night. Max Plante scored the game winner in OT

#5 Delano 3 #3 Mahtomedi 2
The Tigers won a big Class A game at home when they knocked off Mahtomedi. Delano used a big 2nd period where they scored three times and out shot the Zephyrs 21-5. Anders Peterson’s 2 goals were key and Drew Dorsey picked up the win in net.

#6 Alexandria 3 #13 Fergus Falls 0
Alexandria locked up Section 6A’s top seed when they went on the road and knocked off their arch rivals Fergus Falls for the regular season sweep. Brycen Berg had 2 goals on the night to lead the charge and Teagan Pfeffer picked up the shutout on the night.

#9 Little Falls 5 St Cloud Cathedral 2
The Flyers used a similar formula to knock off SCC as the rematch was much like the first match up with the teams knotted up after 2 periods. Again like the first time around the Flyers used a big 3 goal third period it was freshman Joey Welinski who scored the GW goal and the Flyers picked up a big Section 5A Sweep of SCC.

#12 Thief River Falls 5 #15 East Grand Forks 2
The Prowlers picked up their best win of the year as they blew out EGF at home. Tysen Loeffler has a big 3 point night and TRF was in total control throughout the game to continue theri recent string of very good play. The win should give them the three seed and help avoid Warrod in the 8A semis.

Other Notable Class A Games
#2 Warroad 5 Bemidji 2- The Warriors were able to break open a tie game with Bemidji in the third period Jayson Shaugabay’s 2 goals and 1 assist to put away the Lumberjacks.

#7 Northfield 7 Rochester Century 2- Northfield continued its dominance over the Big Nine Conference as they routed Rochester John Marshall behind Cayden Monson’s big 6 point night.

#11 Chisago Lakes 5 St Paul Johnson 0- The Wildcats cruised to a needed Section 4A win as were able to eventually put away the Govs behind Nikolas Jinks 3 point night and they finish (2-0-0) in 4A play.

#19 Litchfield Dassel Cokato 5 Sauk Rapids 3- The Dragons won a back and forth affair over a struggling Storm team. They needed Jack Hillmann’s 2 goal night as they really struggled but found a way to win another game of late.

UPSET OF THE NIGHT
Anoka 3 #14 Cambridge Isanti 2
Cambridge dropped a clunker on the road to struggling Anoka in a game where they out shot the Tornadoes and had a 2-1 lead behind Treyten Green’s 2 goal night they let the game slip away and dropped their 3rd game in the last 4 to continue a really poor stretch of play heading to the playoffs.

[ClassAGuy]

Thursday Night (2/17/22) Class A Recap-

Games of the Night-
#8 Detroit Lakes 2 #9 Little Falls 2
In a Class A Top 10 Battle the Flyers twice held a one goal lead. It looked as though Little Falls would pick up a big road win when they scored with under two minutes to go in regulation play however the Lakers would tie it with under 1 minute to play and the team would have to settle the Top 10 battle with a hard fought tie.

St Cloud Cathedral 2 #14 Cambridge Isanti 1
The Crusaders won a huge Section 5A game which one would seem would have gave them the #2 seed in 5A. I guess everyone but the 5A coaches who overlooked this one and still gave Cambridge the home ice advantage for the playoffs if they meet again the Section 5A Semifinals.

Other Notable Class A Games
#3 Mahtomedi 12 South St Paul 2- The Zephyrs blew out fellow 4A South St Paul as Junior Seth Nelson led all scorers with a 4 point night.

#5 Delano 3 Monticello 1- The Tigers' Bruce Halonen had two big first period goals to help Delano hold off the Moose in a tight game.

#6 Alexandria 2 Brainerd 2- Alexandria got tied late by struggling Brainerd and were unable to do much in OT to finish the season on a disappointing tie with the Warriors.

#7 Northfield 8 Austin 0- The Raiders Spencer Klotz had 5 points on the night as Northfeild routed struggling Austin.

#11 Chisago Lakes 5 Dodge County 4- Chisago Lakes was lucky to escape with a win vs. Dodge County as they were outshot 44-25 and out player but sophomore Jack Bakken played the hero and scored the game winning goal latein the third period.

#12 Thief River Falls 4 Bemidji 2- The Prowlers finished the year on a strong note as they beat Bemidji behind Braydin Lund’s big three point night.

#13 Fergus Falls 3 St. Cloud 2- The Otters picked up a nice win on the road to end the year as they downed AA St. Cloud behind Issac Johnson’s 2 goal night.

#17 Providence Academy 9 Waconia 5- Providence Academy won a wild game vs Waconia and overcame some shaky goaltending and leaky D to win a shootout 9-5. John Reller’s hat trick was key to help the Lions pick up a much needed Section 2A win before seeding.

#19 Litchfield Dassel Cokato 6 Princeton 3- The Dragons wrapped up their year by needing a big 3rd period to break open a tie game with Pricneton. Zachary Zwilling had 3 big points and the Dragons ended the regular season on a win.

#20 New Ulm 5 Luverne 2- The Eagles were able to pick up yet another Section 3A/Big South win when they downed Luverne on the road. Braxten Hoffmann’s 4 points were the difference to help New Ulm end the season unbeaten in Section 3A play.
