Andover and Grand Rapids did something tonight not seen before

Both 7AA semifinals had an eight goal margin of victory. The last time both semis in the same section were won by at least eight goals? Answer: Never. Reliable records only going back to the mid-50's, mind you.

I miss the days when the 7AA semis were the place to be. East, Rapids, Cloquet, Elk River. Glory days.

What's Blaine's average margin of loss in Sections since the 15-1 game (I think that was the score)? It must be ugly.

Section 1 had one running time game, 2 games that went into overtime, and a 4-3 game. Maybe Rochester has the best Playoff Saturday?

I’d add section 2 to this conversation, even though they were in different venues. You had a 4-2 game w an EN (PL vs EP) two OT games (Chaska vs Tonka and Delano vs Orono) and then a 5-1 game that was 3-1 unles 2 ENG were scored in the final 2 minutes.

Eh, there's more to great hockey than close scores. It also has a lot to do with the skills on display, something not measured by statistics. If you could 100% guarantee me that a play in game will go to 3 overtimes, I still would not go.
