Isn’t that what you played in high school?

[Sparlimb]

Could be a 2 game losing streak for Edina (can't imagine they'll have many of those this year)...

[Brodziak Fan Club]

The Kraft-Zimmerman-Hasbargen line

[Lino Lakes Hockey]

And the Pioneers just keep rolling. Looking forward to the Jan 7 date vs STA.

5-0 Moorhead in the 3rd and it could be worse. Spuds making quite the statement so far in Prior Lake.

[ryguyMN]

I'm penciling in Zach Zimmerman for Mr. Hockey two seasons from now.

EP has 3 goals in the last 4 games...ouch.

Good Lord, we can't be giving up three goals to the likes of LVN.

Well, maybe we can if we keep scoring 6 goals a game.

Not pretty, but the combined GAA of those 4 teams is 1.89, so it’s nothing to get all worried about. They’ve had their chances to score here and there but they just haven’t been able to convert.

[raidergrad72]

STA & Edina scoreless after 1. SOG 6-5 STA.
There's a few scouts watching this one.
Still scoreless after 2. SOG STA 14-12
Things livened up period 3. STA scored 2 goals rather quickly but Edina scored with 4:30 left in regulation, 2-1 2 min. left.

[Brodziak Fan Club]

2-1 final. Really fast, even, well-played game. Edina fanned on a ton of Grade A chances.

Gotta agree with you Brodz. It was the game I expected. Thought it'd be 1-0 game. STA's goalie made some great stops as did Edina's netminder.

The Cloquet loss to St. Cloud will probably push Hermantown ahead of them to the #1 Class A spot in Sunday's PageStat ratings, depending on what happens tomorrow. If I ran them now (and I will in the morning), Hermantown should be top dog again.

Was it 6v6 with 3 forwards and 3 defenders who each had to stay on their half of the court?

Any Chance Monticello moves into top Class A Spot ?

Doubtful. Hermantown will drop a bit Saturday with their loss to WBL. Monti will rise a tiny bit--they were 0.47 pts behind Bemidji after Friday so their tie with Bemidji won't do much. It's possible, I suppose--this early in the season the ratings are much more fluid than they'll be in a month or so from now. My gut tells me the top three when I run the weekly update in the morning will be Cloquet/Hermantown/Monticello

Monti had 2 goals called off, both should have been good. Holiday big game, unfortunately no officials behind the nets. Monti should have won the game.
For the most part a fun back and forth game. Refs had way too much to do with the outcome.
Both goalies played great, except for one of the goals that was called off in the 3rd where the Jacks goalie scored on himself sliding back into the net with no whistle puck was in.
It was a fun game to watch and a good test for both teams.
