Rock Ridge v Grand Rapids - Game of the night
WBL v Minnetonka - Maximum uncertainty but should be very entertaining
Blaine v Rogers - Can Rogers pass the test
Andover v Totino-Grace - Can Pizza Roll hockey continue their surge?
Cloquet - v Hermantown - Big Class A mathchup. Cheering LJacks here

Unfortunately Rock Ridge will be without top line star Caz Carlson as he took a pointless major after the whistle up 3-1 with two minutes left last night.

[Sparlimb]

1-0 Rapids 12 seconds into the game.

[elliott70]

2-1 grapids

[Sparlimb]

1-0 Rapids 12 seconds into the game.

3-2 Rapids after 1 in a period they dominated. Rock Ridge scored with about 2 minutes left to cut the lead to 3-2, and then about 10 seconds after the goal a Rock Ridge player just blows up a Grand Rapids kid standing there. Major penalty called, 3 minutes left of it in period 2.

[Sparlimb]

Cloquet playing really well, and as I say that Hermantown sneaks one by...

1-0 Hermantown with 1:36 left in 1st.

[Sparlimb]

Tonka scores early in the 2nd to lead WBL 1-0. Watching 5 games tonight, so doing my best.

Last I looked, Andover and TG scoreless...

[Sparlimb]

Cloquet playing really well, and as I say that Hermantown sneaks one by...

1-0 Hermantown with 1:36 left in 1st.

Cloquet (which isn't a city) ties it late and period one ends 1-1.

[Sparlimb]

1-0 Rapids 12 seconds into the game.

3-2 Rapids after 1 in a period they dominated. Rock Ridge scored with about 2 minutes left to cut the lead to 3-2, and then about 10 seconds after the goal a Rock Ridge player just blows up a Grand Rapids kid standing there. Major penalty called, 3 minutes left of it in period 2.

4-3 Rapids 5 minutes into the second. Rock Ridge is getting out played, but has 3 goals on 9 shots.

Just tuned into the Rock Ridge v Grand Rapids game on YouTube. One of the announcers has quite the gravelly voice. Sounds like The Machoman Randy Savage. Just need a couple of Ohhhhh Yeaaaaahs lol

[Sparlimb]

tonka taking it to WBL, now up 3-0 in the second.

Grace got a goal I didn't see, up 1-0 over Andover in the 2nd.

It's fun to hear the homers. And these guys are Rapids guys without a doubt. They've been fun though.

[norcon]

Casey stinking it up in the nets for Rapids. The way he’s played in recent games is not encouraging. Rapids has pretty much dominated this game.

[ryguyMN]

Tonka and WBL ends in a 4-4 draw. Only caught the OT. WBL had a good scoring chance in the final seconds but was denied by the Skipper tendy.

[east hockey]

Cloquet 3, Hermantown 1 final. In Hermantown. Serious 7A seeding implications.

[norcon]

Rapids / Rock Ridge. 4 - 4 tie. Shots 47 - 30 in favor of Rapids. Very entertaining game. Would be a great rematch in sectionals.

[grindiangrad-80]

Great game in Rapids for sure. Section playoffs should be great as well. Rock Ridge- Andover- Rapids are probably a couple of coin flips from getting to state.

Not sure the eventual winner will be a factor in St. Paul.

But, you never know.

You're talking about Sheldon. I think he's the sports director at the Grand Rapids radio stations. Great guy.
The stations are pretty involved in high school sports.

Hat tip to Ken Pauly on his 600th win last night.

I thought he did a nice job. Just funny to tune in and hear that level of gravel in an announcers voice.

Camera work for these streaming games is always a little hit or miss. The GR v RR camerawork was generally good. The one thing they did that I appreciated was that during pauses in the action they would pan over to both the scoreboard and the separate shots on goal display. On some of these streams, they don’t put the clock on the screen so you’re sort of guessing a little. And they usually don’t show shots, which I like to see.
