Sure NP hits, but dont think orono is just a bunch of pretty boys Ive seen my fair share of them roughing it up, so dont think just cause NP hits orono is gonna roll over and die, because im pretty sure Warroads forecheck is a lot more aggressive then NP's will ever be and orono played warroad so dont think their not used to getting hit, and im still sticking with 5-4 in possible OT orono

True true, and plus Orono has been known to hit as well. And at the New Prague Orono game they hit New Prague just as much. Orono wont just role over and die on this one

although i havent seen either team this year i gotta pull for orono based off of experience. these kids grew up watching the orono varsity in its best years. they remember 2004 when orono fought hard to beat the no 1 seed in the first round of state (2-1 OT over warroad) and they remember in 2005 when when they lost in OT in the section final to a shakopee team that was not better than them. a lot of these kids were on the team that went to state last year and if they werent, they were living it right there with the team.

if the kids on orono remember what they saw growin up and play with heart...they are looking at another state tournament appearance

i take that back hootie
but NP doesnt hav much besides witty and lapic
all ambroz does is sit in front

Correction: Shakopee beat orono in the semifinals, then went on to beat Mound in the finals!!!

----and sorry about the tuuks....didnt know they came in different colors...been out of the game for a while, just heard somebody say they spray painted them, but im not gonna lie....looks pretty tacky

---He scores goals doesnt he????

We did spray paint them...and i think they are sweet haha...its original, and its better than dying your hair or doing stupid hair cuts. Which everyone does...its actually original.

Gonna go with RONO in this one!

3-2 in T

Should be a close game though

Orono plays to the level of their competition and will find a way to win. These seniors have been there and will be the difference makers in this game. Orono5 NP3.

He may sit in front as you point out, but only Richfield has someone big enough to move him. He is actually a little slower than one would expect, but hey he is just an 8th grader. I would watch out for him in two years.... He does skate and plays real well. I have watched him three times this year and am impressed with his size and the way he plays for his age.

I am guessing that NP will be tougher than Orono. Orono did not impress me as a skating team. I will go with NP. I will be there to watch.

SO..since he's only an 8th grader what's the chances he stays put at NP? Now would be the best time to leave with the purposed transfer rule correct? I heard the mom doesn't want to make the same mistake with him as she did with older brother Matt (Although he's been tearing it up in Juniors and accepted a "full ride" to UNO. Not sure it was such a big mistake). I've been impressed with the young lad! NP 3 Orono 2.

Alright I know Seth, and here is the deal. He got offered a full ride from Shattuck but he doesn't think he'll go. He said he will prolly play in NP til he's like 16 and then just play Juniors.

Which is exactly what he should do if he doesnt wanna play at NP. I wish more people would make this decision instead of transferring to a AHA or something like that

The games still on correct??

Looks like it's still on! I want NP to win, if nothing else than to see some new teams at the X! Somebody else in 6A needs to step up and knock off Orono. NP has a chance that it's more than just a baseball town!

When is it tonight?

7 at Richfield

I'd prolly go but the roads aren't in my favor

Orono 4

NP 3

I got to go with Orono in this one 5-2

The arena is ready for the game. The snow has been cleared from the parking lot and the sidewalk is close to being dry. The arena is clean and the ice is in great shape, at least it was when I left at 3PM. I am hoping to go to the game, it should be good. I am still going with NP.

I like New Prague as well in this 4 to 3 in a close game

Give us updates throughout the game. For the people that can't go that is...

Well here it is folks...

Orono-4
New Prague-1

Orono really showed up and showed that they wanted to go back to the Xcel. Peterson played an amazing game. It was just a good game overall. Congrats to all the players on Orono.

Including you BC07,

Yeah orono played really good. New Prague just wasn't very high-tempoed...didnt seem ready. Palma played good and had a lot of nice saves. I think it was a really good game until orono scored with 8 minutes left to go u[ 3-1, and then it just seemed like NP didn't think they'd win and jsut gave up
