AA State Championship EDINA vs HILL MURRAY

I couldnt disagree more that HM has an edge in depth. That Gaarder line (#2) for Edina is rock solid.

This game pits my season long pick (Edina) against the best team to come out of my homer section (H-M).

I give H-M the edge in coaching as Lech knows how to get the most out of his teams.

Depth goes to Edina who can put their #2 line out and not give up much in talent.

Cash$ (Rusty) is pretty darn good when he needs to be but Flip gets the edge in nets. He proved against the Rams that the Brimsik award was no fluke.

As good as Sova and his blue line buddies are, Gleason is the man.

I think you could just about flip a coin but I'll take the Hornets 5-3.

Cake Eaters Vs. Daddy's Money.....What has the world come to??? I'll be comatose til next season, or at least til if and when the Wild make a playoff push.

If not for Lee, Hill could have had three-four more goals on breakaways.

Edina has to be ready for a Hill team that likes to hit and take advantage when Hill takes bad penalties. (I hope they don't )

HM gets revenge for '88 5-3 Pioneers
Let me put it this way. Hill could not have an average defense and still expect to get to the state final just on pure offense. That's how big and developed this Edina first line is. They can have an average D and still be in the final.
I missed the Edina games so can't give an opinion on Edina's size but I will take the well-rounded team 99% of the time. Hill has proven to have offense, defense and a GK who is not choking. (Note to Hill fans- say extra Hail Mary tonight.)

Let's play the game and see who is right.

I don't disagree with you in the least.

Dont get me wrong, he is capable of playing a good game, but Cashetta is overrated. He is an average goalie on a phenomanal team. I hope Phillipi uses the grand stage tomorrow to show why he was 1st team all metro, he was great tonight. Cashetta is much more prone to letting in a weak goal, and hasn't played his best hockey throughout sections and state. Look for Hill to take this one 5-4

Most championship games aren't close, I'll predict a boring one.

Edina 5
Hill-Murray 2

The third goal Cashetta gave up on the short side was primarily his fault. He didn't have a proper angle. Meier or whatever his name is from Benilde could've done a better job on a couple too. Cashetta can move around too much IMO.

Me thinks it's time for people to appreciate the David known as HM.

H-M did play one heck of a game, and they took the Rams out of their element.. I'm sure this post will raise a serious rukous with everyone south of Forest Lake.......................
Sore Loser! Don't blame the announcers. You can still win the JV title.

No JV Title for Roseau or Benilde. STA has their sights set on it.

Gaarder's line is going to be the X-factor in this one.

I'll take the Hornets in a thriller 4-3.

By the way, what time does this game start?

feels like 5-3 HM

hockeyhockeyhockey · Post by **hockeyhockeyhockey** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 1:35 am

i just dont think Edina can scrape again a full game to force another OT and get a winner. this time they come up short, dont get to OT and lose 5-3

I'll take Hill-Murray in barn burner. Cecka nets a hat-trick, Flip plays just good enough to hold on and the Pioneers win 6-4 with an empty-netter.

Seems like Edina has a difficult time getting the puck out of their zone. But once they get it into the offensive zone it's fun to watch. The difference tonight is Edina has the size/strength to counter-punch, unlike Roseau. Unfortunately the best game of the tournament was played last night. I see Edina winning 5-2.

Any announcer who says something constructive, bad or critical of a team therefore becomes lousy to that fan. It's pretty simple. I liked Lou's take on Edina's D sagging too far into the zone, or HM's D holding the blue line making it difficult for Roseau, or HM's tape-to-tape passing... Lou Nanne knows hockey. Period.

I'll take Hill in this one just because I hate Edina so much!!!

I'm thinking Edina by 3 or 4.
Hopefully, it will be a wild one.

If Phillippi plays he did against Roseau, Edina will have trouble.
