I disagree. As shaky as Blaine has been, they have been winning the games they HAD to win. Outside of that, they played Centennial close and blew MG out of the water.BlaineAlum wrote:I don't know about Blaine. They are shakey. They should have no problem with Irondale but I'm worried about Osseo or even Champlin for that matter (last game Blaine won 1 0). The worst thing that could happen to Blaine is they play MG in the finals. They may be over-confident if that happens. Both games they won by five they were on the power play most of the game. In the last game they had two 5 on 3 power play goals early on. When it was 5 on 5 it was pretty even; I actually thought MG was out playing Blaine. With all that pessimism... Go Blaine!
With the return of Tufte and Wagamon to the lineup, Blaine should have no problems against Osseo, and same against Maple Grove if that is how the section championship lines up.
However, I believe that it will be a Blaine/Centennial rematch of last year. It will be a good test for both teams. A potential state champion could arise from this section.
