Anyone know how which game is played at Braemar and which at BIG is determined?

Its changed every year. I've seen some years where they play opposite seeds to the 2AA (i.e. 1 vs 4 in the 2AA, and 2 vs 3 for the 6AA), I've seen them the same. They played both 6AA semifinals at BIG last year. In the end, they avoid placing Edina at Braemar and Jefferson at BIG (unless they play each other). From there they fill in the 6AA as they see best fit I suppose.hshockeyfan8 wrote:Anyone know how which game is played at Braemar and which at BIG is determined?
I Think Edina always plays section semi at BIG(neutral site)unless they are the higher seed and playing a Bloomington school which was the case last year when they played Jefferson at Braemar. Vice versa for JeffersonGoldenBear wrote:I was told that 6aa and 2aa number one seed alternate choosing either big or bramaer. Last year it was 2aas year. It was Edina with the number one seed and they obviously chose for 2aa to be played at bramaer. This year it's Wayzata's choice. Not sure if true but was told that is how it works. GB
I too have said BSM goaltending is weak but up are absolutely correct that the number of odd man rushes is probably a bigger issue.Deep Breath wrote:Looking at a few of the comments about the BSM team, i wouild tend to disagree a little. Goaltending has not been the main issue this year (no, i am not a BSM goalie dad). Allowing a half-dozen or more odd-man rushes has been the problem. The team doesn't get the puck deep on a consistent basis and it leads to turnovers at the blueline. Now both goalies who have seen the majority of the minutes have allowed soft goals, no question about it. But, so has every other goalie in the state that has played serious varsity minutes. But, excactly how man 2on1s are you expecting a goalie to stop? Wayzata looks like the clear favorite in 6AA, but EP, HFC and BSM have all been involved in a 1-goal game with the Trojans this season. Won't be surprised if Wayzata makes it to St. Paul but it won't be a monumental upset if one of the next three seeds does either.
The rink was pretty full last night despite the weather. Student sections were pretty vocal so I was surprised by the atmosphere for quarter sectional game.Clarkkent wrote:I too have said BSM goaltending is weak but up are absolutely correct that the number of odd man rushes is probably a bigger issue.Deep Breath wrote:Looking at a few of the comments about the BSM team, i wouild tend to disagree a little.
