Forest Lake 5, CEC 3 last night. I'm curious to see if that results in Forest Lake hosting CEC in the quarterfinals.

Not with Cloquet's lost last night, no. East will be #1 and CEC #4 or #5. Personally I would still keep them at 4. I watched some of the game last night on MSBN; CEC has some injury issues and was playing with a very thin lineup. The first line was gassed by the end of the game.

Seeding should be out tonight...

What is the rush? The season isn't even over yet.

Remaining games wouldn't have much of a impact in the seeding.

FL has to be in front of CEC. Head to head means the most especially late in the yr.

Umm.. head to head "should" hold weight, but it doesn't always. In 2001-2002, Rapids and Greenway had almost identical records, Rapids won the first meeting and tied the greenies at the IRA. Yet, somehow, The Snakepit in Coleraine was the site of the playoff meeting.

CEC beat the rangers the first time.

That's why you play section opponents. The win at the end of the year should have the most importance, especially if the teams are close in record.

I am shocked Cloquet got the 3 instead of Elk River.

Shows what I know. :lol:

I'm also surprised they went with Cloquet as the 3-seed, especially with the loss last night. I guess they went by overall record?

Both top seeds will probably get semifinal opponents who they beat by 1 goal, so it should be a great Semifinal Saturday.

Too bad about the seeding, but it's playoff time...no excuses.

Probably the way it should be. Not a alot of games within section, that makes it hard. Both ER and FL have losing records and not any real signature wins. FL win last night makes it a bit more interesting, but since they split, not as significant as it seems. CEC schedule was easier and ER and FL might have had the same record. It's hard with a lot of conference games, but more section games would really help in the seating.

So in the brackets 1/4 are in the upper and 2/3 in the lower? Which could possibly make a east cec final??

East and Cloquet don't play in the semis, so they could meet in the finals.

Semis should be East vs Elk River, Cloquet vs Rapids if the higher seeded teams win their quarterfinal matchups.

I know I asked but I dunno if SOmeone answered .. Are all 3 section games ( 1/4, semi and final ) at Amsoil?

Hopefully East can power through ER this time around... Kind of a scary game last time ( score wise )

And oh goodie, another 15-0 east 1/4 final game
