OK, no more quoting.. this was getting lengthy ..
I agreee will EHSHack as well as you.. Both were big wins in Big ways, and one is gonna be greater depending on your zip code....
GR / East is slowly becoming the rivalry East/CEC was .. SO to "US" It was a huge win.. But yes, we all know that Hill for the most part has had WBLs #, And its a HUGE win for you guys as well... Arent both schools on White Bear Ave? ( WBL / Hill )

HM is off of Larpenteur.
WBL South campus is off of McKnight.

The Hounds have an easy run to the finals with the way things shook out last week. WBL will be fortunate to keep this one at a 2 goal margin. As much as I am pulling for the orange and black of White Bear Lake my hunch is it will not be that close of a game. I do not think White Bear has the defensemen to handle East transition and the team speed to force and pressure East, guessing a 5 - 1 game. Hope I am way wrong and the crazy stuff continues on at Excel. My vegas bet is that its EP - East final and if so that would be a great game to take in on Saturday night. Good luck to all the teams that made it in.

Not much (if anything) has been made of the coaching match up. Of course, there have been coaches who have won the championship on their first trip, but I think a coach with a lot tournament experience can make the difference in a tight game. Mike Randolph clearly has the edge here. Knowing when/how to get your team to chill out or fire up, making sure small issues that come up are addressed properly, keeping them focused, etc. These factors can be important, especially for a team that isn't loaded with talent.
Before the 1991 tournament, Jeff Whisler said that in the '88 championship game he felt like he was in diapers coaching against Ikola.

Come on Bears, win the first game already...
However, I will be on the Greyhound wagon this year...
Thanks, Karl.![]()
With that kind of thinking, the Wild have been to the Stanley Cup Finals, except they were the North Stars then.

Not even looking past, just a 4-1 final either way is unlikely.iLLuminati_666 wrote:Ha why some of these East fans think its gonna be a blowout is mindboggling... Where you get this confidence i dont get.. hopefulley your kids have this mindset so the bears have an easy W

No it was not the same school, WB Mariner, and WB high school were 2 seperate schools, but in the same city. Similar to other cities that have more than 1 high schooliLLuminati_666 wrote:Its was still the same school
