SSP's goalie has made several outstanding saves.

South St. Paul 2, Warroad 1 (after two periods)

South St. Paul 4, Warroad 2

Great game by the Packers - they become the first team in either tournament to beat a higher seeded team.

In our contest 7 of 19 picked them to win and they add 5 points apiece. We now have a three-way tie for first place:

1. Silent But Deadly - 29

In our next game (Breck vs. Red Wing) everybody picked Breck to win, so nobody will gain or lose points on the rest of the field.

Just looking forward to a well played, competitive game!

Milica McMillen scores twice in the last minute of the first period to put her team up 3-2. Red Wing did have leads of 1-0 and 2-1.

An explosion of goals in the second period as Breck extends their lead to 8-4...future Gopher Kate Schipper with four of Breck's eight goals!

And that's the way it ends:

Breck 8, Red Wing 4

Everybody adds 5 points to the totals shown above.

Looking forward to two very exciting AA semifinal games this evening!

Edina vs. Roseville: No score after one.

Both teams play very good team defense and any goals scored could prove to be huge.

Roseville scores two at the end of the second period to go up 2-0. Until the first one, which came on a power play, good scoring chances for either team were few and far between.

Final score:

Roseville 4, Edina 1 (empty net at end)

Only three prognosticators predicted Edina would advance to the final, so seventeen others add 5 points for Roseville's win.

P.S. I'm pulling hard for Silent But Deadly, who promised to split his prize money with me 50-50 if he wins this...

After one there is no score:

Lakeville North 0, Minnetonka 0

The Skippers are controlling the play and are getting their chances, but can't find the back of the net.

After two periods it's still 0-0.

Minnetonka scores with 20 seconds to go to tie it up at 1-1. Headed to overtime!

(definitely the best game of either tournament, so far)

Amy Peterson scores the winner for Minnetonka in OT.

Final was Minnetonka 2, Lakeville North 1

Great game!

Everyone thought Minnetonka would advance to the final, so add 5 to everyone's point total. Our contest will be decided on the two championship games tomorrow - should be some great hockey.

Breck and South St. Paul are scoreless after one. Breck had two power plays but couldn't take advantage.

The pace definitely picked up in the second period as SSP took advantage of a major penalty call to go up 1-0.

Should be a tense, exciting 3rd period...we'll see if the Packers can hold on.

It keeps getting better, now 2-2 headed for overtime. Great chances and great goaltending at both ends. Breck did have an apparent goal overturned after a review upstairs.

Wow, what a championship game. Still all tied up and they'll play a second overtime (at least).

And Breck wins it at 6:05 of the second overtime. It'll be one to remember, for sure. Let's hope that tonight's AA final is just as good.

In our contest, 14 of 19 had Breck going all the way and they pick up 10 big points apiece. Here is the Leaderboard heading into tonight's final game of the 2011-12 season:

Holly Korn scores on the power play to put Minnetonka up 1-0, after one. The Skippers have had the better of the scoring chances and seemed to get stronger as the period progressed.

Korn's goal is holding up...still 1-0 Tonka, now after two.

And our new 2012 Class 2A State Champion is Minnetonka. Final score was 3-0 with an empty net goal at the end. Congratulations to all of the Skippers on a great and well deserved win.

13 of our 20 contestants were shut out in this game, thinking the No. 2 seed Raiders would prevail. This included Silent But Deadly, our leader going into this evening, who fell all the way into 5th. Congratulations go to sinbin - along with ghshockeyfan's KRACH - who with their Minnetonka pick ended up in a tie for 1st Place. Here is the final Leaderboard for our final contest of the season - it's a been fun hosting!

Hope to see most of you back next season!

So do we flip a coin to determine the ultimate winner, or as KRACH might prefer, set up a random number generator algorithm and decide it that way? Thanks for organizing the season's contests - fun stuff!
