1. EGF eliminated #3 Warroad in double OT

#8 Totino-Grace beat #9 Mahtomedi
10. St. Cloud Cathedral survived.
This tournament was always going to probably be a 3 team race and with Breck losing, the field really suffered. Many of the other teams that could have competed already lost to elite teams and leaving some holes in the tournament.
Imagine how much fun this tournament could have been:
The 1A tournament I'd have loved to see would have been
1. EGF
2. Hermantown
3. Warroad
4. Breck
5. Duluth Marshall
Play in games between New Prague v Duluth Denfield
Mankato West V Mahtomedi
Luverne v Totino Grace
Don't get me wrong, I don't feel sorry for Breck, they lost to a lower ranked team. In this feild a team like TRF would be difficult to beat.
While I get the history of the Section system and the natural rivalry, if you really wanted the best feild for the 1A tournament they should scrap the Section system and rank teams for post season.
IMO, It will never happen, because everyone wants to give teams a chance to make it to the tournament. But clearly the top teams played in three sections this season, making the section tournaments in 7A and 8A probably more difficult than the State Tournament.
It is interesting, but at the same time, the metro sections go through this most every year (good teams not making it).
And trf would still struggle, even with this field. Weak forwards, both on offense and defense.

They don't seed the last 3 teams. And, since Luverne didn't get seeded, they'll probably ROLL CARDS ROLL against Chisago at about 8am Thursday at Mariucci.

I'll believe a random draw when it's streamed. Much like a random test at work they randomly choose the same guys. Funny how that works. With that being said, the way Luverne has played this year, I'm not putting them in the Thursday morning game until the final horn goes off

I don't buy the random draw either. However, I'm a little more sure on the other one.
Pope Plante won't have any problem in this one.

We'll with hockeyflub, you may be waiting until next Sunday or it will be wrong. I would trust the hockey gods. You know it's like a compass, you either believe it or you don't.

It is official. It is on the mshsl website. It's not what Luverne was hoping for, but we'll still play the game!

Haha...luckily for Hermantown, Luverne isn't Stillwater and my opinions won't have any impact on the game.
I'll wear a pink tutu to Luverne's game on Friday if they beat Hermantown.
And at 6'2" 245 I think that I'll be pretty noticeable so please...give it to me.

You see what I did there? I'm on board with the Luverne faithful...Setterholm is a clown.
All in all. I don't dislike Luverne. I'm excited to see them play and would like them to make a game of it against Hermantown. I just don't think they will.
Opinions, y'know?
I'm very excited to watch the 8th grader and this Toby fella I've heard so much about.
