Who wins?

I am not going to make a prediction.

But if both teams come in healthy the result will give us an indication of which way each team is headed this year.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Rapids, very tight game at 4-3.

Okay, I will make a prediction....

I'll go with the big gun from Cloquet scorin' a hat trick and Cloquet 3 to 1.

5 - 2....Purple Lumberjacks win.

I'm taking Cloquet by a couple.

I'm thinking this is going to be one of bobbers top 10 games

I think this will be a great game and I love the section battle right off the bat

Grand Rapids 3
Cloquet 2
OT

I must have a multiple personality because I don't remember starting this thread. (frequent_mn_flyer use your own username!)

I was going to start this thread actually, but later on, GR still has home scrimmages and the IRC Jamboree. Oh, what they hey.

I think both teams will be pretty evenly matched. I would anticipate a one goal margin, but who knows when a couple pucks go in off of shin pads or skates and the floodgates open one way or the other. Both teams will have new goalies and perhaps a more balanced approach than the last two seasons when both clubs relied a lot on their big guns (T.J. and P. W.).

I'm gonna say CEC squeaks out a tight one on the road, 4-2 with an e.n.

I am thinkin Cloquet by a couple but Rapids should be much better later in the season and give the Lumberjacks fits in the sections.

Cloquet 4-1

Rapids 3-1 open netter!! Wish I could make the driveup to watch the opener.

I don't know how Grand Rapids will be able to win any games this year.

Tyler Erikson has not made the team.

I'd like to hear his commentary on how/why he didn't make it.

My heart goes out to him and his family. Not sure things will be quite the same.

cloquet will win if baker can bounce back. if he struggles again, i dont see another comeback

I think Grand Rapids will win this on the strength of Trevor Tabaka:

Grand Rapids 4
Cloquet 2

I agree with BOB, but score 2-1.

Baker will bounce back with a strong game...
Jacks - 4
Thunderchickens - 1

2-2 in ot refs kept cloquet in the game! Rapids looks good!

Great game, especially for a season opener. Final 2 -2. Palki nets both for GR including game tying goal at :01. Classic battle with both teams playing well. Tabaka with 34 saves and Baker of Cloquet with 31. Can't wait for the rematch.

Great pictures now up at www.grhshockey.com

how did they do so? there were about equal penalties on both sides...maybe even a little more on cloquet..

The 2 makeup calls that gave cec the 2 man advantage and the go ahead goal, they didn't even put a cec guy in the box on there first penalty?

I believe both teams wer 1/6 on the PP.
