Duluth East on a 3 game win streak, Hill-Murray with only one loss this year...

Duluth East is good............Hill is too much for them. Hill will take this one.

Hill-Murray by 3.

the hounds are hot and will hunt down the pioneers in the best 1st round game of gold division, 4-2 (en)

white bear was a hot team too coming off of a 10 goal win

I truly have no idea what to expect, other than a close game. H-M has a strong squad with lots of depth, but a loss to Tartan showed they can be off in la-la land while they should be playing hockey. East has been a bit more inconsistent with some really nice wins (Centennial, Moorhead) and some tough losses (Minnetonka, Cloquet, and WBL). Traditionally games between these two teams are very close and very competitive. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the game go to OT and possibly a shoot out again. Need I talk about Hill and day games again (they don't usually play well while the sun is up)? I'll go with Hill 4-3 in OT...

Sorry Pioneer faithfuls, East has this one in a nail biter.

Common Opponents...

Wayzata:
H-M 5-0 W
DE 6-3 W

WBL:
H-M 5-2 W
DE 2-3 L (prior to WBL losing some top players)

We would really need fans of Wayzata or WBL that happened to see both teams to give us the best honest assessment...

Agreed with Sparlimb, H-M and DE always seem to have close matchups. The Pioneers and Greyhounds are playing some solid hockey as of late, which should make for an entertaining day game on Wednesday. Have to say that H-M's first two lines will continue their offensive roll.

Prediction: Pioneers 6, Greyhounds 2

Hill 4
East 3

Very close and exciting game...I'm saying 4-3 hill as my prediction but would not be surprised at all if it went the other way

Hill Murray 5
Duluth East 4

HM - 5 EN
DE - 2

This could easily go either way and is probably the best first-round matchup. The Greyhounds have come a long way since some of those early season losses, so I'll pick East. Either way, I think the winner of this one takes the tournament.

East 4
Hill 3
