Maple Grove Crimson#1 · Fri Feb 20, 2009 2:11 am

at there first ever NWCS title and were out out played by the better team, Blaine proved they were the best team in the NWCS this year so congrats to them. #2 and #3 sed doesn't matter both should have an easy first round matchup.

section 5AA semi finals:

#1 Blaine vs. #4 Osseo
#2 Cent. vs. #3 Maple Grove

at the FairGrounds should be crazy.

Centennial will be #1 and Blaine will be #2. Even with Centennial's tie tonight, I think they've done enough to lock the #1 seed up. 5AA final will be Centennial vs. Blaine/Maple Grove. Should be a great game.

Blaine isnt going to lose to Andover. They are in the drivers seat again.

I don't see how Centennial would have it locked up even after tonight. I understand they have the win over Blaine but they also have a loss to MG who Blaine has dismantled twice and Blaine doesn't have a let down tie against a team like Andover that Centennial does. They certainly could still get the #1 but after tonight Blaine has just as much right to it as Centennial does.

Now that I've had more time to think about it, you're right, Centennial doesn't have the #1 seed locked up. I guess I put too much weight on the fact that Centennial beat Blaine, and didn't look at the whole picture when I posted that. Having said that, whichever team gets the #1 seed, I'll be fine with it.

Yeah, you could argue either way and come up with enough for each team to earn that #1 seed. Centennial has the nice win over Edina and Blaine but also has some let down games. Blaine has done a good job beating the teams they are supposed to beat, aside from maybe ER, and has a nice win over East and the two big ones over MG. We shall see....
