Really hard to say at this point. All will be great teams. All should be great games. It kinda has to do with who gets hot I think. The way it looks, two teams are moving on to state. The top team from each pool plays the second team from the other pool in two state qualifier games. There are all kinds of possibilities. Should be fun to see.bigdaddydangler wrote:Who will come out of the West Regions - Bantam A's

How do you like East side's chances???? Looks like a heckuva team to me.Air Force 1 wrote:Terrible is a bit extreme, they are in regions afterall.sssmack09 wrote:No offense but both those teams are terribleslow feet no hands guy wrote:Hey BDD-

Fergus is 28-9-1 with wins over Roseau (2), and Brainerd (2) and a big 6-1 win yesterday over Moorhead in the VFW 9th District 3rd place game.
Brainerd is 27-12-0 but it is a bit harder to find some quality wins in their schedule, would have to go with the 3-0 win over Hermantown earlier this year and 3-1 win over Moorhead in January. In districts they did nip Fergus 3-2.
They have a lot of work cut out for themselves. They played Moorhead pretty well this year, dropped a heartbreaker to Andover in a shootout at the early Roseau tournament but have not played Blaine. They are going to have to string together the best three performances of the year to get to Sunday, but it is doable.defense wrote: How do you like East side's chances????

Andover has top goalie, he is good enough to steal a game or two by himself. They also have a top defenseman, physical kid. After that it drops off. If the goalie and top D can carry they will get a W or two, if not they have little other opportunity to change the outcome of the game.youngbloodjr3 wrote:Andover ?

Don't mean to be technical, but Fergus Falls would have had to beat Roseau by more then 5 goals in order for them to have the tie breaker on Roseau and Elk River. I don't think there was much of a chance that was going to happen.defense wrote:Elk River topped Brainerd to stay alive 6-0, but had to wait for the final game of the day, Roseau v Fergus Falls to see if they were to play on Sunday. If Fergus Falls wins, Elk River goes home, Roseau wins and Elk River is in. Fergus Falls and Roseau played a pretty good game with both teams leading. Fergus Falls took a 4-3 lead into the third period but couldn't hang on losing 6-4 to a team they beat twice this year.
Elk River will play Blaine in one state qualifying match tomarrow and Roseau will match up with either East Grand Forks or Moorhead...I don't know who got the tiebreaker other than Andover should be out of it (all three are 1-2). I heard talk and I think EGF is the team.
Thank to and OUTSTANDING third period by Andover, EGF edged Moorhead for the tie breakers and will play Roseau on Sunday at 2:00!NIFALTY wrote:Any decision on East Grand Forks or Moorhead for the slot against Roseau? Thanks
"Technically" then, I suppose the powers that be at Minnesota Hockey and the tournement got it wrong...BlackTape wrote:Don't mean to be technical, but Fergus Falls would have had to beat Roseau by more then 5 goals in order for them to have the tie breaker on Roseau and Elk River.

...no they didn't. Refer to tournement rules on the Minnesota Hockey website. In a tie situation in pool play, the first tiebreaker is the score between the tied teams. Meaning only the games between the tied teams. Elk River was at 2-1, if Fergus beat Roseau, both Roseau and Fergus would be at 2-1, Brainerd ended the tournement at 0-3. Only the games between Roseau, Fergus Falls, and Elk River would be counted in the tie breaker. Elk River beat Fergus Falls 4-3 and lost to Roseau 5-3...aggregrate of 7-8. Fergus Falls lost to Elk River 3-4...so All Fergus Falls had to do was beat Roseau by a goal and their goal differential would've been even compared to Elk River's -1. They would've had to beat Roseau by 4 in order for them to have the tie breaker on Roseau. All teams knew this and that is why everyone stayed to watch. The fact that Elk River beat Brainerd 6-0 meant nothing accept that they were at 2-1 in the pool and would be in 2nd place if Fergus loses nothing else.So I was off by a goal. an Awefully long response for being off by a goal. Sorry your team did not make it.defense wrote:"Technically" then, I suppose the powers that be at Minnesota Hockey and the tournement got it wrong...BlackTape wrote:Don't mean to be technical, but Fergus Falls would have had to beat Roseau by more then 5 goals in order for them to have the tie breaker on Roseau and Elk River.
