Add Wessy's to this as well.
The reason i say this is because teams like Blaine, Wessy's and others mentioned are playing rather good hockey right now and could have the opprtunity to upset some powerhouses. Any Thoughts?

@ wild thing EP Stillwater and WBL in my opinion would not be that much of an upset if they made it to state.
From what i have heard Stillwater has the best goalie in the state.
Eden Prairie in my opinion is a top 3 team in the league
And WBL has shown they can play with anyone
Blaine i agree though will upset a relatively high ranked team and as you can see SLP can play with anyone in the state and should have a decent shot at making it to state.
Now @ JGA96 go to metrohockeyleague.org and look at the standings. Lakeville is currently 3rd, yes they have had an easy schedule but no team is a true sleeper team in this league if they are in the top half of the standings.

The teams I listed all have the ability to easily upset teams that have higher winning percentages.
Lakeville has been playing such darn good hockey lately that a win by them would not be an upset
