Should be Grand Rapids strongest test in the remaining regular season games. I have not seen the Lumberjacks play and I believe GR's 1st and 3rd lines will step up and bury a few in the net. GR wins this one by a pair.

I've seen them both and this should be a fun, physical game. Both have very solid goaltending and good depth. Rapids might have an edge on the top end players, but Bemidji seems to have better team chemistry/common mission mentality. My guess is Bemidji by 1...team edges talent.

I like Bemidji this year.... Lumberjacks in OT

I am hoping the Lumberjacks win.

Basing it on bantam years, I would say the Jacks by 2.

I had someone tell me that it was the Jacks game because of the Hermantown results but anyone with sports knowledge knows that is not how it works.

I hope it is a good game and no one gets hurt. They both have alot of potential for a good end of the season.

I think Rapids took 5 penalties in the first period. That was the reason for the shot differential. Rapids outshot the Jacks approx. 30 - 6 for the remaining two periods.

Yeah, after seeing bemidji last night, moorhead is GRs toughest opponent left. Moorhead has got to be the favorite in 8AA. Plus, it seems Moorhead is 2nd, only to DE, as far as GR going into a game already mentally beat, at least in years past.

I love seeing people place so much emphasis on one game! You should know better Piper -- even GR has had some bad games! .... Moorhead tied Bemidji and lost to at least one team that beat them. Bemidji has no losses in their section. I am pretty sure that Moorhead will not disregard Bemidji based on one bad game -- most teams have an off night here and there and obviously Bemidji had their turn last night. Time will tell who the Section champ is....should be interesting to follow.

Lets face it Bemidji got their butt whipped last night. Time to put the work boots on and get ready to take on the taters. Best of luck down the stretch to the Lumberjacks hope to see Rapids and Brrrrmidji down in St. Paul in March.

I just got done saying to someone that if I'm Bemidji, last night's loss (if a loss had to happen) couldn't possibly have come at a better time against a better opponent. Think about it - let's say the 'Jacks eaked out a win last night and started to believe in the press (the paper and Bemidji TV have called them "unstoppable" before last night) . Next they have Alexandria, who they should beat, then Roseau and Fargo North before matching up with Moorhead again. Now, would a Bemidji fan rather have them lose last night and refocus, or get lulled into a false sense of where they are at, and have that kind of let-down vs. Roseau or Moorhead? Refocusing right now, after a loss to a good non-section team isn't the worst thing that ever could have happened to Bemidji.

Could not be stated any better than that good luck in the title run to the Lumberjacks.

16-2-1 for Bemidji
2 losses against two teams playing well this year...
1 tie against your section rival...
wins over 3 of your other sectin rivals...

so far so good...

Just hope the boys see it this way...

and come back strong...

Will the 8AA final be in Their River Falls?

Fargo, St Cloud or TRF is the way it is scheduled.
