MGC #1 when was the last time that the Crimson actually won a game at Fogerty?
For me it's a tough game to pick. Blaine for the most part plays great at home and their fans will be rocking as usual. Maple Grove seems to be playing pretty good hockey since the big Wayzata win. Problem is they haven't played any top ten teams like the rest of the ranked teams have so it's hard to really know how good there are.
Offensively there fun to watch and they seem to have a really good (not great) defensive group which is backed up by some good goal tending.
To hard to pick a score but I'm taking the Crimson all the way!!!

Nice prediction. I wanted to venture out and see these two teams play since I don't see much 5AA action.HSHockeyFan08 wrote:Crimson 4

I would have to say these teams are fairly evenly matched. I came away very impressed with Maple Grove overall. No single individual stood out, but they all play real well as a unit. Looked very good on the PP, and had alot of odd man rushes. It will likely be these two teams in the 5AA championship, but both should have tough semi games.
On a side note, #22 from Blaine was the best player on the ice tonight. Anyone know if he's getting any offers anywhere?
