The first game looked very even on paper, St Thomas outshot Hill 31-28, with the big difference being Hill's lone PPG.
If they can play this close again, it will probably go the Cadets' way, but it should be a good game.

SSP has played both teams twice. I believe HM is a much deeper team. But I am not impressed with either goaltender. HM by 3

STA's rink is one of the few metro rinks i haven't been to. i assume they'll have to turn away many fans and better get there pretty early? What's capacity? Are they selling tickets early?
STA - HM

Yup, still won't understand why you'd make a new rink with stands on one side.
Has the rivalry grown that big to sell this game out?

Last time I was at a WB game in Vadnais Heights, they only had one side to their rink as well. (thought I heard they have both sides now, but the visitor section is very small.) Regardless, rinks should have 2 sections for the fans, one on each side.
And considering it's #1 of AA and #1 of A with a conference championship on the line; it's safe to say it will fill to capacity. If it was at Aldrich, I would say otherwise...

I did go to the first game at Aldrich, and the crowd was underwhelming. Granted, it was a Thursday night, but they were both #1, and their are always conference title implications when they meet. I'd be surprised to see a sellout, but pleasantly surprised. Last year's game at STA had a nice crowd, but nowhere near a full house.

#1 AA Vs #1 A playing for the conference championship. Get to the rink and grab a seat or a piece of glass! If you can't make it to the game to be there in person MSBN is going to have multi camera live coverage of the game today!

Video. It's not great quality and has no replays.

Would be silly to offer "multi
camera live coverage" of a game to only offer audio

I thought mnsportsnetwork only provided audio feeds. I have never heard of them doing video feeds thats why I was confused.
