#7 St. Paul Johnson defeats #2 White Bear Lake 6-5 in overtime.

Another 2nd seed going down, Alexandria, Eden Prairie and now White Bear Lake, this is not the year to be a 2nd seed. Hill Murray has no excuses if they dont make state this year!

Hill's only excuse for not making state this year would be that they are not the typical powerhouse Hill team. They are the clear favorites in 4AA, but it is by no means a slam dunk that they will win it.

Unreal, Johnson was down 5-1 and had nothing going offensively when I left. Great win for Moose in possibly Johnson's last season.

More than just those three...we also lost second-seeded Apple Valley and second-seeded New Prague. That's already 5 #2 seeds gone in the quarterfinals!

Thanks, I knew I was forgetting a team or 2, and we almost lost Andover this year too, what a wild start to the playoffs!

And congrats to Johnson, like said before if it is their last year, what a way to go out!

Just because there were two, and this one had more responses.

Whew, and here I thought is was because of my comment.

Nah, the WBL faithful is certainly free to vent (within reason, of course) after that one.

I thought going into this year, WBL's strength would be defense and goaltending. Boy was I wrong. 5 goals isn't enough to get by Johnson.

With Johnson getting to within a goal with about a minute left, my wife looks at me and says Sager better take his timeout. I look at Sager on the bench, and he looks like a deer in headlights. NO CLUE what is happening.

He thinks he has "slim pickings" this year, wait until next.

Nice job boys.
That's great for them.

I can't believe Coach of the Year Tim "Slim Pickings" Sager let this one get away.

Better hope Whalin stays...

Big Congrats to Moose and the rest of the Johnson Program. You went in as an 8th seed a few years ago and knocked off #1 seed Tartan. Then today, you spot the Bears a 4 goal lead with a handful of minutes left in the game & win it OT. That's coaching! Way to represent the eastside mentality and for the kids who never gave up. Couldn't happen to a better guy and to a person who has done so much for kids. You just added another chapter in many people's lives today. Good luck on Weds!

It won't make a difference. With his lack of effort, and the "slim pickings" that they will have next year, I see turmoil if he stays. Keep in mind he left to play with Woodbury his second year of bantams.

Also a shout out to the Govie goalie. For an 8th grader, I thought he got better as the game went on.

I have never been on the "down with Sager bandwagon", but after his performance today, he ha to go.

Apple Valley was another #2 seed losing right away.

No way! He beat Hill who was ranked #1 in the State. He was named Coach of the Year last year. I say he has earned another 10-15 yrs!

All of us old Eastsiders are happy this afternoon. Herb Brooks must be smiling from above. I know the days of the Johnson teams that had great section battles with Harding in the 60s-70s and HM in the 80s are gone forever. This one does resurrect Johnson hockey at least for one afternoon. Congrats to Coach Younghans and his team.

I'm sorry I took a pass on the games at Aldrich today. I will be there Wednesday and Friday at the Coliseum.

It's also a bonus for us HM folks. We get to have a crooked grin for WBL's demise following Tim Sager's stupid 'slim pickings' comments earlier this week. How are we going to get that streak back to 14 if we only play once a year?

I dunno, 14 years of dominance is fine with me
