The top teams in each class meet in what will likely be an amazing game. These two played last year in the 3rd place game with Edina winning 3-2. St Thomas graduated 4 seniors last year and Edina graduated even less, so they are clearly the favorite going into Wednesday's game.

The only other meeting between the two in recent history was in the first round of the 2006 Silver Cup where Edina won 4-3 and went on to win the tournament.

Should be a great game between the great offensive power of the Hornets and the shutdown defense of the Cadets.

Edina 5-3

Edina - 5
Cadets -1

I think Edina will win but would be surprised to see more than 3 goals against such a strong defense and goaltender.

Will take Edina in a 2-0 game.

Can't wait for this tilt. Especially now that the Cadets have finally decided to play with the big boys next year.

Hornets are just too deep.
5-2

Really looking forward to this game. I think Edina sneaks by STA 2-1. STA is the real deal. Expect them to compete for the AA title next year

I'll go out on a limb and take STA(A) over the cake eaters 3-2. Where did the bashing tread go? I need it for this game.

Anyone know if this game is going to be streamed anywhere?

Do we know what Section STA will be playing in next year? I'll take STA in the upset.

Edina 4-2

Cadets get put in their place in this one. STA's sophomore depth is no match for the senior depth the Hornets bring to the table.

Edina 6, STA 1

I will take STA over Edina 3-2. Think STA's defense and goaltending better.

You do realize these are virtually the same rosters as last year when these two met and Edina won 3-2?

Except STA's leading scorer is new to the team this year, I'm not sure about Edina, could be similar...

I've seen your rankings, so I realize you don't let the facts stand in the way of your posts, but you do realize that Krieger, Commers and Schurhamer (3 of their top 5 players) are no longer at St. Thomas, right? And that the Top 2 St. Thomas scorers this year are both sophomores? Right?

Just checkin. You seem to be in your own little world out there, somewhere on the outskirts of reality, so I'm getting a little worried about you.

You are right about Edina though. They bring back their best players from a year ago and they do have an unstoppable look about them.

WHEN St. Thomas does lose though, I wouldn't suggest dropping them 10 places in your little rankings

I love the sophs from St Thomas but as they say in Jersey "fo-GET-abouttit"...

EDINA 9
St Thomas 2

St Thomas goalies have seen a combined 12 shots all year...it's going to be a pinball game out there in this one...EDINA big in a blowout.

St Thomas lost 4 players to graduation.
Edina lost 1 player to graduation and 1 to juniors.

How is that not virtually the same rosters as last year?

Take a look at my comments from here:

I know what's going on and gave (still do) Edina the edge.

I still say, winner of this game wins it all.

Huh?

Good luck to both teams tonight!

Should be a great game. Cake is too much though, 5-3 Hornets

ummm, Edina returns it's best players from last year and St. Thomas lost most of theirs. In fact, 3 of their top 5 players, Krieger, Commers and Schurhamer.

I realize math is not your strong suit, but that's a 60% turnover on the Cadets top line, replaced mostly by sophomores. Edina returns intact at the top of the roster. If that equates to a repeat of last year, then your rankings are starting to make sense

The Cadets will be fine and no doubt win the Class A Tournament again this year, but they will likely lose 2 games this week at Schwanns (and AT LEAST one) and this game won't be close. Hornets by 4 or 5

yup. A legend in your own mind. In the now famous words of our illustrious leader, please ... PROCEED

Cakeaters by 2, EN included.

0-0 after 1. STA has a one shot advantage, 8-7 with one going off the cross bar. Edina starts the 2nd with 1:30 or so left on the PP.

0-0 after 2.

No score after 2. Impressed with STA defense but thought they would have more offense. Neither team has had many, if any, quality scoring chances.

1-1 with a little over 5 minutes left.

Just about to watch that Edina goal and a Pinnacle Vodka commericial came on!....ugghh...
