With the Holiday Tournaments coming to a close and as we enter a New Year, it's time to resume our regular weekly "Big Games" contests. Most teams do not resume their regular schedule until later in the week, so for Week 9 we have a compressed and somewhat abbreviated schedule, starting Thursday. So, plenty of time to think about who you will think will win, and no excuse for not getting them all right!

Post your predicted results, with scores, by 6PM on Thursday, January 3rd!

Lakeville North 3, Lakeville South 2

Lakeville North scored all three of their goals in the first period and went on to beat rival Lakeville South 3-2. Lakeville North’s Alexis Joyce had a goal and an assist, as did Kalley Ravndalen for South. For the game the Panthers outshot the Cougars 25-13.

Our panel favored Lakeville North by a 14-5 margin. We have 20 total participants this week, but one did not enter a score for this game. Of the 14 who picked the Panthers to win there were 4 - mnhockey3535 (no surprise!), hockeyfan 87, FASTWHEATIE and woogieboogiewoogie - who also guessed the score and get the bonus…not a bad way to start out the week!

Still waiting on the outcome of our one other game tonight, Crookston vs. Roseau. In that one we have Roseau favored by a 14-6 margin...we'll see what happens.

From Roseau it was:

Roseau 5, Crookston 2

Five different players scored goals for Roseau as they defeat the Crookston Pirates, at home, by a 5-2 margin.

As mentioned in the post above 14 of 20 predicted the Rams would prevail, but only one – Otter – also got the score right. With just two games played I won’t post the full Leaderboard, but going into tomorrow night’s five games we have a three-way tie for first between our Holiday Tournament champion, mnhockey3535, and Otter and FASTWHEATIE. And another 10 are bunched right behind these three with two points apiece.
