OK all you experts

Can EGF's defense keep Blaine's scoring total low?

Will my Alma Mater small town team be able to keep up and possibly win?

I will be there tonight and will post when I can.

Comments on the game?

A team that can get shots on egf's goalie will beat them.

Expect Blaine to get a lot of shots.

Blaine by 3

Blaine 7-4

EGF is currenlty allowing just over 10 shots on goal PER GAME

I know Blaine is pretty good offensively, but, I cannot see them scoring 7.

I expect a very low scoring game that could go either way.

Not sure how to score it yet.

anyone know if there will be a stream for this game?

No offense, Blaine by 4

Do you think Blaine will enter tonights game with an advantage or disadvantage after playing Anoka the night before? Tired legs or they just got warmed up?

Blaine wins. Blaine deep with scoring up front and solid in back.

But they really haven't played a tough team yet either.

Egf has a long bus ride today, so it's a wash there.

Or perhaps the 5 hour bus ride will effect EGF????


Sorry, Puckbreath, did not see your post.

That is true. Long bus ride, long day. Still should be a fun game to watch. [/b]

Well, Totino is not too bad, even though they lost last night to Delano.
EGF shut em out and allowed only 12 shots on goal.

Not a problem elliott70.

Blaine 5-3

Blaine played all of their kids last night V Anoka and will be rested. They come at you in waves with speed and skill. Goaltending is there issue. They might get 5-7 goals but give up 3-4. Not sure a non-private A school would have enough to beat the sheer numbers Blaine can throw at you and the dreaded bus ride...

Blaine 3-2

Or.........

EGF 3 -2

REALLY wish this game was being played in East Grand...

But I'll go Blaine over East Grand 3-1

Blaine 5 EGF 3

Blaine takes too many penalties.

Is this game being streamed on the internet anywhere?

Competition is a fair question. But not as one sided as you might think, EGF played Totino and both Grand Forks Schools. They would be year in, year out, AA teams in Minnesota.

EGF's goalies have not really been tested. And while Blaine won't control the pace or tempo, EGF is extremely deep for a public A, school.

I think EGF can put up offense but they haven't had to and have put so much emphasis on D that it may benefit them to have to open it up. They might have the best Defensive corp in the state and unless they have a goalie melt down, even in a wide open game I don't see them giving up more than 4 goals.

I've watched a lot of ND high school hockey. Both the Fargo and GF schools.

Even on their best year, they would not be a MN AA team.

MN hockey is a step above ND hockey, especially at the HS level.
