Who wins the rematch (and likely second of three games this season)?

Posted: **Mon Jan 12, 2015 10:45 am**

I'll say Bemidji wins in OT, 3-2.

Posted: **Mon Jan 12, 2015 10:47 am**

Moorhead, just to muddy things up a bit, 4-3

Posted: **Mon Jan 12, 2015 11:37 am**

Moorhead just isn't very deep and will lose 4-2 to the Jacks. Goaltending is the ? for Bemidji

Posted: **Mon Jan 12, 2015 11:48 am**

Jacks are better and they will win.

What's the impact of injuries? Will Bemidji be significantly hampered?

Posted: **Mon Jan 12, 2015 12:42 pm**

This should be a tight one either way. Bemidji took the lead with 2 1/2 minutes left in the game back in December and then got an open net goal. Shots were pretty equal. Both teams have improved since that game but I think the Spuds quality of schedule since might be a factor. Should be a great battle!

Bemidji will not have a first line winger, everyone else is healthy to my knowledge (as of Saturday).

So why is goaltending the question for Bemidji? Both are seniors. Both playing well. 14 game streak. What's the question?

Goaltending is not and never has been the problem with this particular duo.
Grant Theraldson is the number one goalie for the Jacks and is a leader in the state. Garret Attaberry, the backup, would be the starter for many teams in MN.

I do not know 'offtheglass' and have no idea why he would say that.

Bemidji played without a starting wing and a second line winger.

Both will probably miss the rest of the week.

Bemidji plays with heart. I swear every kid on the ice takes it on themselves if they give up a goal. Tharldson is a solid goalie. I'm not taking anything away from him because he is a fine goalie and very technical. The way the D plays in Bemidji is clear. Push everything outside and take away angles, forwards backcheck better than any. To sum up this game I would say Moorhead was beat by intensity and desire. If the Jack's keep that going all year they could make a run at a state title!

I can appreciate your enthusiasm, but I highly doubt it since they would probably draw Lakeville North in the first round of the tourney. If they could upset LN, then I'd believe.

But yes, Bemidji will definitely be the #1 seed in the section tourney and deservedly so. Congrats Jacks!

Likely draw Lakeville North in the first round of the tourney? Only the top 5 teams are seeded. So if you're assuming Bemidji wouldn't get one of those 5 seeds they'd have a 33% chance of drawing Lakeville North. I'd say that means that they'd likely draw #2 or #3.

Well that would be by luck of the draw.
My guess is they will be the 5 cede, if every thing plays out the way I see it.

They need to win there next two games if they want the 5 seed. At the very least they need to beat EGF again.
They might need a bit of luck in my eyes. Lakeville North, Edina, STA, Elk River, Hill or WBL and EP, BSM or Wayzata (if they can turn it around) from 6AA are ahead of them.
The big three all have easier sections this year and I would be surprised to see one of them out. From there you need an upset of Elk River, which is probably the best possibility, but also one more surprise team.
On top of that, they still have to beat Moorhead for a 3rd time in one season.

Cities Spud is the one putting them at the X, not me.
Bemidji is better than WBL (Hill), BSM (Wayzata) and probably ER.
But yes, upsets make it more feasible.

I didn't put them at the X, GOALIEPOPS did it first and I just followed up on that.

Don't forget strength of schedule. Bemidji hasn't beaten anybody noteworthy because of that (yes, I'm including Moorhead).

If you look at Karl's rankings, Bemidji is only ranked ahead of one other current section top seed (Blaine). They won't get one of the top 5 seeds if all of the #1's make it.

Posted: **Wed Jan 14, 2015 6:14 pm**

It's a good thing the coaches vote and, yes, all the #1's will not make it.
And Karl does a nice job, but he has that DEast mentality and (now) lives in the Cities and is slipping into that Cidiot status.

Posted: **Wed Jan 14, 2015 6:15 pm**

Sorry city spuds.
Some Bemidji fans are as careless as GR and Luverne fans.

Posted: **Wed Jan 14, 2015 6:44 pm**

I'm not trying to rain on Bemidji fans' parade. I'll be cheering for the Jacks if they make it to the X too. The time seems to be right for the Moorhead/Roseau streak in this section to come to an end. And you're probably right that not all the #1 section seeds will make it. That doesn't happen very often. So yes, the Jacks could get one of the top 5 seeds then.
