I like Rapids game down the home stretch, so I'll take them. I'm not as well versed on 218 hockey as others on here, so not much to add.

My apologies, Lee. Didn't realize you had set up a poll in another thread.

No problem. I'm not the one ordered by me to do 50 push ups!

Should be a fun one! In late January Rock Ridge edged GR 4-3 in Virginia. I would say GR is peaking right now but will it be enough? Rock ridge has some higher end players.
I'll take GR 4-3 this go around.

I’m going Rapids. I really like how they’ve looked the last 6 weeks. Early on this year they were pretty inconsistent finding the back of the net. They have shown they can score as the season wound down. They also played 4 goaltenders a lot this year. All of them were solid when they got the chance. I like where they are at right now.
I’ll be surprised if it’s not a 1 goal or EN or OT kind of game.

Winner of this game likely gets a Thursday game with either Moorhead, Minnetonka ( Chanhassen has a say yet), or possibly Edina.
Whoever wins tonight will need to play even better next week.
I’ll be following as close as possible tonight while waiting for my first grandson to be born. He could show up before the final whistle.
