Well well well Slap Shot.....here we are again.  Another Edina-Minnetonka game in March!  Finally  get to see the game again we missed out on in 2018.

I do have to say though, I don't think this is really that great of an Edina team.  Tonka is flat out better, but anything can happen in one game.  But I'm expecting Tonka to come out on top, 3-1, 4-1 with an empty netter possibly.  Still, just another feather in the cap of Lake Conference domination that has been around the past 13-14 years.

Think about it since 2009: EP wins in 2009, Edina beats Tonka in 2010, EP wins again in 2011, Edina wins in 2013 & 2014, Wayzata beats EP in 2016, Tonka wins in 2018, Edina beats EP in 2019, EP wins in 2021.  And now either Edina or Minnetonka defeat the other in 2023.  That is some SEC football stuff right there.

@doc-holliday

I think you underrate your Hornets.  They started 0-3 without Clark but since then have gone 22-3, play very well both ways, only lost by 1 to Tonka a few weeks ago, and are playing as good as any team in the state.  Plus iirc Tonka has never beat Edina in either a section or state final so they need to get that monkey off their back.  Crossing my fingers. ?

That was a very fun "Semi-final Friday" of hockey. "A" games were much more of the nail biter type, but overall it was a tremendously enjoyable day. Picks for today are Mahtomedi and Edina.

Feels like this has happened in every game all tourney. Warroad takes a lead late in the first and Maht responds shortly after to tie it.

Also Jim Erickson is so much better than LaPanta it's a joke.

He does a REALLY nice job on the play-by-play. Also works smoothly with whoever is doing color, be it Clymer, Parrish or Louie.

Doubtful.

Maht got one back so its 3-2 heading into the 3rd. Should be a good finish unless Maht is out of gas.

I mean its the right call on the disallowed goal. he hits him in the blue paint. evev if you think the goalie movement is unnatural or that he initiated, he still has the right to the crease

wild back and forth 3rd. Maht player is lucky he didn't pick up a misconduct but happy the ref let it go. 

Warroad playing a very dangerous style with just trying to hole up and play D

Warroad dman pushed the Maht kid into the goalie. Making that call in live action is defensible, sticking with that call after seeing a replay is just incompetence.

Is this gonna be another one of those "Full intermission/resurfacing and then it ends in less than a minute" deals? Kids on both squads look bushed. The "AA" final has a tall order this evening to try and match this one. Remarkable effort from both sides. "A shame one side has to lose" can seem cliched, but not in this case. Amazing.

Saw it as it happened. Security came and got him after about 5 plus minutes.

1-0 Tonka. The luckiest player I've ever seen gets another goal.

Yeah ok.

Anyway Edina isn't giving Tonka any room to move.  They are playing a very good game forcing just about every possession to the outside.  I don't see this ending as anything but a nail-biter.

Yikes.  Tonka defender whiffs on an easy clear and leaves a fat puck for Cowan to pot.  1-1 early in the 3rd.

Tonka needs to get back to playing their best hockey or they're going to find themselves behind.

In the closest thing you can have in hockey to Iowa vs. Sconnie...Edina hits the pipe with 30 seconds left and it rides the line but Tonka wins a game they were mostly outplayed in.

I cheered fir the refs...

THAT was incredible! Edina threw everything at Minnetonka in the closing moments.

That was one heck of a game.  Edina threw everything they could at Tonka and like a lot of tight games this one came down to one spectacular play (this time by Schultz) creating the separation goal.  Liked seeing the hugs in the handshake line - a lot of these kids have known each other for many years and I'm sure there's a lot of respect between them.

Ok now onto to the Gophers!

I probably say this every year, but that was an excellent tournament all the way around. Lots of individual talent, but it felt wide open like nearly any team could win in both classes. Some incredible individual performances. High school hockey remains alive and well.
