Hermantown flops to draw a hooking call, presumably because they’ve decided they’re not unlikeable enough.

Keep your stick on the ice...

Hermantown scores on the PP 5-2
Staying out of the box may be a neat idea, Mahtomedi.

My father and I chat a lot during the tournament. After they made it 4-2 he told me “Kids are juiced now. Someone’s going to be too aggressive and take a penalty.”
As I was reading it the whistle blew. 😂
Zephs score 3-5 They are not quitting
Centennial Kicked the snot out of RCJM this afternoon 8-2

WHAT A GAME
Unbelievable!!!
Every game goes to OT!!! 🤣 👍
People often say certain teams shouldn't be in Class A but the games are sure a lot of fun.
Wow. One of the more entertaining games from this tournament in a while. A testament to why this the best weekend ever.
Comeback comes up short. Hermantown pots one with a minute left
I have a coworker that saw all 7 Hermantown goals but none of the Mahtomedi ones. If I had known this I would not have told him that it went to OT. Hawks scored seconds after he tuned back in.
It did turn out to be an entertaining game...And if Hermantown had blown a 4 goal lead & lost, they'd use that as a reason to delay moving up to AA until 2094 😮I have a coworker that saw all 7 Hermantown goals but none of the Mahtomedi ones.

Old news here but the Hornets really have no problem being the bully, do they?
Unfortunately, this is the tournament we get when there are big upsets in sections. Two teams are head and shoulders above everyone else and it shows.
The 6 best teams in the State were in Section 2 and Section 6
Section 2
Chanhassen beats Shakopee 4-2 (empty net goal) in the semifinals and Minnetonka 2-1 in the finals
Section 6
Edina beats Benilde St. Margaret's 2-1 (scoring with 12 seconds left in the 3rd) in the semifinals and Wayzata 4-1 in the finals
Geezus Edina what are you doing? Penalties that are so intentional for what?
If Edina has a mental lapse like they did in the third period of this one, I think Chanhassen buries them.
So Edina ChaCha tomorrow?
I’m out of town and can’t keep track
Yes.
Class A: St. Cloud Cathedral vs. Hermantown
Class AA: Chanhassen vs. Edina
Geezus Edina what are you doing? Penalties that are so intentional for what?
No doubt. Giles could not be happy with that 2nd & 3rd period. I thought Grand Rapids got away with some stuff that could have been called, but Edina's were not only all penalties & the right calls, they were stupid penalties. Maybe they got bored?
I'd have to think the message is play smart tonight. If they do, it will be a fantastic game. If not, Chanhassen will win.
We pretty much knew this in November; whoever emerged out of 2AA & 6AA would most likely be the final.
Edina has always been skilled and chippy. Hill Murray too, although I've seen less of them the last several years.
I know it would never happen, but dream scenario for me would be to get rid of the 2 class tournament. Have a single tournament with a 16 team field. No section tournaments, just have it so that the top 16 teams ranked at the end of the year are the teams that make the tournament. This would no doubt showcase the best tournament that Minnesota high school hockey has to offer.

I could see doing this overall with the AA schools, but for A they don’t have the depth to hold up against AA, no matter how good their top end is because of how school sizes have gotten, especially if you’re playing these games on consecutive days.
Refs refusing to call a penalty on the hawks
2-0 SCC late. Great shot. Going to be a mountain for the Hawks now
Make it 3-0 SCC!

3-0 Cloud. 5 minutes left

I mentioned this at the tournament all weekend long. It’s always seems like private schools and northern schools are the cheapest. Though last night Edina only got chippy after Grand Rapids started to play chippy.
Keep your stick on the ice...

Nice win for SCC.....plus their St. Paul Saints throwback jerseys are wicked awesome.

St. Cloud Cathedral and Mahtomedi need somebody to beat in the Class A tournament to make the tournament more interesting.
