Thanks for letting me know about seeding for sections. I guess I learn something new everyday. Though I'll stand firm on why they don't seed the Tourney 1-8 and only 1-5. My source, which seems to always be ahead of the curve in things Tourney related and hasn't proven me wrong in over 20 years.
There have also been many shenanigans over the years with letting the coaches seed their sections. The banter can be entertaining, but I haven't followed it as closely over the years. I feel like sometimes the private schools get slighted by the public school coaches and there have always been some odd things in the northern sections like 7AA where Andover might be given the tougher road to favor Grand Rapids or Duluth East making it... or 8AA where Elk River would have to play all their games in Moorhead or Roseau.

Welcome to the annual weekend where an uncommitted player gets hot and everyone thinks he should be a Gopher.
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.
The guy doing the PxP - what's his normal gig if he has one when not doing this tournament?
He'd be so much better than LaPants for Wild games.
Warroad goes up 1-0 with a nice backhand goal off a rebound.
does directv have the games and if so what channel?

I have DirecTv and live outstate, and it is not part of the my subscription. I bought a Roku a few years ago and I stream the tourney through that.

Pretty sure he is a morning DJ for BOB.
The only suspense left in this game is will Warroad have more goals than New Ulm will have shots....
Now Warroad tried to do the lacrosse goal. I hate them as much as Hermantown...

As I’m sure most predicted, the third period will be running time. Unless New Ulm manages to both start scoring AND start not being scored on.
Rooting for northfield and think they could upset st.cloud. 1A always comes in an underdog but they got a good taste last year and that experience this year will help. Their program has come a long ways, when we played them in squirt level many years ago they were the only team we could beat, then they became the one to beat.
75 attempted shots by Warroad, and yes, Warroad did end up with 8 goals vs New Ulm's 6 SOG
B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

kam hendrickson is my pick. will undoubtedly be a ton bringing him up if Chan wins state given our goalie situation. has already been happening.

Surprised they only got off 6 SOG, especially if Warroad was skating more of their 3rd and 4th lines mid 3rd.

yikes for that start from the goaltender.
And then Northfield ties it up while my system is stuck buffering, so I lost it on the refresh.
EDIT: Just saw the replay, not quite as bad of a misplay as the first goal, but, same kind of thing.

St. Cloud got "Monsoned." #kingpin
Both goals were off horrible turnovers by the goalies
Move up Warroad
Northfield getting a ton of chances End of 1 1-1
Northfield can’t win a draw to save their lives, but other than that look good.
@team2tank Weird to see the last title they won was in 2005
Warroad has the smallest enrollment amongst the Class A schools at the Tourney. Maybe Mahtomedi, Alex and Northfield should move up with enrollments over 1,000. Even Orono is pushing 1,000.
Keep your stick on the ice...
SCC up 2-1 7 left in the 2nd
SCC takes a 3-1 lead on the Power play 5 left in the 2nd
Bad call that led to the power play for St. Cloud and their 3rd goal...more of a push than a cross check.
After 2 SCC 3 NF 1
4-1 SCC
4-1 SCC with about 9 to play

Gillespie for scc with the pretty one of the day to put northfield to bed.
Me thinks this game is over 5-1 SCC with 5 minutes left.
Two snoozers for the afternoon... and watch Alex upset Hermantown tonight.

Bummer. Northfield carried much of the play in the first half of the game. That must have been all that was in the tank.
SCC 5 NorthField 1 Final
Warroad vs SC
Last time they played SC beat 3-2 up in Warroad
Bummer. Northfield carried much of the play in the first half of the game. That must have been all that was in the tank.
Well, their regular season schedule does see a very healthy dose of some struggling Big Nine conference programs, so their big dogs aren't always playing three full periods.

We can only hope. Knowing Hermantown they will be up 8-0 in the 3rd and still play their 1st and 2nd lines non stop
I can discuss why or why not Hermantown should opt to AA with a non Hermantown fan anytime. I see both sides of the argument. Though trying to discuss it with a Hermantown fan is like herding cats. For Hermantown it's all about trophies and banners. They want to be seen as the most decorate high school for hockey in Minnesota. Regardless of the challenge and opponents, a yearly trip to StP is very important to them. And the funny thing about it all. If they did opt up to AA. They might not get to StP 12/13 years, but they probably get to StP 6+/13 times, especially how 7AA has been trending and have lots more respect from the non Hermantown fans.

Hermantown team being original with the bleach hair.
Keep your stick on the ice...
Hermantown with 2 Francisco’s on their roster. And to John Francisco that played for UMD?

Like Northfield, Alexandria ran out of gas in the middle frame.

yeah this one looks like it’ll be a somewhere between 7-10 to 0
Alex - Hermantown ended 6-0. Alex hung with them for a while but could not keep up as the game went on...
Mahtomedi - Orono has been a terrific game.
