From White Bear to Bloomington...great pics and great games

Metro Edition

Saturday, YHH checked the oil and filled the car with gas and hit the road early to see games in White Bear Lake and Bloomington. Meanwhile up north, we took in two games in Crosby, MN. The Fergus Falls Otters took on Northern Lakes in Bantams and Northern Lakes hosted Greenway in PeeWee A. A full report on that double header tomorrow.


Rosemount's last shot to win pops over the cage.

PeeWee Action

AM: Wild morning in PeeWees. Rosemount goes up 3-0 on Andover, falls behind 5-3 and then ties game 5-5 in final minute. Connor Kenefick scores with 1:42 left. In the opposite rink, Blaine and Minnapolis fought to a lot less dramatic 2-2 tie. Both teams had mad rushes at the end to win that fell short. Eight points were secured by eight players.

Scores

Rosemount vs. Andover (5-5), Edina > Centennial (4-0), Minneapolis vs. Blaine (2-2), OMG > WBL (4-2), Duluth East > Eden Prairie (6-3), and Prior Lake > Woodbury (6-4).

PM: Eight teams had a good shot a the final four heading into the final stage of pool play. Andover and Edina fought until the end, when Edina got a third period goal to win their pool. Minneapolis beat Woodbury by a 10-1 score earning them the #1 seed and OMG won their pool with a 5-3 win over EP. Blaine, with a substitute goalie, was the Wild Card earning seven points along with the other three pool winners. 

Scores

WBL > Duluth East (3-1), Rosemount > Centennial (8-5), MPLS > Woodbury (10-1), OMG > EP (5-3), Edina > Andover (4-3) and Blaine > Prior Lake (6-1)

Picks: Edina > OMG, MPLS > Blaine, MPLS > Edina (staying true to Thursday's choice...and my roots).

Bantam Action


Hayden Brickner tips in a goal for Centennial Saturday.

AM: Edina scored on a tip in with seven seconds left to beat OMG to set the table for a repeat win this year. Meanwhile in the Bremer Rink, Centennial flexed their muscles with a nice 4-0 win over Tonka. Jefferson squeaked past Hermantown 2-1 in the C Pool...leaving very little drama except the tie breaker for the Wild Card Spot.

Scores

Centennial > Tonka (4-0), Jefferson > Hermantown (2-1), Edina > OMG (3-2), Eden Prairie vs. Duluth East (5-5), Elk River > Prior Lake (7-1), and WBL > Woodbury (5-1)

PM: Elk River came into their final game against Edina with 12 goal differential knowing that if they lost to Edina, they still had a good shot at the FInal 4. Tonka had a 0 goal differential heading into their game against Duluth East. The Skippers took care of business winning 10-1 getting the full 6 goal maximum allowed. Meanwhile over at the Sports Center, Edina was taking it to Elk River, winning 7-2. The five goal loss still earned the Elks a spot in the Final Four against Jefferson, who later Saturday beat Woodbury 5-0 to earn the #1 seed.

Scores

Tonka > Duluth East (10-1), Edina > Elk River (7-2), Jefferson > Woodbury (5-0), Centennial > Eden Prairie (2-1), Hermantown vs. WBL (2-2), and Prior Lake > OMG (3-1).

Picks: Edina > Centennial, Elk River > Jefferson, Edina > Elk River

In other action Saturday, Edina Green thwarted Jefferson 2-0. Miles Dorsey and Trevon Couser each scored for the Hornets and star Goalie Drew Herzer turned away 29 shots to earn the shutout in Bantam B. The Green Hornets control their destiny in District 6 with the win Saturday, knowing if they win their remaining 4 games, they will win the league and first round by in the playoffs.
