2011 Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament

DE wins, man I was hoping to see WBL finally get that monkey off their back.

[jwmiller33]

The curse lives on for WBL! They will continue to be known as the "first round bye" of the state tourney

[quackersmacker]

It was a good game. Missed opportunities both ways, the better team won in the end. I predict DE over Edina tomorrow in another thrilling game. Go Hounds.

Dan Molenaar is looking good for Eden. Watch UND land this kid

[Shorelunch]

Great A semi-final game going on now. Hibbing was down 4-1 to Hermantown, ended 4-3 end of second. Should be an exciting third. Adam Johnson for Hibbing had a highlight reel goal - he's a Soph.

[Bear55]

Yep great game, tied 4-4 now and that Johnson kid actually scored all 3 goals to tie it up.

[Bear55]

Good game, Hermantown took the lead and then got an empty net at the end. Too bad, I was hoping to see a little OT.

Channel 45, please bring in HD cameras for the MN High School Hockey tournament.

Thanks

the hermantown/hibbing game was a great one to watch and had a great atmosphere at the X. I stuck around and watched the STA/TRF game and the chants between the crowd sections were more entertaining than the actual game itself! the game had very little flow and wasn't very fun to watch.

[OnAFly]

This Edina/Duluth E. game is a good one. It should be about 4-2 DE, but they've missed a few very good opportunities.

[jwmiller33]

Edina's goalie looks really good tonight, as well as last night. He looks like D1 material

[tonkapat]

What a great game. Congrats to DE. Better than watching the pros anyday. Looked to be plenty of D1 talent on the ice.

[quackersmacker]

Great game no matter who you like! Once again the better team won. If Eden Prarie can hold on it will be a good final. As far as single A, I hope the Hawks can slow down St. thomas and come out on top. East and Hibbing have young teams so the future looks bright. I cant wait to see Adam Johnson as a senior! Go North!

Wait until the University of Eden Prairie hits the ice. Keep an eye open for hot hockey moms also.

This kid is going to be one of the top players in the state in the next 2 years. He looked great out there today.

[DTro]

Surprised to see Hermantown laying the smackdown to STA.

FYI, ch439 on Comcast is HD.

[Bryce]

Good hockey. OT x 2. Glad the fridge is stocked. This looks to be going for awhile.

[DTro]

It's a beautiful thing. Hope East pulls it off. They have outplayed EP.

[Bear55]

Incredible game so far, no matter who wins this game is will go down as a classic.

[cbrooks]

Nice play by Rau

[DTro]

WOW

[cbrooks]

Kyle Rau pronounce WOW.

[Bear55]

Wow is right, 1 second you think the D cleared the puck and 1/10 of a second later and its in the net, crazy end to a great game.

[Bryce]

Live action made that goal look weak. Replay showed an incredible effort by Rau. Saw a blurb that he gave up ushl? at last minute to play senior year. Has he declared a college? Hopefully Sioux. Gotta think he goes high in the draft.

Come on Bryce you should already know he is a Gopher, they have only mentioned it a couple dozen times this weekend. Don't count on him oing too high in the draft, he's 5'8" and 160. I still think he would have a chance to out score Miettinen if he had played on the Wild's first line this year.
