My money is on Pennsbury though. They have more high end talent, and got a wake-up call on Monday after they lost to Holy Ghost 6-0. I just think because of that loss, they come out even more fired up to play CR North. I think it will be close and physical the whole way. Looks like these 2 teams are building a rivalry which will likely continue when Pennsbury joins the Suburban full time.
Should be interesting. North hasn't been playing well lately, and Pennsbury got crushed on Monday, but I know both teams have been waiting for this game for a while. I think the game comes down to each team's second and third lines. When you look at each team's line up, both have an outstanding first line, strong goaltending, and an above average defense. If either team's second or thrid line gets a goal or two it will be the difference in the game. Remember, last game only the top lines for each team scored and it was a one goal game.
I must go with Pennsbury by a long shot in this one. One of the first line players from North was injured in the SHSHL all-star game against the Eastern League and is doubtful for this game. Pennsbury will be fired up following the loss to HGP. Combine those two factors with the fact that Pennsbury is just the deeper team, how can anyone predict anything other than a Pennsbury win?

please explain what u mean.
both left to hospital mid-second period. Barnes with seperated shoulder a Gannon with a possibly severe knee injury.
hope you sleep well at night.
I had a great night of sleep last night.
Didnt see the plays. If they were clean plays in a physical game, thats the nature of the beast.
If they were cheap shots, which is what im gathering, then Im sure the players who took cheap shots will have their day too.
Thats not out of line, just the way hockey works. Can you elaborate on how they were hurt? I wasnt at the game, just heard from people that were there.
They were not cheap plays. Barnes got hooked and went down funny. There was a hooking minor called and rightfully so, but there was nothing malicous or dirty about it. Not sure what happened to Gannon. It was a great game and was not dirty at all.
