I am not as optimistic as oldtimer about the game. It may have been first game jitters, but I saw some lazyness on the part of a few Fargo South "studs", not including #4 Jake McDougall, who seems to have a nose for the puck. The two teams matched up well against eachother, both who seemed to be running two lines and occationally rotating in the third. South does not have the depth that has been reported by some. Graftons goalie was shakey, but their young guys seemed to step up and make some plays. During the second period it seemed like Grafton had a penatly kill everytime I looked up at the score board. Grafton seemed to get tired playing a guy short, and thats when a couple chincy goals started. The referees seemed to be calling a lot of clutching and grabing penaltys like they have advertised, but it came off a little lop-sided. Anyway, South is the better team, but I am sure both will do fine this year. Good luck.
