One small correction. CHS played Fargo North the first game of the season. North won 2 - 1 but were outshoot 40-28. Here's the deal, I was at the BHS bottineau game two weeks ago. BHS lost in OT but in my opinion, BHS played the better game. BHS did everything but score which can happen some nights. Bottineau has a nice team but they won't won't be able to hang with CHS. Just like last season, get Bott out of their barn and have them play on a bigger sheet of ice, they look average at best. They only have two solid lines and they skate the crap out of them. Come west region time and having to play three games back to back to back, Bott will run out of gas. CHS will win by 3-4 goals. Bott will finish the regular season with the 2nd seed, lose in the semis to BHS, and play Jamestown in the play in game. Jamestown comes out on top this time having lost to Bott in two very close games early in the season. Your west region teams heading to state will look something like this; CHS / BHS (1 or 2), Minot (3), Jamestown (4).
