best post-season rivalries

(to be continued)

Up to this point this is the best rivalry. Unfortunately I do not have any historical knowledge of this rivalry (I'm a Twin Citian), but this edges out the WBL/Hill-Murray rivalry for the top spot.

#2
Hill-Murray vs. White Bear

Hill-Murray has a sizeable record lead, but nearly 50 percent of the games are by one-goal with numerous going to OT. How White Bear is able to maintain such a close game-to-game rivalry despite being on the lower end of the talent pool is really a hard one to pinpoint. A few of the highlight games that stick out for me are the 1988 game where Hill was up 4-0 before WBL stormed back to force a second OT before getting their hopes dashed. Or Bonin’s team blowing a 3-0 lead and losing to Hill in the ’91 Region final. Or ’96, where WBL (11-16-1) really had no business on paper even making it to the state tourney, winning a game some described as the greatest upset in all of sectional history. That year the team took home 6th place despite being outshot 107-53 at state. (Keep the name “Landon Luther” in your memory bank.) Whether it’s with or without the Skrypek and Bonin era’s, WBL seems to always give Hill-Murray fits at sectionals.
