East dominates the whole game, then they give up huge scoring chances. They need to clean that up if they want to win this thing

Give andover credit they played under tough circumstances against a very good team. As for people complaining about east second period I dont think whe have seen there best hockey yet. But I think its coming .

I would disagree. They looked pretty good against Maple Grove during the second period back in January.

Yes, that period was probably the best they've played all year. Probably one of the best periods in program history.

But they have indeed come out rather flat in second periods lately--tonight, the Elk River game, and against Cloquet a few weeks ago.

They won't get beat. They might lose,? BUT no one beats them this year !!! Nice team way to go East.

Congratulations to East on making it back to the show. They did what they had to in taking advantage of a young team in the spotlight for the first time. Andover was clearly a herd of deer in headlights in the first period, being outscored 2-0 an outshot 17-4. They just didn't move their feet.

Then I give credit to Andover for waking up and playing a little bit. From the start of the second period until the Hounds scored the fourth goal, the shots were 18-15 and the scoring chances were pretty equal. East was clearly the better team overall.

So both teams got out of it what they needed. East is headed to State as a big favorite and Andover has a bunch of underclassmen who just got the experience of playing in a Section Final that will serve them well next year when all but 4 of them (hopefully) return.
