Someone mentioned earlier about AV needs to roll 3 lines or they will be in trouble. In the Eagan/AV game both teams at the end were only rolling through their top 2 lines so it was just matching up. Apple Valley will need to avoid stupid penalties they took one against Eagan but have taken some throughout the year as well.

Hockeyjunkie2- Were you at the game? Apple valley's first two lines were dead in the third they couldnt get up and down the ice.. Need to have confidence in playing all three lines if they are going to take down woodbury.. The third line has some speed but it is tough to use it when the coach keeps you on the bench..

Goaltending will decide this game two good ones in Ness and Gretz!

Much like it was decided in last years semifinal game.

Woodbury is on a mission, Ness is the difference maker in this one though, WOODBURY 3 Apple Valley 1.

After watching the games at the target center last night I hope this one is not as lop sided as those two!

I'll say it again, I see Woodbury winning the whole thing this year.

Woodbury 2-0

As much as I would like to see Woodbury win, something tells me that it's going to be a repeat of last years semifinal game. Apple Valley by a goal this year.

Nice job by the Pioneer Press. They list Apple Valley vs Cretin.

Nice to see that Woodbury junior Christian Turner has been able to dress and warm up with the team in both the quarterfinals and semifinals.

No scoring after the first period of play.

Apple Valley starts the scoring in the 2nd...

Apple Valley goes in to the 3rd period with a 1-0 lead

Shots 22-19 for AV....

Woodbury just can't seem to beat any team outside of their conference this season. The only wins I noticed were against Tartan and Eastview.

Fasching his 2nd, and now Valley gets another at 7:13 of 3rd..

3-0 Apple Valley... Tough to see our SEC teams fold.... Sounds like Woodbury ran into a pretty tough goalie...

Sad night for the Woodbury team which is almost all seniors. I think it will be many moons before you see a Woodbury team finish above .500. ER will probably be better than them next year.

WOW !! Where did these guys come from ?? Hudson Fasching and AV are going to be beast the next couple of years...this makes Eagan's loss look better for sure...

so the top 4 teams in the Lake get knocked out...EP, Jefferson, Eagan and Burnsville and then Apple Valley come out of nowhere...gotta love this time of year !!!

4-0 Valley... Michaelson, I believe empty netter.. You're right, HHF.... Awesome time of year.

I was pulling for the Royals...

Apple Valley just knocked Woodbury hockey back to the dark ages. Only 2 returning players next year. And the pipeline of Woodbury Bantam A talent going to East Ridge is 2 or 3 times bigger than the pipeline going to Woodbury High School. Bolin knows this and will most likely go somewhere else.

As far as the seniors on the team, unfortunately they have a long history of "not getting it done" when playoff time rolls around.

Good luck to valley at the X!!!

What an absolute disappointing year for Woodbury.

Hey Happy, this is the same group of AV kids that have given Eagan a tough time for years at the peewee and bantam levels. Makes for some great battles between them in the coming years.
