End of the first period

Ramsey leads 1-0 and has been the more dominant team. They lead in shots 11-9 and have dictated the pace. A late flurry by Kinnelon in front of the net almost led to a goal but they were unable to redirect a shot by Justin McLaughlin with about 10 seconds to go. Its a clean game, no penalties called on either team.

Kinnelon has to find a way to deal with Ramsey's three lines. While they aren't rotating them equally, the first and second line seem to get in there more often, that depth can prove a problem as the game goes on into the 2nd and 3rd periods.

Kinnelon had their chances, but if they want to win they are going to have to slow down Ramsey's attack. Allowing 11 shots is not characteristic of Kinnelon but it is what Ramsey does; throw the puck on net and hope good things happen. The key for the Colts will be the defensive adjustments made between periods.

The game is close, one goal is nothing, but should Ramsey get up by two, then matters will be more complicated. No penalties is another key; in a close game Kinnelon can't afford a key player to be off the ice. It just exacerbates the lack of depth that already exists.
