Oh, hockey, you were supposed to be there to soothe our wounds. Not make things worse.
Sunday afternoon, Boston College hockey dropped a maddeningly frustrating game to RPI by a score of 2-1 to finish off their season-opening trip to upstate New York.
As Joe mentioned in the instant reaction post, the game was entirely winnable. BC seemed to dominate time of possession and scoring chances but, incredibly, didn't find the back of the net until the third period.

It might seem like an overstatement that the first goal of the game was the turning point, but the way the second period had gone, it was a gut shot that BC wasn't able to recover from.
