In a fairytale ending to the regular season, the New York Riveters toppled the mighty Pride at home in the Hockey House. Boston came into Sunday’s contest 16-0, having not lost a game since January 3, 2016, and left with, well, perhaps a little less Pride. Not only did they lose, they never even led, testament to how far the Rivs have come this year — and to what they might still accomplish.
The upset seemed to be in the cards, considering that it almost happened last week, when they lost to Boston 4-3 after being ahead 2-0.
