The players were fired up, the crowd was bananas, and at one point the teams scored three goals in under 30 seconds. It may have been the last game of the season for the Riveters, but they made the Pride worry and work for it. The NWHL's 4th place team won their many fans' hearts all over again by clawing their way back from the previous day's 6-0 loss in a hair-raising game that, with a couple more bounces or penalties, might actually have gone either way.
Or could it? We're talking about the Pride, after all. But the Riveters who took the ice last night in Boston looked like a different team than the one that had been dramatically outshot and then shut out on Friday.
