<p>Eagles fall to 1-1-0</p> <p>Oh, hockey, you were supposed to be there to soothe our wounds. Not make things worse.</p>
<p>Sunday afternoon, Boston College hockey dropped a maddeningly frustrating game to RPI <a href="http://www.collegehockeystats.net/1516/boxes/mbc_ren1.o11">by a score of 2-1</a> to finish off their season-opening trip to upstate New York.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bcinterruption.com/2015/10/11/9500049/rpi-defeats-boston-college-hockey-2-1">As Joe mentioned in the instant reaction post</a>, 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.</p>
<p><b>RPI Goal #1: 19:14 of the 2nd period<br> Riley Bourbonnais (Parker Reno, Evan Tironese)</b></p>
<p><b><i>RPI 1, BC 0</i></b></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2xn36bdEXoQ/VhrYXMLVccI/AAAAAAAAJhk/OqmQuTjfufk/s499-Ic42/1RPI.gif"></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The Eagles relentlessly peppered RPI goalie <span>Jason Kasdorf</span> for a span of about two minutes prior to this RPI goal, and it was unbelieveable that they weren't able to score. Then, after settling things down, RPI converted on a simple shot from the top of the faceoff circle that found its way through Demko (partially screened, perhaps?) to put BC down 1-0 at the very end of the 2nd.</p>
<p>With how much rubber BC was throwing at Kasdorf, and with BC's new young forwards, BC didn't feel out of yet just yet. But that would change quickly.</p>
<p><b>RPI Goal #2 (PPG, GWG): 3:02 of the 3rd period<br>Riley Bourbonnais (Evan Tironese, Jared Wilson)</b></p>
<p><b><i>RPI 2, BC 0</i></b></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5U4zWP8hNuI/VhrYalN_yjI/AAAAAAAAJhE/sZ-O596vVro/s499-Ic42/2RPI.gif"></p>
<p>Well. That's a nice play.</p>
<p>This is a 3 on 2 that was executed about as well as can be. Really well done by RPI.</p>
<p>As is often the case on these plays, it's a player who doesn't show up on the scoresheet that makes it all happen. In this case, it's #22 Bradley Bell. Instead of holding his spot looking for a pass that would probably end up being useless, he skates in hard toward the crease. This draws Scott Savage's attention long enough to allow the original puck carrier, Bourbonnais, to receive the give-and-go and take a shot that a D1 hockey player won't miss very often.</p>
<p>The good news for BC was that it was early enough that the Eagles would be able to attempt a comeback, and they would give it the old college try.</p>
<p><b>Boston College Goal #1 (PPG): 8:36 of the 3rd period<br>Zach Sanford (Teddy Doherty, <span>Alex Tuch</span>)</b></p>
<p><b><i>RPI 2, BC 1 -- FINAL</i></b></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MGznrrmM8wU/VhrYdNNlljI/AAAAAAAAJhw/3TsXJwMaygY/s499-Ic42/3Sanford.gif"></p>
<p>After some of the chances BC had earlier, this goal was a bit anti-climactic. But it came on a power play that the Eagles absolutely had to convert on to stay in the game, and they finally managed to crack Kasdorf.</p>
<p>Doherty passes it in deep to Sanford and he turns to put it on net before Kasdorf can fully seal off down low. It pulled BC within 1, but that was as close as BC would get.</p>
<p>The Eagles had another several chances to tie the game with Demko pulled late, but they just couldn't get another one. Very frustrating.</p>
<p>But the good news is, on the whole, BC seemingly generated more chances over the course of the weekend and put up more shots (another 37 Sunday after 40 against Army on Friday) than they did in almost any weekend last season.</p>
<p>BC has a one-off next weekend against Wisconsin for Friday's home opener. After the bulk of the top ten stumbled this weekend, the Eagles will look to get back in the win column to keep toward the front of the pack.</p>

<div class="description"><p><p>In case you were wondering how this weekend could possibly get any worse, BC hockey dropped an entirely winnable game on the road at RPI, 2-1. The Eagles outshot the Engineers 39-28 and probably had about another 15 or 20 shots blocked as well, but this wasn't really a case of getting unlucky; RPI played a great defensive game and was able to frustrate the Eagles.<br><br>There's no real way to sugarcoat this one, RPI was a pretty mediocre team last year and just lost to UMass Lowell 3-0 on Friday night. This is a tough loss and perhaps the only silver lining is that they probably won't be #1 in this week's poll. That label didn't really suit them yet at this early stage; they have a lot of talent, but a lot of work to do.<br><br>After BC fell behind 2-0 on goals late in the 2nd and early in the 3rd, Zach Sanford pulled one back with a power play goal with about 12 minutes to play. BC had numerous opportunities to tie it but could just never make that killer final pass or finish their chances.<br><br>BC falls to 1-1 and will return to action Friday night against Wisconsin, in BC's home opener. Grant will be back with more details and GIFs later on.</p></p></div>

<div class="description"><p><p>I hate you, you, you, you and you. I hate all of you and everything. BC outshoots RPI 17-7 in the second period but not only do they fail to score, RPI squeezes one home in the final minute of the period. Everything is bad.</p></p></div>

<div class="description"><p><p>BC came out firing in the opening minutes of the first period, with four straight shifts in RPI's end. However, the Engineers weathered the early storm and the game eventually settled into a pretty even rhythm for the rest of the period.<br><br>As is so often the case, special teams seemed to turn the momentum a bit; BC failed to score on an early power play, then had to kill off two penalties of their own. Once again, Demko is off to a good start.</p></p></div>
