<p>#York996</p> <p>It didn't <i>quite</i> go according to plan, but if you had looked at the final score, you would have thought BC took care of business without a hint of difficulty.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bcinterruption.com/boston-college-hockey-2013-14-season/2013/11/29/5158392/holy-cross-hockey-clings-to-5-4-victory-over-boston-college">Exactly two years ago today</a>, BC had a one-off game against a bad AHA opponent. They had <span>Thatcher Demko</span> in goal.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hockeyeastonline.com/men/boxes14.php?mbc_hcr1.n29">And they quickly faced a 2-0 deficit</a>.</p>
<p>But unlike two years ago, the Eagles kept playing, found their game, and completely rolled the rest of the way to log the expected big win over low-ranked RIT <a href="http://www.hockeyeastonline.com/men/boxes16.php?mbc_rit1.n28">by a score of 6-2</a>.</p>
<p><b>RIT Goal #1: 8:08 of the 1st period<br>Abbott Girduckis (Brady Norrish)</b></p>
<p><b><i>RIT 1, BC 0</i></b></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OOpNtQAR7Nk/VlsWN7gN0KI/AAAAAAAALQk/cui7YN3gwkY/s497-Ic42/1RIT.gif"></p>
<p>One other difference between this game and the debacle against Holy Cross two years ago was that BC didn't fall behind because they were coasting. BC was taking it to RIT right from the drop of the puck, as evidenced by the early 7-2 shot advantage.</p>
<p>But for a moment, the Eagles forgot themselves. They have four skaters stacked on the blue line as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turducken">Turducken</a> carries the puck in all by his lonesome, and he just skates his way through without much resistance. He ends up right on Demko's doorstep for the goal.</p>
<p>What a weird situation for BC to let happen.</p>
<p><b>RIT Goal #2: 9:37 of the 1st period<br>Erik Brown (Myles Powell, Brad Shumway)</b></p>
<p><b><i>RIT 2, BC 0</i></b></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4sJiAZqz7Do/VlsWOVoAr0I/AAAAAAAALQo/2KAU8l1Rn-0/s497-Ic42/2RIT.gif"></p>
<p>Apologies for the GIF quality -- BC's stream had a hiccup right as the play was taking place.</p>
<p>BC kept coming at RIT, and put another pair of shots on RIT's Mike Rotolo in the minute and a half since the goal, allowing none to the Tigers.</p>
<p>And then another inexplicable goal. One BC defender tries to pinch at the blue line, leaving Erik Brown in a one-on-one with what looks to be Casey Fitzgerald. It's pretty harmless, and Fitzgerald has him covered well, but Brown just rifles a shot from distance that seems to handcuff Demko and find its way in.</p>
<p>But again BC doesn't get rattled, sticks with it, and RIT manages just four (4) shots for the next thirty-plus minutes.</p>
<p><b>Boston College Goal #1: 9:47 of the 1st period<br><span>Chris Brown</span> (<span>Miles Wood</span>, Austin Cangelosi)</b></p>
<p><b><i>RIT 2, BC 1</i></b></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NR0mJn34hFU/VlsWOkHeHAI/AAAAAAAALQs/7k5H2nhfKQ4/s497-Ic42/3Brown.gif"></p>
<p>Next man up!</p>
<p>Chris Brown gets the goal. Chris Brown, slotted all the way up to the first line with the injury to Chris Calnan. That Chris Brown.</p>
<p>It's just a minute after RIT's second and you can just see BC skating hard to keep up the intensity. Miles Wood is the man who skates in around an RIT defender to create the two on one, but Brown is right where Wood needs him to be for the one-timer.</p>
<p>How's that for early chemistry?</p>
<p><b>Boston College Goal #2: 11:21 of the 1st period<br><span>Ryan Fitzgerald</span> (Scott Savage, Matty Gaudreau)</b></p>
<p><b><i>BC 2, RIT 2</i></b></p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MpxP8K_EqLc/VlsWWR8Ns1I/AAAAAAAALQ0/s-rkvj4cwPU/s497-Ic42/4Fitzgerald.gif"></p>
<p>BC went down 2-0 and trailed for just 1:44 of game time.</p>
<p>There's so much that the Tigers screw up on here. Let's try to break it all down.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/8DBlShn.png"></p>
<p>The first problem is an RIT defender comes flying like a bat out of hell to challenge Savage at the point for some reason. Not only is is unnecessary, but he takes himself completely out of the play. He's toast, so forget about him.</p>
<p>Savage just returns the pass to where it came from to Gaudreau along the boards while the RIT defender clears out, and Gaudreau sends it right back, and now we've got something going.</p>
<p>The next problem for the Tigers is that they give Savage no challenge to the top of the slot. He just skates right on in and takes what he's given.</p>
<p>And lastly, just watch Ryan Fitzgerald in the crease. This is a tip drill with no defenders. The shot from Savage alone is enough of a chance, but Fitzgerald deflects the puck and Rotolo just has no chance.</p>
<p><b>Boston College Goal #3 (GWG): 15:53 of the 1st period<br>Ryan Fitzgerald (Matty Gaudreau, <span>Colin White</span>)</b></p>
<p><b><i>BC 3, RIT 2</i></b></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-znn3w7dQswc/VlsWYqoI7jI/AAAAAAAALRE/w-xO_pRMRbs/s497-Ic42/5Fitzgerald.gif"></p>
<p>More terrible defense from RIT. What are they even doing?</p>
<p>Ryan Fitzgerald has enough room to set up a campsite in between the hashmarks. One Tiger defender just goes away from the play entirely, and of the other four, two go for the puck and two go for the same player at the front of the net.</p>
<p>After White throws the puck in front of the net, Fitzgerald is the only one around for miles, so he just blasts it in. RIT's proverbial goose is cooked. I'm sure the lead was fun while it lasted.</p>
<p><b>Boston College Goal #4: 5:33 of the 2nd period<br><span>Alex Tuch</span> (Zach Sanford, <span>Adam Gilmour</span>)</b></p>
<p><b><i>BC 4, RIT 2</i></b></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--loQL46CQY8/VlsWX5e-jOI/AAAAAAAALRA/7yMQDw3vqyM/s497-Ic42/6Tuch.gif"></p>
<p>It's just more of the same, although it's less RIT's fault and more BC putting together a nice tic-tac-toe goal on the doorstep. But the one Tiger defender with the ability to do anything about it gets caught watching the play, allowing Tuch to sneak in behind.</p>
<p>Rotolo is totally out of position. Tuch basically has 4x6 to shoot at.</p>
<p><b>Boston College Goal #5 (PPG): 14:09 of the 2nd period<br><span>Ian McCoshen</span> (Teddy Doherty, Zach Sanford)</b></p>
<p><b><i>BC 5, RIT 2</i></b></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ua79d9LYZs0/VlsWcswoFSI/AAAAAAAALRQ/l-HDPH2qKS4/s497-Ic42/7McCoshen.gif"></p>
<p>HAVE A GO, YOUNG MAN.</p>
<p>Zdeno McCoshen has a <i>cannon,</i> but why is he shooting from all the way over there? RIT is giving BC so much room at the top of the circles that it would take maybe one or two passes to get a more centered shot closer to the net -- especially on the power play.</p>
<p>But Teddy Doherty is literally just standing there after making the pass, and Sanford is just gliding around doing nothing, so why not just blast it.</p>
<p>Nice shot, but the play is reminiscent of how BC shifted into neutral after putting away UConn earlier this week.</p>
<p><b>Boston College Goal #6 (PPG): 16:09 of the 3rd period</b><br><b>Casey Fitzgerald (Matty Gaudreau, Chris Brown)</b></p>
<p><b><i>BC 6, RIT 2 -- FINAL</i></b></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-p-QkYP6evIg/VlsWdbzsLdI/AAAAAAAALRU/CLIbBkwDHzg/s497-Ic42/8CFitzgerald.gif"></p>
<p>The game was long over at this point, but BC got its second power play goal to wrap up the scoring. Matty Gaudreau is the player along the boards getting challenged, and he drops the puck back for Casey Fitzgerald.</p>
<p>It's not that great of a pass though -- in another game, against another team, the RIT skater at the top of the circle may have been able to jump on it and catch Fitzgerald pinching in for a breakaway. Instead everyone's just waiting for the final whistle, so Fitzgerald skates in and just throws it on net. It finds its way all the way through, and that's that.</p>
<p>That's 11 in a row now for BC, and the schedule won't get any tougher next week. BC has Northeastern for a home-and-home, and the Huskies are somehow ranked even lower in the <a href="http://www.uscho.com/rankings/pairwise-rankings/d-i-men/">Pairwise</a> than RIT is.</p>
<p>Yikes.</p>
<p>Northeastern did take Lowell to overtime and blasted Colgate somehow in Belfast this weekend, so they might be starting to figure things out. But if Bentley can sweep Northeastern, I'm pretty sure BC should too.</p>

<p>Back at Kelley for a matinee</p> <p>After a successful two game road swing, BC returns home to take on RIT Saturday in a traditional post-Thanksgiving matinee. Let's hope they're not haunted by the Ghosts of AHC Teams Past.</p>
<p><b>RIT Tigers (3-6-2) at Boston College Eagles (11-1-0)<br></b><i>Saturday, November 28, 2015, 4:00 PM, Kelley Rink at Conte Forum, Chestnut Hill, Mass.<br></i></p>
<p><b>MATCHUP:</b></p>
<p>Pairwise: RIT #52, BC #5<br>Team Offense: RIT #36 (2.55 goals per game)... BC #1 (4.42 goals per game)<br>Team Defense: RIT #43 (3.09 goals allowed per game)... BC #1 (1.17 goals allowed per game)</p>
<h4><b>Storylines</b></h4>
<p><b>Thanksgiving hangover:</b> We all remember what happened two years ago on Black Friday when a high powered BC team came out sleepwalking, fell behind huge to Holy Cross, and was unable to complete a furious late game comeback. This game is at least a little less trappish since it's not immediately the day after Thanksgiving, but these are college kids and you can see why there might be focus/energy issues in a situation like this. Let's hope they have their legs from the word go. If they do, they shouldn't have a problem with an RIT team that has been "meh" this season.</p>
<p><b>#JY1K</b><b>:</b> The countdown is on. BC has 4 games left before the holiday break and Jerry York is 5 wins away from 1000, meaning if the Eagles keep up their torrid pace, York will likely hit the milestone in front of a small crowd in Ostero, Florida during a holiday tournament, possibly against Ohio State or Cornell. Doesn't that sound like #PeakJerryYork to you?</p>
<p><b>Gaudreau point streak: </b>We are familiar with the concept of a Gaudreau having a point streak, but this time it's Gaudreau the Younger. His empty net goal on Tuesday night extended his career best scoring streak to 7. He'll look to extend that as his line, flanking Colin White, continues to play electric hockey.</p>
<p><b>Colin White: </b>Gaudreau's linemate, Colin White, has quietly thrust himself to #3 on the national scoring list with 20 points. The top 2 have 23 and 21 respectively. Can White continue to climb the chart?</p>

<p>Here is your occasional reminder that the Chestnut Hill Pepe's is slated to open next week. Not that I'm counting down the days or anything.</p>
<h4><b>#CATPREDICTIONS, By The Cats Of The Gifford Cat Shelter</b></h4>
<p>We have a Gifford alum guest prediction for this game since I was not at the shelter on Thursday because Thanksgiving. Bean's mom and dad both went to BC, so although he and I don't agree on pro sports (he's a Philly fan), he is definitely a BC fan. Bean was pretty excited to predict the score because he likes any excuses for extra treats.</p>

</p>
<p><span>Bean didn't have to think very hard before choosing BC, which is good since most of the humans he knows are BC alums! He is predicting a final score of 4-2 BC.</span></p>

<p>If you want your own BC fan cat, you can visit The Gifford Cat Shelter, located right across from BC at 30 Undine Road in Brighton. Founded in 1884, it is the oldest no kill and cageless shelter in the U.S. More information is available at <a href="http://www.giffordcatshelter.org/">http://www.giffordcatshelter.org/</a>.</p>
<h4><b>The Last Word</b></h4>
<p><b>BC 4, RIT 1.</b></p>
<p><span>There's no such thing as an "easy game" in college hockey anymore, so like any week, BC will have to play well. But if they do play to their abilities they should win this game. The AHC has some good teams but RIT has not been up to their usual standard thus far.</span></p>

<p>Grant retakes the lead by virtue of BC's late empty net goal, without which, I would have been in the lead. Booooo. The Gifford Cats move past New Guy (womp womp) and the pack remains tight at the top.</p>
<p>Scoring rules if you'd like to play along at home:</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">Predict the correct winner: 1 point<br>Get the margin of victory right: 2 points<br>Nail the correct final score: 3 points</p>
