Former Providence goalie Chris Terreri had 21 saves in one period on the way to a double-overtime victory over none other than BC in the first Hockey East tournament ever. Strangely enough, Clemmensen also tied a record for the fewest saves in a period for a Hockey East semifinal, as he resumed Maytag status with just two in the final period. Makes one wonder if the FleetCenter ice was running downhill from east to west. Fans on the east side of the rink saw an action-packed game with 50 shots hitting the goal right in front of them, while their counterparts on the west side saw a bit of a snoozer, as just 14 shots reached their goal. Looking Up Despite being disappointed to lose decisively after playing 40 tough minutes against BC, the River Hawks should be able to feel proud of their dramatic turnaround over the course of this season.
Hockey is the hardest game to figure out sometimes.
Scott Clemmensen kept us in the game in the second and we were able to score a few quick goals in the third. That goal really got us rolling in the third. Ironically for Clemmensen, after facing and saving 23 shots in the middle period, he saw only two shots in the entire third, tying a Hockey East final four record for fewest saves in a period. A major factor on the night was the special teams of Boston College. After allowing a power-play goal on the River Hawks' first attempt, the Eagles shut down the River Hawks, killing the next five power plays.
