Riveters Penalties Save the Whale, 4-3
A 3-goal lead and gorgeous goaltending from Scrivens weren't enough to sink what seems to be the most clutch Whale in the world.
The Riveters took on the undefeated Connecticut Whale at home on Sunday. (Remember Sunday? Yes, it is now Thursday. Let's just say I needed four days to recover from this game, and leave it at that.) The odds seemed in their favor; the Whale were short one captain, forward Jessica Koizumi, and one defender, Molly Engstrom, who earned the NWHL's first suspension for her inexplicable decision to pummel the crap out of Meghan Duggan right in front of a ref last weekend up in Buffalo. It's worth a watch.
