BOSTON, MA (WSAU) — It wasn’t even close. The preseason number one hockey team in America had no trouble with the Wisconsin Badgers, as Boston College shut out Bucky 6-0 Friday night.
It didn’t take long to sense which way this game was going. Before most fans had found their seats around Kelley Rink in Boston’s Conte Forum, they heard the horn sound. Austin Cangelosi scored the Eagle’s first goal just twelve seconds into the contest. Teddy Doherty scored another one at 4:39 of the first period against goalie Adam Miller. Miller saw the bench shortly afterwards, and Bucky’s luck didn’t change with Matt Jurusik in goal.
Boston College added second period goals by Ryan Ritzgerald (6:50), Cangelosi (16:05), and Colin White (16:45). White also lit the lamp again in the third period at 3:12 on the clock to complete the scoring.
The Eagles outshot the Badgers 27-20 Friday, including an 11-4 first period effort. Miller had two saves for the Badgers, and Jurusik 19 more saves. Boston’s Thatcher Demko had 20 saves in goal for the Eagles. The game was also loaded with penalties, with Wisconsin getting 11 and Boston College penalized 8 times.
