Caps @ Islanders GDT

[apachef4]

I missed the first period. 1-0 Isles after 1.

Saw parts of it, but missed the goal. Grubauer is getting his first NHL start today

 

[ritari330]

Erksine has an upper body injury and is doubtful to return.

 

[apachef4]

MP85 gets a fortunate bounce, and the Caps tie it up on the PP. 1-1.

 

[apachef4]

2-1 Isles after 2.

 

[apachef4]

Backstrom! Capitalizes on a pretty tic-tac-toe passing play to tie it at 2.

 

[apachef4]

Ribs picks up the double-minor for high sticking and unsportsmanlike conduct. Bug penalty kill here...

 

[apachef4]

1st penalty successfully killed...

 

[apachef4]

...and Tavares cashes in on the 2nd. 3-2 Isles.

 

[apachef4]

And now it looks like Schultz will get a double minor for high sticking. Not good.

 

[apachef4]

Suuure looked like another PP goal for Tavares. That'll get reviewed and I suspect a goal scored.

 

[apachef4]

Well, it's going to be 4-2 one way or the other.

sigh

 

[apachef4]

I hope Ribeiro got his money's worth with that unsportsmanlike penalty. That killed them.

 

[apachef4]

Nielsen scores a shorty to effectively end this game.

 

[hokiehi21]

shorty was OV's fault

 

[ritari330]

Both Ribeiro and Schultz deserve quite a bit a blame for this one. No excuse for 2 double minors and definitely no excuse to get an extra 2 in a tied game in the 3rd.

depressing. time to drink
