Series Thread: First Round - Washington Capitals vs. New York Islanders

I watch one period of hockey finally and the Caps win. Does this mean I have to watch all the periods of hockey now?

You turned the game on just to see if the Islanders were wearing their fishsticks, didn’t you?

This pre-game 4 pic of OV is pretty awesome.

Looks like Backstrom might be...back.

Hey, the guy who just scored was one of the draft picks that Isles got from Edmonton in the Griffen Reinhart trade.

It's the curse of Kovalchuk.

Pretty uninspiring effort in an elimination game.

Caps have been outcoached. Despite a much better roster, the Caps are only working with the ghost of Barry Trotz, whereas the Isles have the real thing.

What changes should happen? Is Reirden the guy?

Ding Dong! The witch is dead!

Good work, Islanders. And good luck in Rd. 2.

I was never that impressed. He's a "good enough" NHL HC, but not a guy you think will win championships.

Unfortunately, this is a messed-up year, so he'll get a pass. The Caps are still a playoff-caliber team, losing only Holtby really. My prediction is that Leonsis doesn't make a change for one more season.

Get ready to re-post the above in about 3 hours.

/Prove me wrong Flames.

Fair thee well, Holtby. We'll always remember The Save. Thanks for everything!
