ALZNER that sneaky bastard

Call it both ways, refs. Obvious high stick missed.

 

[elocomotive]

The Kuznetsov-Mojo-Chimera line has been fantastic tonight.

 

[elocomotive]

Caps dominating the last 10 minutes of that second period and showing their skill and size.

PP to start the 3rd. Need to connect on it, take control of this series, and put this dog down.

Good timing!

 

[Kevin12773]

I Laich it!!!!!!

 

[elocomotive]

Booya!!!

Great start to the 3rd period.

Isles....looookinn... tiiiii...reeedddd...

I love that Brooks Laich shut them up with a goal - Isles are melting down and got caught up in Brooks Laich's comments and now he gets a snipe against them

Also, Tyler Kennedy was responsible for the 3rd goal against, not getting it in deep - nobody can defend Jack Capuano's decision to bench Brock Nelson and keep someone like that in the lineup

I was rooting for the Isles at the start but they've yapped way too much and have done some real stupid things and it's making me root for the Caps now

 

[Kevin12773]

Kuzy

 

[apachef4]

Kuznetsov!

So, apparently we are really good immediately after a PP. I'll take it.

 

[elocomotive]

Another one, Chimera!!!!

 

[apachef4]

Stonehands!

 

[elocomotive]

Turning point in the series... Wilson hit.

They started playing our game, and we're better at our game.

 

[elocomotive]

Holt....beee..........

Holt....beee..........

Holt....beee..........

Holt....beee..........

Umm, the score isn't 2-1. Does not compute.

 

[apachef4]

Isles going after Wilson now. This could get ugly before it's all said and done.

 

[Kevin12773]

Isles getting extra assy now. Guess 5 unanswered will do that to you. If there gonna go I want someone to paste Clutterbuck

 

[elocomotive]

Isles going after Wilson now. This could get ugly before it's all said and done.

How could that be? Tavares said the Islanders don't play like that.
