Series Thread: Stanley Cup Playoffs Round 1 - Capitals vs. Islanders

[Cobiemonster]

Turning point in the series... Wilson hit.

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

They also got caught up in the media, which doesn't help either

Maybe they are tired tonight from running their mouths so much.

Holy groin shot batman

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

I feel a little bad for Puck082 tonight. Nice guy. Can't be having a good time watching his team get burned 5-1. Never fun to be in someone else's barn for that.

 

[elocomotive]

Isles have 2 game misconducts in the game tonight.

Reminder, the Caps have zero all season.

But I thought Tavares said his team doesn't play like that.

 

[Kevin12773]

Now just hoping Wilson pots one yet

1st game IMO the Caps really showed up to play.

 

[elocomotive]

HELL YES, CAPS' FANS!!!

Nice to see us come out and stomp on somebody in a key game for a change.

Clean as the driven snow.

So has the narrative begun about the Isles lacking composure and it resulting in a loss? I need to know.

Wouldn't have meant a thing without Backstrom's winner.

Kuzy was so fucking good tonight. He's going to be our long-term C2 problem.

They didn't like one perfectly legal hit on their guy. They talked about how Wilson shouldn't go after a guy with a history of head trauma (are we delivering different hits to guys based no their injury history or lack thereof now?).

They came back in the next game and fought him (i bet wilson loved it), took cheap shots at him, slashed other Caps' players prior to the puck even being dropped, had two players ejected, and generally got their asses handed to them in the face-off dot, on the boards, in the neutral zone, and on the scoreboard.

They looked tired and overmatched. They barked after game 4 and promised to "play that game, too."

The problem is their a terrier, and they're trying to jump in the dog fight ring with a pit bull.

I can only hope they didn't learn their lesson.

Yes. Time to retire the Perreault jersey. I'm getting a #92 jersey.

To be fair (reported), they got 10-minute misconducts which ended the game for them.

For some reason, reading broken english when players are trying to be serious makes me laugh
