I take back everything I said about the new jerseys, wear them every game from now on.

 

[Corby78]

Gritty effort !!! VV was good again. Guys stepping up. Chara was a pilon, get him some rest please. Need Wilson, Eller, backy to all get better.

also still not big on the blue, but if they win every game they wear them, I’ll buy one

 

[aonb]

no sammy

no kuzy
no wilson
partly
no eller

NO PROBLEM

3-2 Turtles...

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Figured there was roughly a 0% chance they got points after they punted the major PP.

One of the more enjoyable wins in a long time. Really impressive. Now let’s hope for good news on Backy and Eller and hope Wilson is back soon.

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Any idea on why Backstrom left again?

 

[Marshall]

That felt like a big win.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Ok prediction for next game lol?

 

[txpd]

I like it.

"They(the Caps) looked like a real good hockey team. The Islanders ARE a real good hockey team." Mike Babcock. Thats a sweet slap in the face

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Good goaltending again by VV

Yep and last year that last 30 seconds the Isles would have scored.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

That felt like a big win.

uuuuuuuuuuuge....

 

[txpd]

Ok prediction for next game lol?

No Lars Eller

 

[pman25]

Any idea on why Backstrom left again?

Maybe he started bleeding again and needed more stitches? Just speculating. I hope that’s it

 

[Portable Mink]

Dislike that Backy is started to get a bit of head injury history.

 

[Monsterrain]

Shultz been solid in his own end too. What a nice win. F the island.

 

[McVechkin]

We all knew there would be growing pains with new coach / some new players / short season. So with that compounded by the Covid issue... to be 4-0-3 is better than most expected.

need to get healthy and get a motivated kuz going

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I didn't even get mad with the 5 minute PP due to they really haven't had practice or chances to click.

 

[Corby78]

No Lars Eller

yeah that looked like concussion type stuff, hope I’m wrong

 

[Devil Dancer]

That was wild. I expected the most boring game of the year and got the opposite.

Can't believe they scored in a tie game with that lineup with less than a minute to go. Everything about that situation said just turtle to OT, but here we are.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

if you do say so yourself...

ahem?

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I’d say I want someone to pound Leo’s face next game for that but I’d rather him get quality ice time. He has shit for brains on the ice.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Bruce is not coaching anymore?

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Lavi gets the boys playing hard. Next man up we all played hard. love it

 

[txpd]

get a motivated kuz going

Pipe dream

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Can’t wait to see Thursday’s line up with Dowd, Scarbossa, McMichael, and Pinho as our centers. And we’ll still win (jk).
