That's when Nash became an offensive machine right? 2nd line center with Pasta and got 4 on 4 time in OT.

What a time to be alive

Not sure what game you're thinking of, but this one wasn't it. Game didn't go to OT and Nash played 3 seconds with Pasta that night. Nash's most common linemates that game were Dominic Moore and Noel Acciari

I'm glad that Pasta, Smith, and Krejci can play.

This may seem like sour grapes, but literally every time we play the Islanders it's when we have several significant injuries at once. They're acting like they beat us 5 times because they're better, when really all but one of them were close games and we were without Pasta, Krejci, Carlo, Gryz, Lauzon, etc. for most of them. If all of our COVID guys weren't cleared tonight, I would've thrown my hands up and gave up. I just hope with Anders Lee out the tide will turn in our favor on that front.

What if it’s both... What if they were the healthier and better team? They have four lines that can score, we have one, even when healthy.

This just sets them up for disappointment in the playoffs when we beat them at full health.

I may be in the minority especially considering the results this season, but I still think the Capitals are our biggest threat in this division, not the Islanders.
