We're Touched
The Islanders backing off on the forecheck let the breakout work much easier. Caps need to keep that up in game 3, and actually hit the net from the beginning of the game.

Nicky leading . . . Chimmer again with a big goal in the playoffs. And Niskanen 2 assists and much more solid in his end - when he sucks, we suck. When he's good, we're good.
After we were down 3-1, every time I went to get a beer we scored. Ran out of beer (I know, very weak) after we got up 4-3 so had to turn to the port to seal the win.

They definitely got dominated physically in the 2nd half of the game. I do wonder if that is going to have some effect on them going forward. I hope so. Game 3 will be interesting.

Typical Chimera , we hate him all season long but come playoff time he always score some GWGs
5 out of his 9 career playoff goals with the Caps have been GWGs.
He finds a way to get it done, somehow.

Great response by the Caps. Especially that killer goal to go down 3-1, they came up big clawing their way back into the game.
Now looks like the series really is a clean sheet. Game 1 was just a gift to the Isles, Game 2 the Caps were eventually able to shift into a real playoff gear, while the Isles couldn't -- probably because their leads came too easy, they were in "academic" mode, which worked great for them up to that point -- but when it was no longer enough, they couldn't flip the switch in-game. One would expect the Isles to shift into a higher gear the next game, too.
Crowd finally came alive, too -- what the hell happened in Game 1??
Goaltending for the Caps needs to get better; though I dunno, I thought the Isles just got some tremendous snipes today, picked corners. Maybe on that 2nd goal, Grubs stayed too deep in the net.. He's ok, I guess, but the goalies need to somehow help the Caps get a better start to a game.

I'll personally admit that I was calling for him to be scratched after his penalty last game. Since he had the GWG tonight, I'll admit I was wrong... once again... like usual. Haha
