Round 1 - Capitals vs Islanders


Recommended Posts

This matchup is set. Tomorrow's game will decide who has home ice advantage.

Will be a great series. I am expecting a high scoring series in this one.

Prediction: Isles in 7. MVP of the series - Tavares

Don't mind either two of the teams coming out of this. Expect Ovi to do some damage in this series.

I gotta go with the Caps on this one.

The Islanders lack of an elite defender or an elite goalie is just going to make the Islanders seem silly whenever Backstrom and Ovechkin are on the ice.

Also some people say that the Caps live or die by their powerplay, well let's just see how well their powerplay should do.

Caps Powerplay- 25% (1st in the league)
Isles PK- 77.9% (27th in the league)

It would be a huge upset if the Caps don't win.

Agreed, should be an entertaining series.

One of the great '80s hockey moments, was their 1987 series-decider. Lafontaine scoring in(4 OT?) past Bob Mason..Believe Hrudey made 80+ saves in a 3~2 win.

They call that game the Easter Epic.

ah man, that's the earliest hockey game I vividly remember watching - 6 years old at a family reunion in Montreal. One by one all my relatives dropped out and went to bed. Spent all summer bragging about staying up until it finished with just my mom and one of my uncles.

Cheering for the Isles in this one!
