MDSF: (2) Washington Capitals vs (3) New York Islanders

[King_Canuckian]

I'm not sure if I care about this series less or Tampa/Detroit. I'm thinking Halak will be the difference in this one.

Islanders in 7

[Amish Rake Fighter]

A couple months ago, the Islanders were my dark horse to come out of the East but now I'm not sure.

I'll still say the Islanders in 7 but it could go south in a hurry if Ovi starts lighting up Halak.

[HC20.0]

The Isles take game 1! Who'd have thunk?

[tera_ha]

^ a lot of people

[hatedkid666]

Islanders surprisingly won game one with ease

[87Crosby]

Holtby out with an illness. Don't like Caps chances tonight.

[hatedkid666]

1-0 iles already damn

[AriGold]

Washington owned the play for 2 straight minutes with a ton of shots then next play down the ice and the Islanders roof it.

The stadium is in pure silence.

[Kazmanian Devil]

Ovechkin gets his first. Series is about to get interesting.

[Tortorella's Rant]

If Caps get eliminated this round, should Alex consider looking to play elsewhere, if financially possible? He's going on 30; the guy's soon to be at 500 goals and 1000 points, 6x 50 goal scorer and the best the team can help him do is a second round exit. All these guys play to win the biggest prize. You don't want to be that kind of talent who can't win the Cup..

Personally Ovi is forever a cap. Just like what we have with the Sedins. They're forever a Canuck

[-DLC-]

OMG these idiots on SN just said "Islanders, looking for a sweep".

Meh. They're a 101 point team - in the east. That's not really jump ship material. I doubt he pulls a Kesler.

[Beary Sweet]

Home crowd starting to take over the game

[UFCanuck]

Caps come back to tie it.

[hatedkid666]

Shots 11-0 for iles halfway through

[hatedkid666]

Crazy high-paced hard hitting game this one is

[hatedkid666]

What a game so far. The islanders crowd is absolutely going nuts. It's unbelievable

[hatedkid666]

Backstrom ties it at 1!

Am I the only one watching this insane game? Lol
