New York Islanders

Isles beat Caps 5-3 🗑️🗡🩸🤮🚽🚮

On ~~Saturday~~ Monday night the Washington Capitals, wearing their thirds, just straight-up got boomed by the ~~Philadelphia Flyers~~ New York Islanders.

Anthony Beauvillier scored back-to-back goals in the first period — one a perfect tic-tac-toe rush goal, the other a desperate scramble in front of Ilya Samsonov. John Carlson fought back with a slapshot through traffic (that nearly hit Alex Ovechkin), but that rascal Devon Teows got a goal during four-on-four play to give the Isles a solid lead through one period.

The second period was bad also. Leo Komarov scored five-hole, then Jordan Eberle went the distance to chase Samsonov from the net. To save face, Lars Eller went buckwild in the crease and the power play scored on an Oshie Shot from the Ovi Spot.

The Caps looked a bit better in the third period, but a comeback was beyond reach.

Caps lose.

Caps vs Islanders pregame: Monday matchup

It’s Monday and the New York Islanders are in town to kick off the week. Lines have been shifted a smidge for the Capitals, including the healthy scratch of Radko Gudas. Hopefully shifting some lines will help the team click a little better. Oh, and hopefully they never have another game like the last one, but I like to think if we never talk about it again it basically didn’t happen.

7 PM is puck drop and Peter has your recap. Do some voodoo to get Alex Ovechkin to 700 goals tonight.

New York Islanders delete Devon Toews bird-celly tweet after getting roasted on Twitter

After Devon Toews scored to put the New York Islanders up 4-1 over the Capitals, he used Evgeny Kuznetsov’s now-iconic bird walk celly to really rub it in. The Islanders Twitter account posted a video, calling it a “💯 celly” – thinking the game was over.

But you guys, it wasn’t. The Capitals scored five unanswered goals in the third period to win the game 6-4.

The Islanders got roasted so bad in their replies that they deleted the tweet.

Holy jumpin’: Caps beat Islanders 6-4

A new day, but yet another Metropolitan Division matchup for the Washington Capitals. A rare afternoon start against their friends from the Island and the last Caps hockey before the big all star break. What a game!

Alex Ovechkin stayed hot to open scoring on a breakaway. Brock Nelson was offside to tie the game at one and Casey Cizikas banked one off of Radko Gudas’ skate to give the Isles a lead. Jordan Eberle banked one off Braden Holtby to extend said lead. Devon Toews with one more.

Carl Hagelin opened the third jamming one home in front and that guy Ovechkin again drew the Caps even closer. Tom Wilson deflected home a Dmitry Orlov blast to tie. Jakub Vrana with the game winner. Ovi hat trick empty netter.

Caps beat Islanders 6-4!

Caps lose last year: numbers for the morning after

The winningest team of the 2010s ended said decade losing two games in a row in regulation…because of course they did. The Washington Capitals fell to their former bench boss and his New York Islanders by a score of 4-3 to end 2019.

The Caps out-shot the Isles 38 to 22 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 70 to 39.

Islanders beat Caps 4-3 to end the decade

The Washington Capitals wrapped up 2019 with a messy home game against Barry Trotz’s New York Islanders. I doubt anyone’s happy with this game. Oh, except maybe Evgeny Kuznetsov.

Casey Cizikas kicked us off with a neat deflection of a point shot. Brock Nelson’s shot through Orlov’s screen made it 2-0 Isles early, but Evgeny Kuznetsov responded with an exploitation of a defensive breakdown by New York. Tom Wilson finished off a busy first period with a danger-close tip-in off Backstrom’s pass.

Tied 2-2 entering the second, Kuznetsov got his second goal of the game, a wrister from the slot. New York answered with two goals — another from Cizikas that outsmarted Holtby, and a sharp passing sequence finished off by Tom Kuhnhackl.

The Caps buzzed late in the third period, but they couldn’t catch up.

Caps lose.
