Folks, I have to apologize for the delay in this recap. I’ve sat here typing rather intermittently, not really knowing how to begin this one. Of course, I try to take notes along with the game, but I couldn’t take my eyes off the TV this time. Didn’t help that there weren’t any goals through forty minutes either, but it still held my full attention and the tension just continued to mount.
I had an eerie feeling that the Capitals might swipe it away on a fluke in the third, but the Islanders really took it to Washington throughout the game and the bounces went their way tonight to boot.
