I almost wasn’t going to write a post today—I mean, who wants to read about that loss?—but we must soldier on.
So, the New York Islanders got their behinds handed to them just one night after a thrilling victory. Out of this week’s three games, where they needed a minimum of four points and at least five if not all six, they got two. Meanwhile, the Washington Capitals won both of their tight games in regulation. We had a fun half of a week, didn’t we, folks?
The Capitals’ magic number is down to just ten (10), meaning the Islanders’ tragic number has shrunken to single digits (nine) (9) with a whole three weeks left in the season.
