Remember last August when the New York Islanders were up 3-0 in their opening-round series against the Washington Capitals? During that fourth game of the series, the Caps engaged in all of the dark arts in order to get the Islanders off their game.
It worked. The Caps beat the Isles 3-2 that night going 1/5 on the power play while the Isles would go 0/5 on their man-advantage.
