Week 22: 3/1 – 3/7

Spotlight: Capitals @ Islanders (3/1)

19. 1. 106. Final. 3

Against by far the best team they played all week, the Washington Capitals put in an impressive performance, completely stifling the Islanders en route to a 3-1 victory at NYCB Live.

Despite falling down 1-0 early, the Caps controlled play the rest of the way, and scored three unanswered goals (including an empty-netter) in the third period to get the win. Along the way, they outshot New York 28-21, and had some good chances against Barry Trotz’s trap.

On the other hand, such a low-event game is hardly the most fun to watch. It was effective, but boring hockey – the kind that wins you games in the playoffs.

Performance: 7/10

Entertainment: 5/10
