Today at the Verizon center in Washington the New York Islanders defeated that Capitals by the score of 4-3 in overtime.  Below are some notes from the game:

-Rolo played well
-What happened to Jackman?
-What happened to Okposo?  (Why does he have a black eye?)
-Refs weren’t that good especially toward the end
-Could Streit finally be waking up?
-JT needs to make decisions faster but I am sure that will come

If you have anything to add post it in comments

Next Game: Saturday 10-31 @ home versus Buffalo       Starts at 7 pm on MSG +

Pre Game: Islanders @ Caps!

Tonight the Islanders will take on the Washington Capitals at the Verizon Center in Washington.  The game will be on MSG + at 7 pm.  Sorry for the little mess up in the post game ranger thread, I didn’t know at the time that we had a game tonight.

Anyway according to Katie Strang from newsday coach Scott Gordon is giving Dwayne Roloson the nod again tonight saying he likes his play of late.  Also bad news for Robbie Schremp fans, he said that he will only be used as a center and not a wing so until someone gets hurt he will be watching from the press box.  This is unfortunate because in the few games he played I like Schremp and I would like to see him be given more of a chance.  I mean we have given Tamby 3 years and we gave this guy what 3 or 4 games?  That doesn’t seem fair to me but what ever that is why I am not the GM.

Last week when we played each other I predicted a lopsided Capital win now I think my prediction will be more on target:

Caps 4
Isles 3

F/OT

Ovy, Green, Knuble, and Backstrom
JT, KO and Moulson  

Every-time we play the Caps we always go into OT so why should tonight be any different?
