Caps win again victim Islanders

The Caps have now beaten the Islanders the last two times they have played. They started off with a tough goal scored on a wrap around attempt that Boyd Gordon would eventually stiff into the net (assisted by Brashear Steckle.) Then it would be two nothing once Brooks Laich drove to the net lost the puck but it would slide pas a poke check by goalie Mcdonald and go 5 hole (assisted by Green and Johnson). The Islanders would fire back and get a goal from Weight who got a lucky deflection off Poti's stick. The Caps woould then make it 3-1 with a goal from Jurcina froma shot from D lnad the point that would beat Mcdonald far post. (assisted by ALZNER ANd Kozlov) The Islanders would make things three two on a goal from Park. Ovechkin would make it 4-2 on a sweet behind the bakc backhand from Semin which AO would fire into the net whoich was pretty wide open after the great Smein feed (assisted by Semin and Backstrom). The Islanders would score twice in the 3rd one very late with about two minutes left gaols by Sutton and SIm. Ovechkin would get the last laugh and the gamewiiner in OT after hitting the post on a backhand he got another chance late Backstrom would feed AO until Ovechkin found a shooting lane he liked and snapped a wrister passed Mcdonald top shelf far post and the Caps won there 4th staright. AO first star Park 2nd and ALzner 3rd. Johnson stopped 35 shots as he was busier than usual tonight. They lead the SE by 8 over Caroilina and ten by Florida. They next face the St Louis Blues at home and hope to continue there now 4 game W STreak and make it 5 vs St Louis. LET"S GO CAPS!!!!!
