Caps Beat Islanders

The Caps started off sleepily as if they werent prepared or didnt know that they were playing a game doin nothing in 2 periods but the third they came alive after allowing a defelction to go in and make it 2 nothing Mike Green came down the ice and blasted a mean slapper high far side for his 2nd from Knuble and Laich. Then Aucoin would rap around and Ovie caused a major ditsractionas he was checked into the golaie and landed on top of the net! But Aucoin would rap around and get a good bounce and the puck went in game tied at 2 Keith's 1st from Ovie and Schultz. Then OT would end suddenly when Green flicked a centering pass and Laich got his stick on it and sent into the back of the net five hole i believ game over 3-2 after when after 45 minutes they trailed 2-0 and were in danger of being shutout and hey there great scoring D provided a mean slapeshot and rookie Keith Aucoin made haste around the net to get his goal and Laich with the great one time wrister so great game and Jose made some great stops the first he allowed was shorthanded and it was a mean shot that he would have to block his five hole with some vigor a save he made not too much ealrier but that one got through but Jose made 28 stops and allowed just 2 goals so his play has been better statwise than Varlamov but Varlamov is winning more and neither have been short of spectacular on saves. PPs Caps 0-4 NYI 0-2 Laich 1st star 1 G 1A ans Green 3rd 1 G 1A. Caps now 6-2-2 riding a 4 game winning streak next up Tuesday Flers come to DC for a Verizon visit on Versus the 3 Vs NIce HUH.
