Who would say anything negative about him?

Hahaha. Guilty as charged. Couldn’t be happier to be wrong.

Same here. That goal made up for everything else.

That goal was a pristine example of what Barzy used to do and stopped in favor of east/west crap. Just turn on the jets, head for the net and CREATE

lol @ all the late calls for Barzal to shoot more.

What a sequence to end this one. All Caps all but gone.

Isles really need to be careful in game 4. Some Caps aren't above laying guys out with dirty spoiler/revenge hits when there is nothing to lose.

Varlamov saved that game and Barzal finished it. Pretty awesome

Defenses have learned to push him to the outside and then double him up. Mat needed to adjust his game long ago.

Still a terror on breakaways, sucks at face offs. Move him to wing and tell him when in doubt, puckin shoot.

Hey, I was criticizing Eberle during the game, and he was the Islander with the best +/- today (+2). He gave Barzal a nice feed for the game winner.

I’m not worried about him. His worst game since the return and it wasn’t even that bad.

It's great!

They now have a strangle hold on the series. The Caps know they are done and have to be frustrated. I hope they can finish it out on Tuesday. Get this over with before someone gets hurt or the Caps start to take some runs at players.

Agreed. He was surprising me with his effective play before today. It seemed like he regressed a bit, but then came through when it counted the most.

I have very little faith in Eberle when he's in close quarters with any opponent.

Meh, a top line winger not registering a single shot on goal is reason for criticism.

Good point! The further we go, the less painful that #1 becomes. Regardless, JGP is one of my favorites now. He’s a great team guy. Like his personality and attitude too.

Couldn’t be happier to have him signed. Young guy still who checks a ton of boxes.
