Ben Shelley: Notes from Game 3: Islanders vs. Capitals

"They outshot the Capitals 34-23..."

Amazing. I was in full panic mode after watching them fail to get shots while scoring a little over a dozen in their last 13 games. Injuries didn't explain the lack of offense.

Nice turnaround. I guess a little rest means everything.

Yeah upstate you promised.

It would be fun, but not advisable, to go full weight and hammer the Caps. Toews out, chuk in. Brassard centers Moose and Ross. I would enjoy a 2015 replay, with us winning.

I think you maybe right. He used to talk about break outs and defensive schemes and didn’t know what the (frank) he was talking about either

Kindlyrick was blind?

Once again, the Ritalin kid makes no sense.

McAvoy just destroyed Staal

The Canes have just crumble in the 3rd

Four unanswered goals in the 3rd for Boston. Canes not a shot on net in 15 minutes

The Canes are just collapsing! I was hoping they'd tie up the series.

4-2 and Carolina doesn’t have a shot in the 3rd

Did Cappy take over for Brindamore ?

Anybody know where the hell is Bingo?

Honest, well written, blog, but Tanner’s take was more amusing and that’s why I come on hockeybuzz. For a laugh.

"It’s an ongoing debate in Toronto, whether Shanahan erred in choosing Dubas over Lamoriello.."

I thought the plan from day 1 was Lamo teaches Dubas the ropes and then leaves.
I guess with Lamo gone, they get long hair and no shaving. With Babs gone, they don't have the drudgery of defensive play.


I think the Leafs are a perfect example of what happens when you let the players run the show.

When did you quit staying home for laughs?

So is this the game Trotz finally gets Johnston in and puts Barzal on the wing? A guy can dream...
