Agreed. New York, New York and other cheezy things. But seriously, I want that too, don't know why but just love the idea of any New York New York battle.

There is nothing like a game seven.

I like the Islanders winning this game due to Halak coming up big in two consecutive game sevens and both were on the road!

Wow, they just mentioned the Caps are the only team in NA sports history to lose 3 game 7s at home in consecutive years (08-10). They are far more cursed in the playoffs than the Flames ever were.

[FireGilbert]

1-0 Caps. Ward knocks in a rebound with about a minute and a half to go in the second.

Wow have not been following this series at all. Had no idea Glencross was scratched for games 4,5 and 6

Only 7 shots through 2 periods in an elimination game? The Islanders don't deserve to go to the 2nd round.

Halak is the only reason the Islanders are losing 1-0. He has stopped twenty shots so far.

[hwy19man]

Here we go, the Capitals are going to be playing hang on. This is going to be a wild third period.

[PrettyBoyFlizzy]

Awful goal to give up.

[FireGilbert]

Tie game. Really weak on Holtby who has been bored for most of the game.

[hwy19man]

That goal smells bad.

[Delthefunky]

geez, anyone just see that miss?

[Senator Clay Davis]

Halak keeps it tied with a big time save/not so great shot.

[browna]

That was Reichel Game 7 1994-esque from Beagle.

[FireGilbert]

What a sick goal. Maybe the Caps aren't cursed after all.

[PrettyBoyFlizzy]

Great goal. Come on Islanders

[GranteedEV]

That Kuznetsov goal was beautiful.

Go Orpik playing D on his knees after losing a skate blade.
