It’s been a bizarre season for the Caps when it comes to games in the “friendly” confines of Cap One Arena. For years a team that dominated on home ice, this year they’ve been just about .500 and struggled mightily in recent months. So it is with great relief that we bid farewell to the regular season’s slate of home games (and hope for better things in the playoffs) – and do so on yet another losing note, as the Caps just didn’t seem to be invested at all in beating the Islanders and as a result fell 4-1.
Here’s Tuesday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus – The Caps scored the first goal of the game for the sixth-consecutive time and the ninth in their last 11. And… that’s about it.
Minus – Letting Casey Cizikas hit double digits in goals for the season on a blatantly bad (and a little bizarre) misplay-floater combo pack is just unacceptable, for both defender and goalie.
And now, a little appreciation for the GOAT.
A few more notes on the game:
Further to that point… woof.
Rematch on Thursday.
