Very sloppy game that they didn't really deserve to win, but I'll take it. Pageau might be the MVP of the team, and Beauvillier is Mister Clutch.
Another win. 48 points and that gives them an 11 point lead over 4th place Boston who holds the last playoff spot in the division. A 14 point lead over both the Rangers and Flyers. The Isles aren't perfect as we know but they are finding ways to win games and get points. With about 20-25 games left in this season they are on a quick pace to clinch a playoff spot. They could probably play .500 the rest of the way and still clinch. Still have work to do so on to Pittsburgh this Saturday night.
I’m not waiting for 5-0 this time. Guess the only way to enjoy this team is to simply skip watching when they play the Caps or Pens.
I don't know what it is about the Pens. They have a good first line but after that their roster is "meh". Yet they have the Isles number so have to give them credit. Big 6 game homestand starts this Thursday Caps Flyers Caps Flyers Rangers Rangers If they can manage 3-1 or at least 2-1-1 vs the Flyers and Rangers and get a split vs the Caps 1-1. I would consider 3-2-1 or 4-2 a decent homestand. Anything better than that is excellent. Any worse is disappointing.
Are the Isles a good bet tonight at -120? Feels like they're due to beat the Capitals at 0-3 against them and being so good at home.
Big win tonight. 8-4 over the Caps. Barzal with the hat trick. Great start to the six game home stand
