Well, Alan, this was absolutely the definition of a 60-minute hockey game because after 40 minutes did not have a good feeling.

But the Caps kept grinding away, grinding away, and here we are aisles of the game in hand, but they're tied on points at 81.

Yeah, kind of a deceptive game when you look at how it was played and just some of the things that went on.

The Caps did have the puck a ton in the second period, but it seemed like all the best scoring chances were by the Islanders. The Caps had the puck on the outside of the game, and eventually in the third period, they took it inside, started the battle in front of the net, and got themselves a couple of, one nice goal, one lucky goal, and then the third goal obviously

had nothing to do with anything other than just being really bad luck and really good luck

at the same time.

That's a little lockerism right there.

I like that, Alan, Ryan, Billy, Jacob Vranagh, and we have a new nickname, the babe, because

he called his shot tonight.

The intermission interview, he said get to the net. Good things happen. And that's how he scored his goal. Well, I was going to go back to his other nickname. See, last night, they were throwing snakes at John Tavares. Tonight, it's Jake to stink. How about that? There you go. There you go. He gets the first. Ovi gets the second, and T.J.

O'Shee credited with the third that Josh Bailey put into his own net.

Caps get a big win.

The Capitals Talk podcast starts now.

134 to go as O'S scoops it off the glass and back onto the New York side.

Look at this.

Towards the empty cage!

Oh, Bailey just put it in his own goal and he ices this perhaps for Washington.

I'm not even sure he knew.

Does it count?

Yeah, sure it does.
