Hello hockey fans, I am coming to you live from the home of the defending Stanley Cup Champs in Washington, DC at Capital One Arena. Where the defending Stanley Cup Champions have been pushed to the brink and if they have any illusions of repeating it begins with a critical Game 7 on their home ice this evening. No one expected the young Carolina Hurricanes to have much of a chance in this series. I, like most of you out there, saw the Caps wrapping this up in somewhat easy fashion. But now we have a real series on our hands and from an Islander fan perspective LETS GO CANES!!!!! The Hurricanes would clearly be the more favorable matchup for the Islanders being that the Isles handled them with ease during the regular season. The Capitals on the other hand split with our Islanders this year going back to October when the regular season began. As far as goaltending is concerned it would certainly be easier to deal with Peter Mrazek in between the pipes as opposed to Braden Holtby. But hey, it is the NHL playoffs and certain players catch fire at odd times. So you can be sure the Islanders will be tuned in this evening to see whether they will be staying put in NY as the 2nd round gets underway, or traveling the open road to Washington, DC. You can catch tonights Game 7 between the Caps and Canes on NBCSN channel 212 on your optimum cablevision provider. Lets Go Canes!!!!!!!
