Isles Take 1st Loss, 2-1 Capitals.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


The Isles first loss comes off of a game that they dominated.

Photo Of The Game:


Park gave the Isles a 1-0 lead in the first when he wristed one in off of a great pass by Bootland.

Viktor Kozlov (boo) tied up the game when he slapped one behind Dipietro.

The Capitals got the game-winning goal when Brooks Laich finished off a play that burned Ricky.

My 3 Stars (and the game's 3 Stars):

1. Olaf Kolzig- Made it look easy out there, stopping 30 out of 31.
2. Brooks Laich- Scored the game-winner.
3. Brendan Witt- How many bruises does he have now? He got in the way of 6 today.


Notes From The Game:

-The Isles absolutely dominated this game, in shots (31 to 12), and puck control, and in almost every category there is, except for the only one that counts.

-I'm still disgusted with the refs. They blew a huge call on a Hunter breakaway. They also called off the last icing that would have given the Isles another chance. Clearly, there was no reason to call it off.

-Martinek got a lot of penalties today. We had 6 in total, and Radek had half of them.

-2-1. It's still good.




I was happy with the way the Isles played, we just couldn't find the back of the net.

Wednesday- Isles vs. Rangers! More great action!


Let's Go Isles!!!
