Caps vs. Isles Recap: Islanders Stop Caps 3-2

Related Topics: New York Islanders

The Capitals arranged for ethically-sourced organic hemp jerseys for their foray into Brooklyn, but they must not have shown up and the good guys lost 3-2 in the mecca of hip-hop.

Here's Tuesday night's Plus/Minus:

Plus: John Carlson was back in the lineup and didn’t show too much rust. None too quick, either, lest our defensive weakness show like old Coppertone ads.

Minus: Losing to the cotdamn Islanders. Shades of Milbury.

And now, this..

Ten more notes on the game:

1. The game got off to a patriotic and healthful start, with Captain America John Carlson back in the lineup for the first time since getting injured before the All-Star break.
