It looked as if the Islanders were on their way to going up 2-0 against the Capitals. First the Capitals were to be without their number one keeper Braden Holtby who was out with a sickness. His replacement, rookie Philipp Grubauer.
In a perfect world the Isles would have taken complete advantage with the kid in net. They would have peppered him with shots and completely seized the game and series. That never happened. What did happen was two blown two goal leads. A whole ton of play in their own zone and a possible investigation into the possibility the Capitals may have tampered with the Isles sticks.
