Rooting for the Isles big, but favor the Caps pretty comfortable. Just hard for me to see the Isles with that D winning in DC without last change and worse matchups. I also don't trust Halak at all. That last L against CBJ will haunt the Isles as game 7 is in DC. That and game 2, which is a game the Isles clearly should have won. Truth be told I haven't been that impressed with the Caps. Outside of game 5 I don't love how they have looked. Short rest for them, home ice for us, OV and Backstrom on one line. Stay out of the box and I think we beat the Caps.
Yeah, close in terms of who we should root for, but NYI/NYR would be a ton of fun. Truth be told at days end I think both teams are similar so not sure it matters which team wins game 7. Both will be long, tough, physical series. Just happy we got 7.
