After a spectacularly underwhelming performance in game 5, the Islanders willed their way to victory with an inspired 3-1 victory in Nassau Coliseum forcing a deciding seventh game Monday night. It was a performance that reminded Long Islanders of the team captivated the league and stole the show for most of 2015. The determination shown by John Tavares and company provided the spark needed to outwit a Capitals team that was very confident they would put a somber end the Islanders days at the Coliseum.
Now the tide shifts to the Verizon Center where everything hangs in the balance. It will be do or die in an atmosphere that will not be very forthcoming to the men in blue and orange. The steady attack and hard nosed skating they showed in Game 6 will be absolutely necessary if they come out on top. The last time these two teams squared off in a game seven was the Easter Epic of 1987, with that kind of history and the physicality this series has brought thus far, this game shaping up to be another one for the ages.
