Potvin’d: Pinch Yourselves, The New York Islanders Dominated Game 1

O Captain! My Captain!

Did you think I wasn’t going to make this reference at some point in Potvin’d? Well, guess again!

But at this point, what else can be said about the Islanders captain, John Tavares? The man continued his torrid streak of play, notching two more points in the Game 1 victory. In addition to getting credited with a secondary assist on Travis Hamonic‘s goal that opened the scoring for New York, Tavares knocked Ben Bishop out of the game in the second with a blistering snipe.

As things currently stand, Tavares leads all players in the playoffs with 11 points, and is showing no indication of slowing down. With secondary scoring providing the bulk of the goals this evening, things are looking up for the Islanders offense…
