Capitals’ insane return beats the Islanders in memes

Capitals’ insane return beats the Islanders in memes

by

Last night’s 6-3 victory over the New York Islanders was a roller coaster of emotions. And again, Washington Capitals’ social media relied on memes to portray the emotions of Caps fans perfectly.

After finishing the first period with 3-0, things didn’t look good for the Caps, but when they returned to the second period they were ready to show the Isles who was in charge. Conor Sheary scored his first pair of goals as Capital, followed by Garnet Hathaway’s equalizer. Within three minutes, the game was a draw.

Speechless after Carlson’s goal

Three minutes later, in power play, John Carlson sent a flying Ovechkin to give the Caps the first advantage of the night 4-3. Like most Caps fans, Capitals’ Twitter was also left speechless.

Bestie vibrates only after Chara’s score

With a minute to go before the second, Zdeno Chara hit a powerful shot from the edge to score his first goal as Capital. The Caps went crazy on the bench celebrating the first goal of the great EEZ while increasing the advantage by 5-3. The team was very happy for Chara and gave him a lot of support headbeats.

Capitals’ twitter asked a very important question about Chara, but the answer is yes.

Was the second period really real?

After the period ended, Capitals Twitter reflected on what just happened and they were just as shocked as the rest of us.

Caps showed the big guns in the second

The Caps posted another meme to show how crazy the first two periods of the game were.

Using the ‘L’ meme against rivals

Perhaps the best post of the night came from our own Ian Oland, after the games secured the victory. After fans predicted that some “haters” would photoshop an L on the Caps’ new third shirt after a potential loss Tuesday night, Oland showed that the only one getting an L was the Islanders. Capitals have not yet lost in regulation, as they set a new franchise record of eight consecutive opening games with at least one point.
