Isles' Capuano bleeds for his boys

New York Islanders head coach Jack Capuano had to leave the bench late in Game 1 after taking a puck to the nose during the third period Wednesday in Tampa, Fla.

The Amalie Arena staff took the opportunity to play the iconic Queen lyric "You've got blood on your face, you big disgrace," as Isles assistant coach Bob Corkum took over behind the bench.

Capuano's Islanders were leading 4-2 when a puck ricocheted out of play and into the New York bench, striking him square in the face. When he returned five minutes later, the Lightning had closed the gap to 4-3 and were pressing for the tying goal. 

But with Tampa's net empty, Cal Clutterbuck scored to make it 5-3 and give the Isles a 1-0 series lead.

Game 2 is scheduled for Saturday at 3 p.m. ET in Tampa.
