Playoffs Round 1 - Washington/New York Rangers Series Discussion Thread

Talk about the Caps and the Rangers here!

I get the feeling Lundqvist is going to stretch this series. despite the loss, he played well. The OT goal was certainly no fault of his, and the OV goal was jammed through.

a good win for the Caps though. Verizon center looked like a fun place to be last night.

For lack of a quick whistle the Blueshirts might've stolen this one,good game and if the Rangers can score more than 1 I definitely give them the goaltending edge,still say Caps in 6

CAPS in 4 all the way

i will be going to wed's game 4 at MSG,, hopefully Caps win game 3 & 4 and sweep the series! Would be awesome to be there when they win the round! I think rangers will win one of the two remaining though and send it to a game 5

DOOBIE,DOOBIE,DOO-Brandon dubinsky scores with a little over a minute left in regulation.Blueshirts win 3-2 not gonna be swept at the least.

As they're fond of saying...we've got us a series.

I'm really surprised to see that the Capitals have been outshot by a good margin in the last two games. This is not the same team that I remember against Montreal last year.

Yea Richard hopefully this win will give the Rangers the incentive they need to make this a long series.A loss today and a sweep would've been inevitable,just like to have a rooting interest in the playoffs so as long as the Rangers last is what will keep me watching.And your guy Carey Price is making your awesome collection more awesome with each passing game.Take care Steve

LOL He's also making me pay more for cool stuff. :p

While I do think that ultimately the Caps will win this series, Lundqvist definitely has the ability to keep the Rangers fighting and may yet steal it for them. They've got an edge between the pipes but can their scorers get the finish going?

[spuds1961]

Yea I picked the Caps in six I'm a Rangers fan but I'm a realist.I think they can get shots but like you said actually putting them in the net is a problem.Now I get to root against another Rangers team GO-YANKEES BEAT THOSE TEXAS RANGERS.
