First playoff match-up set: Caps vs. Rangers

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029]

What a game this was. Freak play at the end, and the grinder Jason Chimera ends it. Rangers in a big hole now.

If that happened to the Wings... I don't know what I'd do. It would just break my back as a Wings fan.

Damn you to HELL Gaborik. I splurged on good seats for round 2 game 1 and it was actually looking like that had a chance of happening. You owe me money Marian Gaborik, what the hell were you thinking?!?

You can't get your money back if the Rags don't make Round 2?

Yeah, I can I just wanted to go. Just wanted a playoff game in good seats at MSG. It's a good thing that Penn Station is downstairs from MSG so Gaborik can get on a train, any train the hell out of town.

Caps up on a PP goal and a brawl, looking to be a good game.

[Konnan511 1,736]

Hope Green is OK, that looked nasty.

[Klunzo 36]

OV makes it 2-0.

What was that penalty on NYR at 5:59 of the 2nd period? Prospal in the box for coach/manager on ice-bench minor. I'm not watching the game, did Torts blow a fuse?

Maybe the refs just figured to tell Torts that he is a terrible coach?

[under_par_00 45]

Ah penalty was changed now to unsportsmanlike conduct. I thought it was a little early for Torts to lose it.

gaborik died. only guy who has the talent to score and he hasnt shown up since last year.

get mccabe for what? he hasnt done s***, you need scoring offensmen not defense. Cant really credit caps defense cause the rags have no offense to judge on.

goodbye rags

I'm torn. I have a Rangers jersey in my closet (Shanny), but also a Caps jersey (Ovechkin). Choices, choices.

But you know, I gotta go with the Caps. I want success for Ovechkin.

The guy has a multiyear 7-mil contract and a Ferrari in each continent. What more could he want? He didn't even know what the Stanley Cup was before he came over the pond.

[edicius 3,269]

And that's game.

Game. Set. Series.

New York teams are not meant for playoffs since the Knicks are getting smashed by the Celtics as well in that series.

Yeah, but from what I understand, the Knicks were barely a playoff team as it stood. At least the Rags have Lundqvist who could easily steal a series.

[Konnan511 1,736]

I understand Lundy is a top 5 goalie in the league, but how the hell did the rags make the playoffs?

The Knicks aren't that bad but injured. They have Carmelo, Amare who is playing injured and missing Billups. If injuries weren't a factor it would probably be a great series.

The East just isn't that deep. *shrug*

Honestly, I think it's because the Devils crapped the bed this year and ultimately gave the Rangers their spot in the division.

Damn, Neuvirth! Impressive, even in a game like this.

Wings need to move to the East since it is basically 6 or 7 really good teams and the rest is average or bottom feeders.

[brett 1,029]

LOL that tells you all about gaborik. final 3 mins, hes not even out there.

7mil for gaborik and almost 7mil for drury and theyre not even playing

Whereas in the West, you could really say that only 2 teams this year didn't have a realistic shot at the playoffs - Edmonton and Colorado. Even Columbus had a decent season.

Lundqvist is a good guy.

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029]

Interesting to see what the Rangers do in the offseason. That Boogaard signing looks stupid right now, Glen! Wonder if they'll waive him or try to move him. Prust is a UFA this summer I believe. Same with Boyle, if i'm not mistaken.
