ECSF : (4) Washington Capitals vs. (1) New York Rangers

[Mckinley25 677]

The rangers should match up better against everybody, that defense looks like it'd be amazing on paper, its just not for some reason.

It seems big splashes at the trade deadline can be tricky because chemistry is so important.

Although as Bowman used to say, good players should be able to play with anyone.

Maybe yandle just doesn't like being a #6 defenseman, like it hurts his feelinga or something.

Also.

Can the caps please close this out tonight?

Agreed. It always ends up being the under the radar depth signings that work out well. Like what Stuart was for us in 2008.

:40 seconds in, kreider scores.

1-0 rags.

Holy hell.

The caps aren't looking good so far.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Any time now, Caps.

[Guest Playmaker]

I wouldn't mind seeing the Rangers win.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

The Capitals have a terrible playoff history. That has to be on their fans' minds right now.

[chicagooverrated 65]

Looks like Holtby ran out of luck

[Guest Playmaker]

But they have a new coach. Doesn't that change everything? Looks like they'll find out in game 7.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

So much parity now in the playoffs, that being up 3-0 or 3-1 in a series doesn't mean anything anymore.

This is so true. No wonder why we are seeing so much of that now.

[aflac9262 211]

Rangers doing their best impression of the Red Wings in the 3rd.

I just thought the same thing. Sigh...

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

Where did the Capitals get all these right handed shots? Holland has been looking for these guys for years.

[BobRouse03 31]

As much as I hate the Rangers I think the puck over the glass penalty is one of the worst rules in the NHL.

[chicagooverrated 65]

Backstrom is garbage

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

The Capitals came into the NHL in 1974. If I'm not mistaken, they've only been to the Conference Finals one time in their 40+ year history.

Pathetic.

I agree, and they messed it up on top of it.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Well I'll be watching Game 7.

[jimmyemeryhunter 2,747]

Well I'll be watching Game 7.

Me too.

But I'm pissed they didn't close it out in 5, or 6

[frankgrimes 1,836]

Rags are going home now and king Henrik will shut the door so Rags Tampa soon what a ecf that would be.

Pathetic.

They actually made it twice. In 1990, they were swept by the Bruins and in 1998 when they beat the Sabres, then got blasted in the Finals by the greatest franchise in sports.

But even still, that is pretty bad. They're good, but just not good enough to get into those elite rounds. Here's hoping that changes for Game 7. I like the Caps and I hope Ovi comes up big.

[amato 3,210]

Most of the third period looked like a capitals power play.. if they can come out with 60 minutes of that intense of an effort, no doubt in my mind they'll win.

When did the Capitals play against Real Madrid?

[kipwinger 8,521]

You heard it here first folks. Ovechkin with the first ever "Ovechtrick" in Game 7.

He guaranteed a win, and he'll deliver.
