    Terrible goal allowed by Holtby. As much as the Caps have dominated it is 1-1. Come on Isles.

    Looking forward to OT or more. Agree. Terrible goal.

    Bolts speed shredding Wing D. The speed boys are lurking for long
    passes. Bolts up 4-2.

    FINAL: Lightning 5 Wing 2

    2-1 Caps with just over six minutes to go. No penalties at all in the game.

    Rangers need to go after two big D men, Carlson and Orpik......force these
    two into errors.

    Only penalty of game gives Isles last gasp chance to tie this game.

    Capuano was stupid, you pull the goalie to create a 6/4

    IT IS THE CAPITALS. Barry Trotz has instilled in the Caps defense first, offense
    will come............................remind anyone of a former Ranger coach's words.

    Rangers in 6.

    Well, the Islanders can now regret losing home ice for this series.

    Isles with 11 or 12 shots all game, simply not good enough. Caps pretty much dominated the game. Like I said prior to the game the killer was blowing game 2 and blowing the shootout to the BJ's in game 82 which gave the Caps home ice, the true deciding factor in this series.

    I think we'll beat the Caps, but it will be a long series, I would say 7 games. This Caps team I thought all season was a real good team and was due for a little playoff run. I also don't like playing them AGAIN as they are due to beat us in a series sooner or later. Don't love it, especially without Zucc, and much rather would have played the Isles, but it is what it is. Now go play most likely Thursday night.

    I will say they were very up and down against the Isles. Game 5 they were great and tonight they were very good, but the other 5 games the Caps were nothing special. To me limit OV to 4 goals +/- AND stay out of the box and we'll be okay. Their size and cheapness concern me, but I think we are deeper and a better team overall. I like OV and Backstrom playing together as it hurts their depth. Use McD and Girardi against them and we should be decently okay.

    He's back. Practiced today and said he is 100% and playing game 1, would have played game 6 if necessary.

    During the regular season the Rangers were 3-1 against the Capitals with 13 goals for, 10 against and 117 shots on goal for and 116 against. (HR)

    7 games in 2012 and 7 games in 2013.

    Doesn't get much closer than that. And I will say 7 again.

    I do think Klein being back is a huge key for this series. Put McD/Girardi against OV and Backstrom. Staal/Klein is advantage us against any other Caps line. And having Yandle/Boyle as the 3rd pair is a huge luxury.

    I agree to disagree, Chuck. This is not the same Ranger team. The only thing is they
    are playing the same sweater. It will be a tough series.....aren't they all.
    We shall see how composed the Rangers will be against the Cap pounding
    tactics......it usually takes its toll on the aggressor. This Ranger team is not due
    to be beaten by the Capitals.
