Honestly, teams are starting to figure us out with our transition game and we are becoming to predictable with our breakouts. AV and his coaching staff have to come up with a better game plan to attack. To many passes up the middle being broken up.

I agree with you, this may be a short series in favor of the Caps. I'm tired of this garbage.

Multi tasking, ever heard of it?

Quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Amazing that the Backstrom hit directly led to a goal with 1 second left.

Got to believe the ref's just were blocked out from seeing it. They actually called a really good game. poop happens. Have to win Saturday now.

At the end of the day, you don't go through the playoffs without some adversity. Either you get through it or it kills you. That was a tough loss. Let's see what they are made of now.

Honestly though, I was preparing for a win tonight, loss Saturday. If it is flipped OK. But I really think we needed to take game 1 with having those advantages.

I'm ok, just a wee bit po'ed. We blew a lot of chances tonight. We should have won this game.

We are winning this series, F the Caps, F the Habs, F the Fems and F the Kings, they can all suck on mine when it's done!!!!

Difference between the ledge and having a concern. Call me crazy but if this is Game 2 I am not concerned. Maybe I just but too much emphasis on Game 1 but it historical has a massive success rate with winning the series.

wtf

I'm overreacting, of course. Like the trolls are. Rangers did play well.

That's the spirit

Well that was a wet dream gone bad. Rangers lost the game bc Ovechkin had way too much room and the Rangers made life too easy for Holtby. Period. Yes, probably a penalty, yes Boyle probably shouldn't have been on the ice, but Ward was wide open and let's be honest, that's one Hank usually comes up with. They lost their minds at the end of the first and it cost them a goal and they lost their minds at the end of the 3rd and it cost them the game. They weren't going to sweep anyone, down a game, put your socks on tomorrow, go to work and lets even this thing on Saturday!

Yea I wasn't saying you. Just fellas in general. Rangers seem to play their best when facing adversity. Curious to see them come out on Saturday

Gotta say I'm not impressed at all by the Capitals' notorious "physical play". They didn't impress me at all in that regard

Tough (frank)ing break

I blame Tom for leaving early

They scored right after he left.

Am I the only one really pissed with JT Miller on that goal rather than Boyle?

He put on a Backstrom jersey and headshotted Boyle.

Boyle needs to sit, put Hunwick back in - yes I'm Captain Obvious

It wouldn't surprise me one bit

In case anyone hasn't seen it, this is the play causing all the consternation.
