It was only a matter of time before the real Capitals and real Rangers showed up for their Eastern Conference semifinal series, and tonight was the night.
Partway through the 2nd period and it's already 3-0 Washington, with the Rangers looking like the 7th place team that they were. At least Boneman's Conference-winning Bruins are still in their game (2-2 in the 2nd).
Oh well, so much for watching the Rangers go through the postseason undefeated (at least it took them six games to kill that particular dream in the regular season this year, where usually it only requires the season opener!). I guess I get to watch 24 live tonight after all!
(And for those who wonder: it was the sequence in the 1st period where a Ranger missed a wide open net and then the Capitals carried it the length of the ice and scored to go up 2-0 that convinced me the home team's not going to win tonight. That was essentially a 2-goal swing in the span of a few seconds, and a low-scoring team like New York just isn't going to recover from that.)
