The Rangers excel at playing down low hockey, the Capitals, they are not a good down low defending team.
Can they be a dominating team? Sometimes, but they are and have been a very VERY beatable group this season.
and I think that the Rangers prove that to be true this year

I think you should start fearing a team that has been first in the conference twice in a row, in 2nd place (3 years back), and 3rd place (4 years back). There's no hidden surprises there. They have dynamo offensive power. Sure, we could have beat them two years ago and blew it. I don't think they're unbeatable by any means. But I think you're not giving them the respect they deserve. IF the Rangers somehow find a way to win (without Callahan), it will be in 6 or 7 games and really hard-fought. More likely, Washington in 5 or 6.
