in the first round i would argue the opposite is necessary. i think its preferable to dispatch a team for a change. first round adversity is too much like the failed past

Since it appears the Caps will face the Rangers, in your opinion, how best can the Caps dispatch the Rangers quickly? Play their game and grind them out?

I may not have been clear, although dispatching a team early would also constitute variety for this Caps bunch that seems to play seven-game series all the time.

I meant that it would be nice to see some different teams once in a while. Divisional rivalries involving the Caps are overdue. The TB-FLA, TB-CAR, CAR-ATL rivalries are already somewhat rich. The Caps need some rivalries with divisional foes.

Devils fan here that is on the Caps bandwagon. I hope you guys go deep and Arnott gets another shot at the Cup.

Quasimoto · 04-09-2011, 06:49 PM

just play their game and get physical, don't get annoyed by any of the players

Ovechkins Wodka · 04-09-2011, 06:52 PM

rangers fans feel they are gonna walk over the caps

i would take 4 2-1/3-1 w/eng in a row. but the caps have rocked ludqvist in the past.

Vokoun has the potential to substantially shake up the Eastern Conference if one of the powers signs him this summer.

WetHog · 04-09-2011, 07:19 PM

Collins looked good on that sequence there. Who is he playing for again?

**Drake1588** · 04-09-2011, 07:21 PM

4-0 Tb.

canes fans were talking about the intangibles and clutchness of stall in the backstrom vs staal thread

now they want to trade him badly

NUEVY DONT DO THAT IN THE PLAYOFFS

giving canes pity calls

tripp its over

**Drake1588** · 04-09-2011, 07:27 PM

The Hurricanes have drawn a huge number of powerplays, too, including a 5-on-3 they just scored on at about 6:30 left in the second period.

For all their opportunities they are only 15.9 percent on the PP this year.

Ovechkins Wodka · 04-09-2011, 07:28 PM

canes get a 5 on 3 goal to make it 4-1... i kindof want them to comeback, those cocky ranger fans are already getting under my skin lol
