Congrats to the Caps! They stole one tonight on a night they were outplayed.
Also, I feel like an assist should go to the crowd tonight. They were amazing and I really think they gave the Caps some extra momentum during the last 5 minutes.
For real though, where is Rick Nash?
Amazing considering the NYR are invincible on the road
Boarding Bruce Orpik.

If Backstroms hit wasn't boarding now way Nash's hit was boarding...
For real though, where is Rick Nash?
7 shots on goal, 15 attempted.
He's just on a massive run of poor luck right now. His deflection on Holtby with around 30 seconds left was our best chance.

Watching the highlights on NHL looked like the Caps had some unreal chances and Lunquvist kept them in it despite the shots. Some are saying the Caps got outplayed though?
And yet Holtby wasn't tested (not saying you believe this but others do). It amazes me how little credit sound positional technique gets. Only when goalies make crazy side to side saves are they credited with playing well. Anyone who has ever played goalie knows how good positioning can make tough saves look easy.
[MOD] The Rangers are indeed great on the road. You want to gloat, do it after they can pull off another win in game 4.
I think all 3 games have been the same. Rangers have had more sustained pressure but Caps have had better high end chances.
