Last night's game was great. Really nice to see the Caps steal at least one on the road from the Rangers. Now we just need to take care of business on our end and we'll be good. I don't see any reason we can't beat the Rangers this series.

Only reason I see is that we aren't generating enough offense. With Hunter seemingly hell-bent on keeping Ovi off the ice with a lead we're giving up a good chance at putting away games. If this team actually ends up getting deeper into the playoffs it will be on the back of one-goal wins. We get a lead and Hunter's first move is to go into "protect at all costs" mode. That works in the 3rd but in the 1st and 2nd we need to be putting some pressure on the Rangers.
