Rangers 1, Capitals 0

No time to blog. We won, but not by enough. I'm thrilled and nervous. As Naslund said, "One goal is not going to cut it." As usual, I'm happy that at least we seem to know it. We've been outshot 70-45 in the two games so far. That's not surprising, but we're not gonna keep winning like that. Simeon Varlamov didn't hold up much better than Theodore to a little bit of poking, and we have to assume that one of these two goalies will play a good game soon. We're going to need to really bring the pressure, more than you might think.

Defensively, it seems, Redden and Rozsival are playing decently. If they continue doing that, and we stop using them on the PP, we might be in okay shape there. Not necessarily 11-million-dollar shape, but okay shape.

So, we need to get more pucks to the net. And at the end of the day, we're STILL gonna need a huge performance from our ever-MVP, King Henrik. Let's hope he puts on another show.

Sorry, I'm in a lot of meetings at work, so this entry is pretty short. We know what we have to do, and it has to be more than we've been doing if we want to go up 3-0 tonight. That said, it's hard to imagine my reaction to being told a week ago that we'd be taking a 2-0 series lead back to New York. So, let's see what we can do for the Garden Faithful. I, for one, can't wait to hear them.
