The Rangers got their first win of the season from a Marian Gaborik OT breakaway.
As both the Rangers and the Bruins wiped the sweat from their forehead, they were able to enjoy their first round wins… for an hour before realizing they are playing each other in two days. Catch your breath because the fun has just begun. A classic Original Six matchup for two teams that haven’t met in the postseason since 1973 and two cities that plain and simple don’t like each other (only in sports). Only two weeks removed from Celtics/Knicks playoffs, MSG and TD Bank Garden will host a rivalry that goes back to 1926. If you think this series will be similar to either first round series, think again.

Derek Stepan’s pair of game winners was the first time since 1997 (Adam Graves).
When the New York Rangers met up with the Washington Capital in 2009, the headlines were easy; League’s Elite Scorer vs. League’s Elite Goaltender. As it turned out, that’s exactly what happened in that first matchup. Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist stole three of the first four game and Capitals winger Alexander Ovechkin produced goals before his teammates joined the party in Game 5 to down the Rangers in seven games. In 2011, the script was very much the same. The Rangers had to keep the Capitals offense down and the Caps had to break through the Rangers defense. The Caps won that series in 5, which featured a Double OT win in Game 4, but last year was different. The Capitals featured a more defensive style as neither team scored more than 3 goals/game in the series that the Rangers won in seven games. So far, this series appears to be MUCH different.

There was no scoring until Mike Green’s one-timer crossed the goal line.
There’s always that saying in life- usually when talking to a lonely person at the end of a bar slowly sipping a drink- when they talk about, “The one that got away.” Perhaps it was a moment when things were perfect, but just bad timing. Perhaps it was a bad situation made good, but ended in tragedy. Perhaps it was all just the dream where you awoke without what you wanted.
