... well, aside from a 4-3 loss in a game that the Capitals for the most part dominated: Sean Avery. In particular, how did the referees not call Interference when Avery repeatedly pushed Mike Green back into the Rangers' bench? Clearly a penalty. The non-call (Interference, again) when Fleischmann was taken down in the Rangers' zone, leading to a break the other way that produced a Rangers goal. Jeff Schultz apparently tripping over the faceoff circle, leading to the GWG. 'Nuff said. Walking to the Metro after the game and seeing a kid wearing a Rangers Jagr jersey. Double-whammy there... bad enough that The Jagr Experiment went horribly awry, but the fact that the Caps paid for a third of Jagr's goals while he was a Ranger... ouch. Lest you think I'm a pessimist, there was plenty of goodness in last night's game: Viktor Kozlov scored his first goal in 22 playoff appearances. Alex Ovechkin played his usual brilliant game. Matt Bradley brought the pain via a few crushing hits -- and...

Ugh...defense and goaltending kill the Caps
It was an intensely fought battle and, in the end, the Caps succumbed to poor defense and goaltending. Highlights and observations:Jeff Schultz got owned by Brandon Dubinsky and then Jose Theodore muffed the save. Just an unbelievably awful play. Alex Ovechkin came to play as he had 2 assists, 13 shots, 6 hits, 3 takeaways and played +2 hockey in 26:07. Ovie got the first...
