New York Rangers score bizarre goal to open scoring in game four

The New York Rangers were in a must-win situation in game four against the Washington Capitals.  Being down 3-1 going back to Washington would have been a huge hole for the Blue Shirts. Late in the first period, Capitals goalie Braden Holtby went to play the puck and committed one of the cardinal sins of playing the puck in the defensive zone.  If you’re a goalie and you’ve...

Tracking the Playoffs: Rangers vs. Capitals Game 2

Despite being favored by most of the advanced stats community to win this series, the Rangers find themselves down 2-0 to the Washington Capitals and have looked very sloppy in both losses. They outplayed the Caps in Game One and didn't come away with the results they were hoping for, but the Rangers were just bad yesterday. The Caps weren't much better despite having a massive...

Alex Ovechkin’s inability to say “hockey at its best” leads to hilarious blooper reel

While shooting some sort of playoff promo, Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin is given the speaking line “hockey at its best,” which seems simple enough, until you remember that Ovi’s first language isn’t English. Hilarity promptly ensues. As funny as Ovechkin’s difficulty grasping the English language is, John Carlson’s spit-take is the real highlight of this blooper reel...
