When all was said and done, the New York Rangers had saved their best for last.

Henrik Lundqvist turned in his second straight shutout as the Rangers crushed the Washington Capitals 5-0 in Game 7 of their Eastern Conference Quarter Final series. Five different Rangers scored, as New York completed their rally from 0-2 and 2-3 deficits in the series with a dominant performance that had many Capital fans heading to the exits early in the third period.  Continue reading →

Mike Ribeiro scored off a scramble in front at the 9:24 mark of overtime, ending another night of frustration for the New York Rangers in Washington as the Capitals won 2-1. The victory gives Washington a 3-2 series lead and pushed New York to the brink of elimination with Game 6 looming Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden.

“Frustrating and disappointing, but it’s not over,” Henrik Lundqvist, once again valiant in defeat, told the media afterwards. “We have to go home and regroup. It’s going to be a tough couple hours and then you just forget about it.” Continue reading →

BY: Adam Gavriel, Exclusive to Howlings

Much to the delight of Rangers fans last night, not only did the team score four goals in the game, totaling eight in the last two, but the power play was also effective. Producing at a 1 for 4 clip, the Rangers power play was effective when they were able to gain the zone and set up.

The most encouraging product out of last night’s power play was the third goal in the game for the Rangers, Dan Girardi’s blast from the left point, to give the Rangers a 3-2 lead early in the third. A lead the Rangers would never relinquish as they went on to win the game and tie the series at two wins apiece. Continue reading →
