Get the remote control handy — the Washington Capitals begin their Stanley Cup run tonight and they are totally going to get it this time. First off, they have to get past the New York Rangers which they have done in 2009 and 2011, but not in 2012. Vengeance for last year’s elimination is [...]
The Capitals stayed alive in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, beating the New York Rangers 2-1 at Verizon Center.

Jason Chimera also scored.
The series [...]
Just getting back from Spring Break in the Grand Stand — I completely missed Game 1 which the Caps lost. They came back to take home-ice advantage away from the Rangers last night though. They went up 2-0, but the Rags came back. Alex Ovechkin scored the game-winner to move the series back to D.C.

Dear Washington Capitals, if you start playing a full three periods, you may not have to play an extra one.
Caps outshot in Pittsburgh 41-19, still win. They gave up a point they didn’t have to though.
The Caps were lethargic in the first and third periods, they were lucky the Penguins didn’t put them away early.

Matt Bradley, a scrappy folk hero for the Washington Capitals for many seasons, is now a member of the Florida Panthers.
