At times they did look dominate, but they couldn't score. The Rangers were in every game and very easily could have been up 3-1 instead of being down.

Scores of
2-1 Caps
2-0 Caps
3-2 NYR
4-3 Caps 2OT Prob the most impressive game for the Caps digging out of a 3-0 hole
3-1 Caps.

I really don't see where you get that they blew the Rangers doors off. Like you mentioned, the Bolts actually have guys who can fill the net. The Caps are in big trouble.

Of course they're in big trouble. But I'm going to go ahead and say when a team wins a series 4-1, the series really wasn't that close. Sure the Rangers played well for about two periods in game four, but aside from that, it was all Caps. It was readily apparent that the Rangers didn't have a chance by the end of the first game, IMO.

That being said, they're done. You don't come back from 2-0 holes on home ice. The Red Wings might also be done, but at least they're still in a home ice situation and can even the series in their own building. I'd like to see Draper or Modano make an appearance.

right now our biggest issue is lack of powerplay scoring. its the same issue that klniocked us out a year ago, the complete inability to score. hopefully the caps can solve this dilemma. its not over yet, but its not looking great right now...

I don't like playing the woulda coulda shoulda game, but game one the Rangers had a 1-0 lead late in game 1 and gave up a garbage goal when Ovie just keep poking at a puck. Game 4, they had a 3 goal lead and s.hit the bed. Not taking anything away from the Caps, but the Rangers were not a good team. They were the 8 seed that backed in on the last day of the season. The series was a lot closer then you thought it was and a lot closer than it should have been.

If it was a lot closer than I thought it was, then the Rangers would have won more than one game.

That wasn't a concession that you are right, that was a concession like I make with my wife, just to throw in the towel cause it's not worth going any further.
