The Rangers had their shot at knocking off the Captials twice over the last week, and failed to take advantage of it. They even had the Caps on the ropes late in the 3rd period in a 1-1 tie, but were unable to knock the door down. The game looked like it was headed to a classic game 7 OT.
There was a time that he could take over a game. His speed and puck skills were far superior to anyone else in the league back when he was in Detroit. Often, he would defer to teammates, but when needed he would provide the spark. Though Yzerman was the captain on those Wings teams, Fedorov was the star. Now he is the wiley old veteran playing in his 8th Game 7. Last night Fedorov took the puck up the ice, reaching down deep for that old speed of his, then stopped on right wing, and fired a snapshot past Henrik Lundqvist for the game-winner. It was the Sergei of old that sent the Caps into the 2nd round.

Funny sparty…I was thinking this morning about how dominant Fedorov used to be.

Fedorov is now what Igor Larinov used to be.

Plus he was “friends” with a very young Anna Kournikova. Those were the good ol’ days for him.

the whole Bure/Fedorv/Kournikova triangle was very strange.

The Caps where lucky to get by a very average Rangers team with a highly below average offense
What are they going to do against a team that can actually score?
I’ll repeat Pens in 4

the Rangers offense was pathetic. ugly to watch.

Pens suck it, especially that whiny b Sidney Crosby.
(Quote)
Difference between Rangers and Pens is that Rangers is that Rangers had a rock in goal and a better defense. Pens don’t. It’s going to be high scoring fun.

I think the Hurricanes should break out the Whalers unis for this series with the Bruins just for old time sake.

Save the Whale!

Fedorov being a wily old veteran makes me feel old as hell.

Rangers game sucked.
However the Devils game was even worse. They were up by a goal late in the 3rd, I flipped around the the other hockey game, basketball game, Yanks and Mets and all of a sudden they had lost. They were up by a goal and gave up two goals in the last 1:30 or so to lose the game 7.

yep. hard to imagine he has been in the league for 18 years now.

Fleury is more than capable at winning games for the Pens. the goalie advantage is not as wide as it was from Washington and New York (Though King Henry sure did suck for two of those games) but it’s still a significant advantage to the Pens

Don’t underestimate Varlamov!
Caps in 7.

That would involve me actually believing it. In all honesty I think that it’ll be a very tight series and who wins will be a toss up. If this was last year’s penguin team i wouldn’t doubt it but there’s something missing from this group

I have nothing to contribute, but keep up the hockey talk. I enjoy it. More hockey, Sparty!

Wasn’t that an advertising campaign (maybe an ESPN thing) back when the NHL was on TV?
