I saw Fast jump over the boards with Stepan on that first shift change, which is not a line they showed in warmups, and I was like "ooh, I like this idea." I didn't even get time enough to point out to the guy next to me that Fast was on the ice before he took that cross-ice pass from Stepan.

Shep looks real good today, too.

Fun Fact: Anaheim has had 10 first round picks since 2008...tied with Buffalo and the Islanders for most in the league in that span.

That's impressive asset management for a team with only one non-competitive season.

In terms of quality of those picks, the Ducks scouts seem to be excellent at picking out puck-moving defensemen. I'm less impressed with their forward picks, who tend to top out as Bottom 6 guys.

Love our defensemen, you're right about our forward picks. We still have hope for Etem and Palmieri. We'll trade for better forwards using our abundance of prospects.

Can't imagine the Rangers playing better than this period

McDonagh is still pretty messy, Boyle is a borderline liability despite that goal, Nash isn't producing, JT is still missing everything in sight, and Hayes is largely invisible so far. So we can be a lot better.

Still far and away our best and most complete period of the playoffs so far.

We can't let them back in the game in the second, though.

Gotta give props to Nash for that screen though, it was brilliantly timed. Only reason Boyle's shot went in.

could have easily been a goal for him too if it had happened to graze him

That's why I was very particular in my wording about Nash's game. :D

Nash is doing the little things today that he did for us all through last year's playoffs, too. We just need him to be doing the really big things.


@stevezipay: Stat sheet: Rangers attempted 28 shots, Caps 6

Holtby is outrageous. I can't believe he was able to stop that shot a few minutes ago. I fear facing him more than Price tbh, maybe just due to familiarity in the playoffs.

Holtby's really good, he's undoubtedly the 2nd best Canadian goalie in the world right now. Some of his advanced stats suggest he might even have higher upside than Price (!).

He's still 2 years younger than Carey and remember Price only really turned into Jesus Price during and then after the Olympics.

Price and Holtby should be our Goalies in the Next Olympics. I'm ready for McDavid and Crosby to do some god damn magic in those Olympics
