STATE OF THE BLUESHIRTS: Game Two wasn’t the dominating affair that Game One was, but it showed that the Caps are not going to give the Rangers much offensively. Our beloved Blueshirts are going to need to grind it out and generate chances off the cycle, something they haven’t done in the first two games. Game Three is a must win, or this is going to be a short series.

CRAZY THOUGHT: Rangers get two powerplay goals.
