Little bit better now since the last powerbreak. Still, do not want this to go to OT. Score a goal here Rangers!
 
I have never seen that type of immediate relinquishing of the puck when we have possession in our zone. 1 pass and bam the puck is now being CARRIED by the Caps into our zone.
 
The saddest part is, you can;t complain about Boyle being out there every other shift. He's been one of our top 6 forwards this game easily. And this is a guy that came off of an injury half way through the series.
 
Caps intentional offside. C'mon get a goal here boys, the puck is gonna be on the offensive zone for 5 secs.

Gotta win faceoffs..Rangers have been struggling with this.

But it only takes one..;0)
 
How the coach makes em play

You know, I don't buy that for a second. They were stepping up in the neutral zone and pinching early on — where did it go? If it's working, Tortorella isn't going to say "oh, sit back and collapse".

What I see are a bunch of players who can't be bothered to make that extra stride or take that extra hit to control the puck. The let the Caps handle it, and when the puck is loose, the Caps win every puck battle. Are we going to blame the constant loss of puck battles on Tortorella, too?
