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.

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.
