Strike two on crunch time..

Chalk tonight's third [embarssing] loss up on the Rangers screw-up list for this roller coaster ride of a season. The latest low was seen today when the Capitals manhandled the Rangers, forced turn-overs, and drove Lundqvist out of the net in two periods, and also in two games. (Not to mention Lundqvist was bull-rushed during Washington's goal barrage without retaliation). The Rangers looked reminiscent of the lost team we saw in utter free-fall back in February before our coaching change and injection of new players. Since that time, our previous team-leading scorer Nikolai Zherdev has had a measly 2 points, and 0 in the playoffs.

Since the Rangers extended their Quarterfinals series lead to 3-1, they have already had two major whiffs at the plate. Why Can't our heroes live up to their proven potential?

Was pulling the plug on Avery pulling the plug on the Rangers? All will make sense about this team on Tuesday.
