Game 1 of the 2nd round with the Rangers verus the Washigton Capitals ended in controversy but it ended in a 2-1 Caps win and a 1-0 lead in the best of 7. The Rangers seemed to relax for a second in time after the Caps Backstrom clearly boarded Rangers defenseman Dan Boyle and knocked the puck loose whick lead to the winning goal with just over a seond left in the game. The refs blew the call, but Boyle made two bonehead plays that lead to both Capitals goals. On the winning goal, as the puck went into the corner, Boyle tried to kill the last 4 seconds by holding the puck against the boards in the corner by the goal line with Caps closing in on him. All he had to do was move the puck around like the Rangers always do and cost the Rangers the game. Earlier in the game, Boyle kept moving backwards as Ovechkin gained the zone until he provided Ovechkin a perfect screen and then to top it off stuck his stick put so that the shot would deflect up and over Lundqvist's stick side. I know that the Rangers brass paid alot for Dan Boyle and he is one of Glen Sather's reclamation projects, but maybe he needs to sit the next game and send a message to all the players that if you don't play Rangers hockey 100% of the time, you will sit. Matt Hunwick would not have made either of those stupid and passive plays.
