that was embarrassing last night, not at one point in the game did the Rangers have ANY momentum. I knew that was going to happen...
I don't see the Caps beating Henrik 3 games in a row, he should be on fire Game 6...and I tell you, after being at Game 5, I would not wanna be back there for Game 7 with all that red and the building was LOUD2003: Uniondale, MSG x2 | 2004: Reading | 2005: Gorge, Vancouver, Philly | 2006: East Rutherford x2, Gorge x2, Camden 1, Hartford | 2008: MSG x2, VA Beach | 2009: Philly x3 | 2010: MSG x2, Bristow | 2011: Alpine Valley x2 | 2012: MIA Philly | 2013: Wrigley, Charlottesville, Brooklyn 2 | 2014: Milan, Amsterdam 1 | 2016: MSG x2, Fenway x2, Wrigley 2 | 2018: Rome, Krakow, Berlin, Wrigley 2 | 2021: Sea Hear Now | 2022: San Diego, LA x2, MSG, Camden, Nashville, St. Louis, Denver | 2023: St. Paul 1, Chicago x2, Fort Worth x2, Austin 2 | 2024: Las Vegas 1, Seattle x2, Indy, MSG x2, Philly x2, Baltimore, Ohana 2 | 2025: Florida x2, Atlanta x2, Pittsburgh x20 -

Tortellini better hope that the Blueshirts come back in the last 2 periods. If this goes to a game 7, the Rags are done and it will be the coach's fault.
Nice blindside by Brash on Betts too. How offsetting minors were the only call on that play is beyond me. Good decision to scratch Colton Orr this game too. A good scrap could wake the Rangers up (as well as serve to tune Brashear up for his blindside).1/12/1879, 4/8/1156, 2/6/1977, who gives a shit, ...0 -

Optimistic?

I like the CAPITALS but I would rather see the Rangers take the series. The the scoring of the CAPS ( especially the big O) will the give the BRUINS a much tougher time than the Rangers.

Slats letter to Gary Bettman
The team sent a letter to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman on Saturday night that was released to reporters just a few minutes ago:
Subject: Washington vs. New York, Game 5
Dear Gary:
In addition to your suspension of Coach Tortorella for his actions during last night's game, we respectfully request that you consider appropriate discipline in light of Washington's gross negligence in ensuring the safety of the personnel on the Rangers' bench, including Coach Tortorella, in the face of the Rangers' repeated requests for intervention against egregious fan misconduct during Game 5. As importantly, we would like the League's intervention to ensure that there are adequate security measures in place to protect our personnel in the event there is a Game 7 in Washington.
Neither the NHL nor either team has had the opportunity to conduct a full investigation or to interview all witnesses but the television coverage and the statements made by Rangers bench personnel make clear that Washington utterly failed in its security obligations to the Rangers, not to mention its own fans. The tension was evident from before the opening face-off. Throughout the game, several people seated immediately behind the visitors' bench took advantage of the looseness of the glass panels and the unusually wide gaps between the panels to assault the Rangers with some of the most obscene language imaginable. Because of the way the glass is installed, the patron sitting behind Coach Tortorella (the gray-haired, bearded man in the white T-Shirt) could literally scream into the coach's ear. According to Rangers trainer Jim Ramsay, one patron was screaming at the team, in graphic language, about whether Dan Girardi and Marc Staal have a sexual relationship. This was within earshot of several children seated nearby. Several other fans also made repeated homophobic remarks. Moreover, Mr. Ramsay reported that he and other bench personnel were spit on by one or more "fans" as they yelled through the gaps in the glass.
Your statement tonight referred to alerting security. In the first period, Mr. Ramsay warned the security guard stationed on the nearest stairwell (a large African-American man) that the situation was unacceptable and was likely to get ugly. No action was taken. The misconduct continued. In the second period, Mr. Ramsay warned a female security supervisor that some fans were out of control and that he was concerned that something unfortunate was going to happen. Although this supervisor was equipped with a radio, she apparently took no action, because the same fans were in their seats when the team returned to the bench for the third period. According to press accounts, no fans were ever ejected or permanently removed from their seats.
Washington's failure to respond to what its personnel knew — and were specifically warned — was a potentially dangerous situation contributed significantly to this unfortunate incident. Accordingly, we respectfully request that you consider imposing appropriate discipline on Washington for its knowing failure to protect the Rangers and prevent the situation from deteriorating into an incident that reflects badly on all of us. In addition, we must immediately discuss how Washington is going to handle security for any Game 7. Neither the Rangers nor the well-behaved Capitals fans should be forced to endure the extraordinary level of fan misconduct that Washington failed to prevent in Game 5.
Thank you for your consideration.

Acting head coach Jim Schoenfeld said that after viewing video of the incident, he believed it was a late hit. "I didn't see it at the time," he said. "I saw it on the replay -- it was a late hit, and it was vicious. He's a big strong guy and Bettsy didn't see him coming. He's hurt significantly. We obviously aren't going to divulge the nature of the injury. It's a double edge sword because Brashear's the guy who was jostling with Orr in warm-up. It would have been nice to have him not in the game rather than allow him to play the game and eliminate one of our best players, especially on the penalty kill. So it was a late hit to the head and the league will look at it and make their own ruling."

Finally, in an incident that seemed to be missed by most but which will certainly get some press now that Schoenfeld brought it up in his post-game press conference, Brandon Dubinsky was apparently bitten on the arm by Shaone Morrissonn during the altercation that followed Dubinsky's boarding penalty against Mike Green (see accompanying photo -- click on the image to see a larger version). NYR.com reporter Jim Cerny said he saw it right away -- he saw Morrissonn chomp on Dubinsky's arm and he saw the Ranger center trying to show the bite marks to an official. But the official refused to look, intent as he was on getting Dubinsky off the ice.
Schoenfeld said that Dubinsky's misconduct was the result of that. "Dubinsky had to get a tetanus shot because he was bitten in a scurm," the coach said. "So his status remains in question. And it was a double whammy because as he was trying to show it to the linesman, instead of looking, he gave him a misconduct."
Not that any of this would have changed the course of the game, not with the Caps getting to Lundqvist again (with three more back door plays, two off Ranger turnovers) and the Rangers not getting anywhere near Varlamov until the matter was decided. Maybe it was the difference between a 5-1 game and a 4-2 game -- maybe that would have been enough of a difference for the Rangers to attempt a comeback, though rest assured that if the game had remained close, they would not have gotten all those third period penalties, which were obviously the refs' way of creating plausible deniability against any bias case that might be made against them ("look how many power plays we gave the Rangers..."). More later...

sheds some light on the " classy " organization in washington,...
Yeah, the caps/verizon center had to get those guys out of there, but at the same time Tortorella can't do what he did.
I think that his actions were probably more so out of his frustration from the game, but if he truly felt that he or his team were in danger, or the heckling was so overboard, he should have kept his team in the room until the situation was resolved.
There are league representatives on hand, and if it was that bad, you would think that the Rangers would have done more than having a trainer talk to a couple of security guards.My whole life
was like a picture

Blair Betts is out for God knows how long with a broken orbital bone.
fucking ouch,
and thanks to the douche - nozzle Brashear,
I hope Orr takes care of him in game 7 .
One way or another, a first is going to occur tomorrow night in Washington.
The Rangers have never blown a 3 - 1 series lead in their history. However, they have also never won a Game 7 on the road.For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside

This one is for the Blue Shirts one of the Original 6
ONE LITTLE VICTORY
"One Little Victory"
A certain measure of innocence
Willing to appear naive
A certain degree of imagination
A measure of make-believe
A certain degree of surrender
To the forces of light and heat
A shot of satisfaction
In a willingness to risk defeat
Celebrate the moment
As it turns into one more
Another chance at victory
Another chance to score
The measure of the moment
In a difference of degree
Just one little victory
A spirit breaking free
One little victory
The greatest act can be
One little victory
A certain measure of righteousness
A certain amount of force
A certain degree of determination
Daring on a different course
A certain amount of resistance
To the forces of the light and love
A certain measure of tolerance
A willingness to rise above
I can't believe I'm rooting for the Rangers, well then let's go.

the suspension to brashear actually hurts the rangers. the caps are now going to replace him with someone that actually has an ounce of offensive skill.
this douche will get his next year. it will be a long wait until then, but he will get his. what makes me more sick is a lot of caps are screaming clean hit. what a bunch of uneducated assholes.
god i hope the rangers pull this one off.0 -
On a separate incident, there is currently not enough evidence in the biting issue with Brandon Dubinsky.Dubinsky claims Shaone Morrisson bit him causing blood.
The referees didn't believe him and in turn gave him a ten-minute misconduct.
