Damnit! I turned it off after the 3-0. When I saw the final score I was so happy and angry at the same time haha.w

That’s what I get for checking in on XM at the end of the 1st, seeing 3-0 NYR, saying “Well, screw it” and not watching the game. Shame on me!

NAFYEKCOH: What Nylander was doing on the ice was drawing the D and making the smart pass to a wide-open #26 for the GWG.

Argh! I fell asleep with it 3-0 in the middle of the 1st period. Been scurrying around looking for info, and of course found a good page on a site in THEIR city: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/24/sports/hockey/24rangers.html?ref=sports

Shaone Morrison picked a great time to break his scoring drought! If I hadn’t seen it, I’d have thought it was a great storybook line, but I’m not sure I’d have believed it.

A game like this proves (if anyone had doubts) that OV is the reigning MVP and if the season ended today he’d be this season’s MVP. The desire and leadership he showed last night was nothing short of amazing. Down by 4, he’s still flying around, hitting everything that move and playing with so much intensity that it finally ineffected his teammates. I don’t what relationship goalies have with their defensive lines, but I think Theo needs to start taking a leadership role to be successful. He has young defensemen playing, so his experience and confidence will be crucial in a strong defense.
I do have one question, does anybody know what Nylander is doing when he’s on the ice? It seems he just doesn’t fit the Caps system.
