Rangers vs. Capitals: Game 1, Round 1

Well, that time of year has struck again.
Yep, It's playoff time. And for the second time, first being in 2009, in 5 years, the Caps and the Rangers will battle it out in round 1 of the playoffs, obviously with hopes of making it through all the rounds and winning every hockey player's dream (A.K.A The Stanley Cup). And it all. Starts. Here.
A win this round would be nice for the avenging Rangers. Especially with a loss during their last playoff meet-up. But, keep in mind, they have also won 4 Stanley Cups. As opposed to the Capitals, who haven't won any Stanley Cups in all of their franchise's history.
An Advantage to the Capitals this round is the fact that they clinched the conference, meaning that they finished first in the Eastern Conference, while the Rangers just made the playoffs, finishing the season in 8th place in the conference. But then again, the Rangers could surprise us all and become the underdogs of the first round. I guess we'll never know until it happens.
In conclusion of the first post of the postseason, I would obviously like to wish good luck on both teams. And may the spirit and the adrenaline of the season be with you.

Sabres vs. Capitals: Playoff Race: Post #1

With the playoff race coming to a closure, and playoff spots filling up, this clearly is a must win for both of these Eastern Conference teams.
A win for the Capitals will advance them to first place in the conference, supplanting the Philidelphia Flyers, while a victory for the playoff-hungry Sabres, and losses for the Hurricanes, will give them a temporary spot in the playoffs.
Along with all that, injuries are a weakness for both teams tonight. Among the list of injured Sabres players is star goalie Ryan Miller, who is out with a huge deep bruise on the shoulder and chest.

Other injured players, or ones who are not in the lineup, for both teams include:

Washington
John Erskine (Replacement: Sean Collins)
Mike Green
Tom Poti
Dennis Wideman
Buffalo
Ryan Miller (Replacement: Jhonas Enroth)
Jordan Leopold
Derek Roy
Patrick Kaleta
Mike Grier
Jochen Hecht
With all of these men who are not in their team's line up, I can assure you that this will be quite a game.
In conclusion, I wish both competing teams well in tonight's riveting match-up. And, speaking as a true Caps fan, let's hope the Caps can pull off a win tonight in what is to be expected a great game.
