Joe Micheletti: Capitals ‘built’ to slow down Rangers

Joe Micheletti talks Rangers-Capitals and the rest of the Stanley Cup playoffs with The Post’s Justin Terranova. Micheletti will call games for NBC and be part of some of MSG’s hour-long postgame Rangers shows.

Q: What makes the Capitals a difficult matchup?

A: It starts with Alex Ovechkin, and that’s going to be such a great matchup with [Ryan] McDonagh. … Capitals are going to come out and pound the Rangers. They are built to be able to do that. They play a grinding game, and they’ll try to wear down and slow down the Rangers.
