Rangers Vs. Capitals: Well That Was Vesey

  • I’m relatively positive the Rangers of last year wouldn’t have won that game. I don’t like making those generalizations because in truth we don’t know, but the Rangers’ ability to roll four lines made an enormous difference. The Rangers were neutral zone monsters, forced a four-to-one turnover ratio and until they shelled in the third were leading in possession.
  • The Rangers’ speed and transition has all come from the offense, but it keeps working. Adam Clendening and Ryan McDonagh did some great work in terms of D to O transition, but they were the only two capable of doing that on the back end.
