2011 Playoff Prescription: Rangers vs. Capitals Game 1

The playoffs officially start tonight! The Rangers will take on the Capitals in game one of the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Unfortunately, my initial post didn't publish for some damn reason, and I have class I need to go to so I will only give a brief overview of my main points I brought up.

Michal Neuvirth has gotten the nod from the Capitals as the starting goaltender tonight for the Caps. Neuvirth posted a 1-1 record against the Rangers season. However, the Rangers have won three consecutive games against the Caps, only allowing one goal over those three games.

Playoff Prescription
There is going to be a lot of prodding going on between these two teams tonight. A lot of testing the weaknesses of both teams.

The key to a victory for the Rangers tonight: FIRE AWAY!

The Rangers have had a lot of success when getting as many pucks to the net as possible. That being said, Michal Neuvirth is making his postseason debut tonight, and he will feel the pressures that come along with it like any other player in the league. If the Rangers can get shots to the net, and follow up on them, they have a good chance to win this game tonight.

Unfortunately, I have a thing for school I must attend and will not be able to see the first half. In my absence, I hope you all enjoy the game, and LETS GO RANGERS!
