In the Caps loss in game four, their biggest problem was they weren't doing what they did in game three: they weren't crashing hard to the net on every play and generally mixing it up and being physical down low. They went back to a bit more of a finesse game, and obviously that isn't going to work in this series. The defense and Varlamov were solid again. They had a couple bad bounces and that cost them, but still, they played good enough to win and it was once again, the offense that let them down. Hopefully tomorrow in Game 5 they'll be motivated by the pressure they're under and crash the net and generally outwork the Rangers. And then do it for two more games after that.
In hindsight, I would have preferred to play the Canadiens.
Short post for this one, until next time,
