There's been no shortage of drama in the opening round series between the Capitals and the Rangers. Barring four or more overtimes the series and its subplots will end tonight, a winner-take-all game seven capping off an epic six games that could not be scripted any better if it were written for the stage.

The Capitals bandwagon has reached critical mass, Ovechkin is a crossover star, and a Washington sport...

You'd like to allow less than a touchdown in the finale of the finest of your 33 regular seasons, but the Washington Capitals can take solace in the fact that this was the first meaningless regular season game the franchise has played in two calendar years. The chink in the run and gun Caps' armor is their vulnerability to the stretch pass and the Florida Panthers attacked that early...
