Callahan Misses Wide Open Net...Capitals score

Rangers on the power play now after Del Zotto got clipped with a high stick. Off the face off the Rangers had a puck deflect through the legs of Theodore and go just wide of the net. The Rangers kept it in the zone, and gaborik drew the defense, setting up Callahan with a wide open net (from a bad angle), and he missed wide.

The caps are able to kill the power play (a power play that Torts called "brutal" in Jersey, despite scoring two goals), and force a Rangers turnover in the neutral zone. (Rozsival had an opportunity to dump the puck deep in the Caps end, with the Rangers making a change, but he tried to make a play and instead had the puck taken from him, and brought back into the Rangers zone) Pothier skated up the left side and made a perfect cross ice pass to Semin, who one timed it past Hank. Perfect play from a very skilled team, Rangers need to respond (and to find a way to trade Rozsival)

Rangers back on the power play, 9 minutes left in the first
