Rangers-Capitals Game 5 Thoughts: Happy to Have Other Plans

Henrik Lundqvist stood on his head again, but the Rangers lost Game 5 in Washington because of their inability to extend a lead or score more than one goal on the road.

I missed most of Game 5 of the series to host and attend a surprise birthday party for my girlfriend, so it’s hard for me to comment on the game other than to say it’s no surprise the Rangers once again scored just one goal in Washington and Henrik Lundqvist allowed just one goal and the team lost. And it’s absolutely awful that the Rangers scored 53 seconds into the game (Ladies and gentlemen, Brian Boyle!) and couldn’t add on and that Mike Ribeiro scored the game-winner in overtime. I’m happy I wasn’t able to watch this game in full.
