The Rangers took the first 4 games of the first round against the Capitals for the complete series sweep and are officially the first NHL team to do so. Igor Shesterkin made 28 saves in his 4th consecutive playoff win and New York recieved goals from Kakko, Panarin, Trocheck, and an empty net goal to seal it from Jack Roslovic. The Rangers now wait to see who their next challenger will be from the Hurricanes Islanders series.

Great series! I was at both games in DC and watched Trouba turn the puck over so many times. He is a true liability and the better teams will make us pay. Bring on the Canes and LGR!!!
LGR!!!!
Till next season Giannone and Vally! My 3 favorites in studio with Sam and Joe on the call, I’ll miss hearing from you guys till next season starts! Until then let’s keep this thing going through round 2! LGR!
Panarin !!!!! Silence 🤫 the Haters
Sweep means some time off ,, get some video sessions in to clean up what needs to be cleaned up and ,,,, Let's Keep it going Rangers 💯🛐💚🔯💛☪️❤️🕉️💪💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ovi's not the same but holding him to 5 shots in 4 games is WILD, he's still they're 2nd pointscorer behind Strome
that nonchalant WHIFF Igor had game 3 mightve been good long run, he lost a meaningless shutout but he was reminded not to take ANY shot for granted early on…
Troch is so underrated, between the faceoffs and leading us in scoring and doing plenty of assisting he's been on FIRE the last month or two, tbh he's prob our best player rn beside maybe Igor, idk his exact #s but they must be legit after that series atleast GAA though SV% could be lower cuz of the lower shot count they mention
If you told me in 2014 that the Rangers were on a cup run with Jonathan Quick on the team and Lundqvist doing the analysis… I'd probably believe you.
Thank you everyone at MSGN for another great year. I appreciate everyone there all the more with getting stuck with bad national broadcasts. You all have spoiled us NYR fans for decades.
Ends with a 4. Let’s go
Oldvechkin is cooked. Wilson is a goon. The Rangers sweep the Caps and take care of business.
Get some rest. Regroup and keep the same structure. LGR
MSG needs to keep covering and broadcasting the games!!!
Great game. Glad they could close it out and finish them off. I Hope isles win Tuesday. But Canes will most certainly be a challenge.
Let’s go Rangers!!!!
We probably won’t get many PP opportunities against a much more disciplined team like the canes.
We will need everyone to step it up a few notches
Why NOT us!!
LGR!!🏆
Sweeping a playoff team is not easy by any means. The team is clicking right now.
First-class analysis and commentary, guys
SERIES SWEEP! Let's go!
I love to watch the fluid rotation once the guys get set up for the power play, just waiting for that opening. Its absolutely deadly, almost a guaranteed goal.
Ovi is washed, and Rangers showed that, LGR!!!
Man i wish hank had a team like this during his carrer.agian there been some great rangers teams in the history but this team is good all around.lets go rangers!!!!!!!!!
Someone needs to remind Panarin that swinging your stick like a sword after scoring is going to get someone hurt….lol
MSG wow Rangers wow 👏👏👏 congratulations guys very cool next Round 👏👏👏LGR!! 💙💪
Ovechkin wasn’t stopped but the Rangers, he never even tried: he is only interested in regular season goals so he can pass Gretzky. He was a no-show in the series who was an overall negative in all 4 games. He should be ashamed.
