And so, the Rangers make it a 2-0 lead against the Capitals as they won today, 1-0!
:beer:
Ryan Callahan gave the Rangers the winning goal early in the first period, and were able to hold onto it for the remainder of the game.
The whole team played very well, especially Callahan, who has just become a machine in the last few games. I'm very impressed by him.
Also, I heard something I thought I would never hear "Great play by Wade Redden!"
Shock!
I was really worried for a while because Freddy Sjostrom was hurt.
But then I saw him back on the ice and it was all good.
Best play of the game: Lundqvist loses his stick at a point when there are like 4 Caps players in their zone. He then makes about five saves using Markus Naslund's stick! Beautiful

Bruins' Hunwick taken to hospital Saturday
By Shawn P. Roarke
Boston defenseman Matt Hunwick was rushed to the hospital Saturday morning after complaining of abdominal pains upon showing up for a team meeting to prepare for Saturday night's Game 2 against Montreal at TD Banknorth Garden.
"He didn't feel very good, so our trainers did what was right and called an ambulance," Boston coach Claude Julien said. "Hopefully we can get some good news here as we move on."
Julien said Hunwick would not play in Saturday night's Game 2. He will be replaced by veteran Shane Hnidy.
Boston's medical staff examined Hunwick after he complained of pain in his abdominal area. It was determined that he need more complete medical attention and an ambulance was summoned. Julien said the injury was related to Hunwick's spleen, according to what the medical staff relayed to him. It is unclear how, or even when, Hunwick suffered the injury.
The Bruins had reported to Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington, Ma., for a team meeting and Julien said the first-year defenseman felt fine when he showed up at the rink, but soon fell ill.
I wuv Matt Hunwick.

EDIT: Boston Bruins defenseman Matt Hunwick had his spleen removed Saturday but has not been ruled out of the NHL playoffs. The surgery was done Saturday afternoon, about 2 1/2 hours after Hunwick felt increased pain while the team was together for its morning skate before that night’s second game against the Montreal Canadiens.
“He’s comfortable and he’s recovering in his room” at Massachusetts General Hospital, Bruins team physician Dr. Peter Asnis said before the game. “Spirits are high, feels well, and he’ll be there for a couple of days.”
Asnis said Hunwick, 23, thought he was injured when he was checked during the second period of Boston’s 4-2 win Thursday night. But he said the defenseman didn’t notice any abdominal pain after the game and “had no complaints” during practice on Friday. Asnis said that when the Bruins learned of his injury, they determined that Hunwick would not play Saturday night.
“It’s possible, depending on his recovery, that he could be back” later in the playoffs, Asnis said, “but that’s something to be determined.” He said Hunwick’s playing career shouldn’t be affected and “full recovery should be in several months. A month or two and we’ll see how he does.”
GM Peter Chiarelli said he hadn’t spoken with Hunwick, but, “I’m told that he’s resting well and he’s going to watch the game.”
Get well soon!
