Washington vs. New York Rangers
If Crosby's tied up in La Belle Province, well, Ovechkin should be on Broadway. The Russian star has never been in the postseason, and GM George McPhee's multiple moves at the trade deadline deserve some kind of playoff reward. Rangers superstar Jaromir Jagr, of course, played for the Caps before deciding not to try anymore. In general, getting the Caps into Manhattan for a significant playoff struggle would have to help that franchise get some badly needed face time. Finally, Bruce Boudreau, the Caps' coach, is the patron saint for all those minor league bench bosses who had to wait and wait and wait for their chances to coach in the big leagues while others less qualified got their shot.
...glad to see Cox's analysis for why this would be a desirable matchup has nothing to do with the Rangers. Great job.
...as far as the matchup goes, I would hate it. If Washington makes the playoffs it means that they finished the season on a hot streak and with players such as Ovetchkin, Fedorov, Backstrom and Green we could be in trouble.
