      I feel like we might have better fight if we were not missing five NHL defensemen from our lineup. I understood from the start that our postseason had little hope of going far, but this is still disappointing.

        I don’t feel like defense is really the problem. They aren’t scoring goals. Ovi, the greatest goal scorer ever, has a grand total of something like 5 shots on goals over 3 games.

        I don’t mean to blame Ovi, though, but I do think there’s something wrong with him again. The Rangers are very good about not letting the Caps get those rebounds and second chances. And Shesterkin is playing extremely well.

          The team having trouble scoring goals isn’t exactly new though, our whole thing this season has been once we get more than a goal behind we get shut down very easily. We did great in the games where we never fell far behind, and we were able to produce enough of those games to make the playoffs. We’ve been down by two goals before the end of the second all three games this series.

          The offense has definitely been a part of that problem, but I think there’s a realistic chance that there’s a mandate for the forwards to not expect McIlrath and Johansen to play at the same level as the team had been getting from Jensen and Sandin, and that’s affected their play as well.

          It really wouldn’t surprise me if not taking many risks to aim to blow us out once they go up by two has been part of the rangers’ strategy as well.
