Caps advance with a 2-1 victory.
Re: 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread
Rangers are out of the playoffs. Everything is now right with the sports world.
Re: 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread
Getting back to the Rangers and whether they can score in the series debate, they only scored over 2 goals in a game in two of the seven games.
They scored 11 goals in the series. Divide that by 7, and that's an average of one and a half goals per game. As usual, teams don't magically do better than their season sample size in most playoff series'. It is amazing how people still think this offense is good.

So Carolina pulled this off, huh? I wish Versus would have been able to show the 3rd period.

Huge fluke series win for the Hurricanes. There's no stat that shows that the Hurricanes are better than the Devils.

Off the top of my head, I would say a 4-3 series win is a pivotal stat in their favor :p

That is a fluke series win. The Devils were, and still are the better team despite who is advancing.

That is true. Winning playoff series' are the only thing that matters in the end, but that doesn't dismiss the fact that the Devils are better.

Well obviously.
The Sharks were better then the Ducks but in the six games that mattered they weren't.
The playoffs don't always determine the best team in the league, in fact its a rare occasion that it does determine that. It determines the best team in a short sample size series.
