After a huge 1-0 Game 2 win in front of a frenzied washington crowd decked out in rock the red crap.The story of this game was goaltending.The Caps went to rookie Simeon Varlamov after Theodore turned in a shakey Game 1 performance.Varlamov was fairly solid though the Rangers didn't force him to make many tough saves after an early eventual game winner by Ryan "Manahan" Callahan. But the main story of this game was Henrik Lundqvist,he was simply unbelieveable in making 35 saves for his third career shutout. He stopped ovechkin,semin,backstrom and green time after time leaving them all very frustrated.He got some help late in the third when after a huge giveaway Ovechkin hit the crossbar. But his performance was flawless and if he can keep this play up the Caps could be in trouble.Hot goaltenders can steal series.Game 3 is set for tommorow night at a rocking Madison Sqaure Gardem.Sean Avery was in Mike Greens face all day and definitely was starting to get on the Caps nerve.Seans stats
18:01 with 3 shots on goal and 0 pim
