So are the Rangers that bad, or are the Caps actually a contender this year? I haven't been that impressed the Washington all year long, and they really only seemed to benefit with playing in a terrible division. But, they won't have to play the Penguins until the 3rd round, which is absolutely huge for them if they want to go far in the playoffs.
They should hope that the Bruins end up playing Pittsburgh in the second round, as whoever survives that matchup could be easy pickings.
