Alexander Semin scored at 18:24 of overtime and the Washington Capitals rallied for a 2-1 win over the New York Rangers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoff series on Wednesday night.
It came down to the last day - but the NHL playoffs are set. Here is a look at each match-up, starting in the West.
When the Rangers arrive on Wednesday night for Game 1 of their Eastern Conference playoff series, they'll face a Capitals team that is less elegant and more workmanlike than the one they routed during the Christmas shopping season.
With the NHL Playoffs getting underway tonight, Commissioner Gary Bettman is indeed a busy man. But he managed to carve some time out of his schedule to talk with Boomer & Craig this morning about the sport he oversees.
To Boomer's delight, Jerry Recco began his first update of the morning previewing the Rangers' upcoming playoff series against the Capitals.
With a win over the Devils and a little outside help, the Rangers find themselves head-to-head against the Washington Capitals. "We've been in the playoffs," Rangers coach John Tortorella said. "This is the next round of the playoffs for us."
Today Boomer took his Rangers fandom one step further and put his Alexander Ovechkin jersey on ice, with the hopes of "freezing out" the Russian superstar.
The Rangers are heading back to Europe. The NHL has announced that New York and the Los Angeles Kings will play Oct. 7 in Stockholm.
Mark Messier remembers what it's like playing a familiar team in the playoffs, though the former Rangers great says don't get too optimistic, anything can happen when the NHL's best find themselves chasing the Stanley Cup.
Boomer was so excited on Monday, he demanded the entire morning show staff don Rangers jerseys in celebration of New York's upcoming postseason run. So who was the lone holdout?
Devils head coach Jacques Lemaire's exit was hardly unexpected. The Chicago Blackhawks' near departure was almost a much bigger stunner. A similar scenario played out for the Rangers this weekend.
With everyone following Boomer's lead and wearing Rangers gear, Craig decided to go against the grain and rock his Carmelo Anthony Knicks home jersey -- which he had a little trouble fitting into after a weekend of indulgence.
After an eventful weekend in the sports world, Boomer & Craig had a lot to get to for today's edition of the "Morning Extravaganza," and the guys had a little issue when deciding what to talk about first.
Captain Chris Drury scored his first goal of the season in a surprise return to the lineup and Ryan McDonagh netted the first of his NHL career during a three-goal second period as the New York Rangers rallied for a 5-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils
