Summary:
The Rangers are not surprised that series against the Capitals is tied. This is how the playoffs are and momentum swings. Washington is proving to be a very tough competitor for the Rangers and it will definitely be a challenge for them during the up and coming games.

Significance:
This is very significant in the fact that it proves that you do not need to be the top seed to win it all. Washington is seeded 7th compared to the Rangers 1st seed and they are tied with a 2-2 split. The Capitals can definitely win this if they put their minds to it. In the end, seeds really don't mean a lot in the competition aspect.

Question:
Will the Rangers end of losing the series?

Alternate Heading:
Stronger Seeds are Not Always the Best Bloomers.
