Hockey agent Alexey Dementyev expressed the opinion that “Washington” there is a chance to beat New York Rangers in the first round series of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Rangers lead best-of-seven series 1-0; the first match on Sunday ended in favor of the New Yorkers with a score of 4-1.
— Of course, Shesterkin’s excellent play is paying off and inspiring confidence in the team. A large number of power techniques. In general, it can be said of all matches that there were an unimaginable number of power moves. And the physical pressure the teams put on each other is a whole different story.
— Does this “Washington” have a chance against the “Rangers”?
— I think there’s a chance. And they will appear a little later. Because from the game itself, we can’t say that it was an unconditional loss for the Capitals. Make no mistake: the morale of the hockey players in Washington was such that the most important thing was to qualify for the playoffs, and in the last game, that problem was solved.
The team understood, the players exhaled, some break – and now they must come together to show their game in all its glory. It is clear that the Rangers were more active in this match than Washington and converted their chances. Moreover, thanks to the excellent game in front of goal,” Dementyev said in “Championship”.
The second game of the series will take place on April 23 in New York.
