As a Rangers fan, I say take the Caps the next 2 games @ + $$$$$ and heres why

 I'll give you the upsides and downsides of the Rangers...IMO

Downside

1) They have scored 1 goal ( 1st goal of series ) and been outscored 4-0 since then

2) They have been outplayed, out hit, and they are outmatched when it comes to speed

3) Caps hotter team
They were on fire coming into round 1, and look like they havent missed a beat.

Rangers have hit the pipes a few times, I will give you that, but some might say the breaks will even out, others will say the hockey Gods want the Caps to win.

Upside

1) Rangers 16-6-2 during the regular season @ MSG

2) Rangers 10-4-1 Vs SE division

3) Caps struggled Vs the Atlantic ...4-9-2  ( all the teams in the SE did )
I also understand the Caps were paper tigers on the road for most of the season,

That being said, the Caps last 10 on the road:
4-20 Montreal : 5-1 Caps win
4-18 Ottawa: Caps lose 3-1
4-9 Montreal : 3-2 Caps win
4-6 Florida : 4-3 Caps win
4-2 Carolin :  5-3 Caps win
3-31 Philadelphia:Caps lose  4-5 ( OT )
3-30  Buffalo : Caps win 4-3 ( SO )
3-24 Rangers: Caps win 3-2 ( SO )
3-22 Winnipeg: Caps win 6-1
3-21 Winnipeg Caps win 4-0

 So the Caps have won 8 of their last 10 road games....
Losing 1 in OT.

the other game they were outshot 38-19, AND STILL ONLY LOST BY 2 GOALS ( 1 an open netter )

I already have the Caps in the series -120 to win 7 units, and I'm doing an improvised " Lippsman split © " on these next 2 games

Washington +130 risking 3 units

That would still earn me a small profit using the
improvised "Lippsman split
