Stop whining, Washington.The Rangers said on Wednesday that they are turning their focus to Boston. But first, John Tortorella had a parting shot for the Washington Capitals, who believed the officials favored New York in the teams’ seven-game first-round series.
john tortorella "I like where our team is as far as how they handle themselves, We’ve got everybody and their brother whining up there in Washington about what happened in that series, and I think that’s a big reason why they lose that series. So I just think our mind-set is very good, as far as not letting anything bother us. (We’re) just getting ready to play each day: Play the game, practice the next day and just go about our business."
Alex Ovechkin "Not saying there was a phone call, but they wanted Game 7, For ratings. You know, lockout, escrow, league must make profit."

Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin knows full well that his playoff failures are adding up.
Alex Ovechkin "In the playoffs, it doesn't matter if you score or not. You have to win. Team success is the most important thing out there.
I didn't score and we lose. I score, we lose.
Everybody have to make a difference."
Karl Alzner "We were very, very fortunate coming down the stretch that he was scoring almost every game. And if he wasn't scoring, it was usually his shots that were setting up the next goal. And so you take it for granted, sometimes, when you kind of expect that it's going to go in every time when he shoots the puck, And then [the] playoffs is just a different animal."
