I didn't get home from work until the 3rd period was already underway.  Because of the craptastic market I live in, I couldn't even get updates on the game during my 1 hour drive home.  I frantically turned the TV on and tuned in VS. to see the game.

It was like getting hit with a sledgehammer.  I couldn't believe the score was 3 - 0 Caps.  I called a friend and asked him what happened.  He told me about Callahan hitting the post, the Caps scoring on the resulting rush, the penalties and all.  I watched the rest of that period, but I was just numb the rest of the night. 

To paraphrase quote a myriad of characters from any George Lucas film...Going into game three..."I had a bad feeling about this..."  Now JRS will tell you that's not unusual for me.  I never thought the Rangers would sweep the Caps.  I was, and still am, expecting the split at the Garden.  Game three wasn't meant to be.  Now let's move on to Game 4 and get back to smart Hockey.
