After Game 3's loss in New York, Washington Capitals coach, Bruce Boudreau went on a rant criticizing Maddison Square Garden. He ripped on everything from the locker room, to the benches, and even made a slur about the fans at MSG. "...the reputation of being in Madison Square Garden is what makes it famous. Also, our building's a lot louder, too. So I mean, they can say what they want, but it's not that loud in there."
This of course fueled up the Ranger fans and motivated them for game 4. Right before puck drop, the arena erupted in a "Shut Up Bruce" chant. Washington forward (and eventual game winning goal scorer) Jason Chimera stated “We were laughing quite a bit on the bench when they were saying 'Shut up Bruce' before the puck dropped." The Ranger fans were not done. When the Rangers had a (seemingly) comfortable 3-0 lead with a few minutes left in the second, they broke out into a "Can You Hear Us?" chant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiqjWPhiOUo . Yes. We can hear you.

After the Rangers 3 goal lead meltdown loss in double overtime, Boudreau stated "I might have made a mistake saying what I said. Lets leave it at that."
I think it's safe to say that the Ranger fans showed up and performed the entire game (unlike their team)
