Capitals Win Would be Right Result

From Ken Campbell at TheHockeyNews.com:

But really, is anyone outside the metropolitan New York area even hoping the Rangers win this thing? After all, which would you rather watch in the second round – a slow, plodding, old team with a brilliant goaltender or a dynamic young team with the most explosive talent in the game today? Would you rather watch Ovechkin weave his magic and be a dangerous player every time he steps on the ice or watch Sean Avery be a menace to himself, his opponents and his own team every time he gets out there? Would you rather see a guy such as Bruce Boudreau have some success, or would you like to watch John Tortorella scowl his way through another round and do things that embarrass and hurt his organization?

1. Lots of people are cheering for the Rangers.  Anyone who’d rather have their team play against them instead of the Caps, like Bruins fans, for instance.
2. Say what you will about Avery, but he’s not a danger to anyone on the ice.  He doesn’t look to injure guys.
3. I think everyone would rather see Tortorella get more time to talk to the media.

I think I would like to see whatever team beat the other 4 times out of 7 in the second round. 

Campbell seems to suggest that regardless of the outcome of the series, everyone (at least he, himeslf) just wants to watch Washington, anyway.  What a selfish tool.

This guy has got to be either a Capitals fan or an Islanders fan

Who would you rather watch? The team that has the ability to beat a dynamic young team with the most explosive talent in the game today, or a team that can beat a slow, plodding, old team with a brilliant goaltender or ?
