#9 Sergei Fedorov Game 7 vs. New York Rangers
The Washington Capitals were the new kids on the block, at least this generation, when it came to playoff hockey. They had yet to taste a true playoff win. This was the first time Alex Ovechkin and Co. got that feeling. And it came from the veteran in the room, Sergei Fedorov.
It came with 4:59 left and helped the Capitals complete a series comeback where they were starting a three games to one series deficit. They even dropped the first two games on home ice including a 1-0 shutout in Game 2.
The Caps won Game 3 to save the series but dropped Game 4. They would go on to win Games 5 and 6 to set up the decisive Game 7. It marked the renewal of a rivalry of sorts between the Capitals and Rangers.
They would go on to meet in the playoffs several more times with both teams having their fair share of triumph. But this one in 2009 goes to the Caps and they deserved it. Man that series was fun.
