The Washington Capitals eliminated the New York Islanders from the Stanley Cup playoffs on Monday night. Immediately, the Twitter account for their second-round opponents took to trolling them:

so we meet again #nyr — new york rangers (@NYRangers) April 28, 2015

Get it? No caps! That's the tactic the New York Rangers are using -- apparently for the whole series -- as they attempt to knock off the team from the nation's capital.

And, without any comment, they are committing to the bit:

av says he expects keith yandle to practice tomorrow; also says kevin klein "looked good...told me on the ice he felt good" #nyr — new york rangers (@NYRangers) April 28, 2015

"playing caps again in playoffs creates something special..it's going to be tough series..we have to step up our game"-#nyr @HLundqvist30 — new york rangers (@NYRangers) April 28, 2015

Rangers fans are enjoying this so much, a hashtag (#NoCaps) has emerged.

The Capitals? At the time of this writing they had not responded, although we're sure expert Internet troll and newfound Caps fan Paul Pierce is working on something.
