Capitals/Rangers: Knuckles and Bongos

Two years ago, we ran a post looking at the post-lockout pugilistic history between the Caps and Rangers. And as ~~we like to recycle content whenever we can~~ the two teams have grown increasingly less fond of each other since then, we thought it would be nice to take a stroll down fisticuffs lane to start to get in the right frame of mind for the best-of-seven series that starts Wednesday night.

So here's the list of all the fights between the Caps and Rangers since the start of the 2005-06 season (ranked as rated by you, the fans, at hockeyfights.com):
