Another disappointing loss for the NY Rangers last night. The third over time loss in the series meant the end. It was a crazy series that is poorly reflected simply by looking at the 4-1 win in this series for the Kings, it was not a cake walk.

The Rangers fought hard every game and if the puck bounced in their favor once or twice, this series would have (and should have) gone 7 games. The third period was brutal for the Rangers as they couldn’t get passed the blue line to save their lives. A ludicrous tripping penalty against the rangers gave the king exactly what they needed to tie it up.

Both over times were super intense and even with all the lamenting in the world about that tripping call, the Rangers had 2 power play chances to end it and couldn’t pull it off to bring the series back home. Coming back from a 3-0 series deficit has never been done and would have been the sports story of the decade. It was a great season after all and us Ranger fans can now only hope that it won’t be another 20 years before we skate it out in the Finals again. Credit is due for the Rangers for not rolling over and winning game 4.
