here is steve overmyer with your cbs2 sports update. >> let's talk about the rangers and the penguins. one thing was clear from the beginning of the playoff series. the penguins were just a better team. the henrik lundqvist is one of the best goalies of his decade. we have seen him steal a series all by himself. it is just in this series, he didn't seem like himself. do or die for the rangers in pittsburgh, the collapse was already in the making when you are close up the regular-season with a record of nine and 10 and allowed pates -- allowed pittsburgh to take pittsburgh today to 2 feet on home ice. it turns out that didn't matter. pittsburgh exposed henrik lundqvist's glove side, four times. the king was knocked out of the game. and the rangers season ends and disappointment. 6-3, the final for pittsburgh. >> feeling of embarrassment to give up that many goals. a sense of hopelessness. i think we played a team that was smarter, better -- better goaltending. >> it has been tough to grasp right now. we worked hard to get a chance in the playoffs. it is tough sitting here right now wit

steve overmyer is here with sports. >> baseball's about to begin as college basketball is opening. we're getting ready to get into playoffs and hockey. both the rangers and the islanders will make the playoffs. mainly avoiding the top team in the league in washington. the isles would love to have this first round matchup. the penguins have won 11 of 12 and pittsburgh assaulted john van swab rue by a for five goals on 33 shots. the islanders move down to the final wild card spot as they get blanked 5-0. the penguins now lead the rangers by 3 for second place in the standings which means a nice advantage in the opening round of the playoffs. doesn't it seem like just yesterday our brackets were being broken by middle tennessee state. here we are in the final four. syracuse has a chance to become the first unranked national champion ever. their game's later tonight. villanova and oklahoma just started. villanova has a recent history of early exits. in the dance they're hitting everything this year. their shooting percentage is the second best in tournament history. with a player of th

plans that can change as needs change, so your aging loved ones can skate into the playoffs, and steve overmyer is here with sports. >> time is running out in the regular season. the rangers pick up their game. three of the last four years, the rangers made it to at least the conference finals, and again, they pushed all the chips to the middle of the table for the trading deadline, and now they need to make it count. a chance to clinch with a win over the sabres, and this is not the start they are looking for. lundgvist was pulled after giving up 3 in the first 9 chances, and new york would fight back, making it 4-3 in the 3rd, and they had plenty of opportunities including the 2- man advantage for a full 2 minutes, but they were unable to convert that into the goal. the rangers fall 4-3, and then the news got worse for the islanders who could not take care of business against the penguins. pittsburgh assaulted for 5 goals, 33 shots, and the islanders moving down to the blanked 5-nil, and the rangers are three points back for 2nd place and more importantly home ice advantage as well. not much

the rest of us get candles.

steve overmyer is here with sports. >> they are moving a little bit closer, at least they're hoping and the rangers have really ruled the hockey scene of new york, but the islanders window is opening. they have one of the best players in the league in john tavares. to get attention in this city you've got to win. after stealing home ice from the lightning in game 1, tampa had only 5 shots on goal in the opening period but they connected on two of them, both in the first 12 minutes of the game. thomas greiss has been great in the playoffs but he was beaten 5 hole twice in the first. new york is playing with confidence, especially against ben bishop who they've beaten three times this year. given up an average of five goals a game against the islanders and all of a sudden it's 2-1 after that power play. the turning point came in the 2nd, the islanders shorthanded. this actually goes off the state of calvin gahan. tuesday night in brooklyn. >> they're a good hockey team. they're going to make pushes and that's how we handle that momentum and find a way to grab it back. it's part of the pla

here is steve overmyer with your cbs2 sports update. >> let's open up talking about the rangers and the penguins. one thing was clear from the beginning of the playoff series. the penguins were just a better team. but henrik lundqvist is one of the best goalies of his decades. we have seen him steely series all by himself. it is just that in this series, he did not say mike himself. do or die for the rangers in pittsburgh. new york close of the regular season with a record of nine and 10 and allowed pittsburgh to take the two seed at home ice. it turns out that didn't matter because the penguins were just the better team. during a critical 14 minutes stretch in the second period, pittsburgh exposed henrik lundqvist's four times. the third time in the series. and the rangers season ends and disappointment. 6-3, the final from pittsburgh. >> feeling of embarrassment. a sense of hopelessness peers not being able to come up with saves. we played a team that was smarter and better and better goaltending. >> it is tough to grasp right now. we worked hard to have a chance in the playoffs. it i
