>> a breakdown ended the rangers today. the rangers falling today as we watch on nbc4. coming up, a frustrating finish. >>> well, kind of a bummer. >> yay, eah, just a little bit. when you get eliminated from the playoffs like the rangers just did, you have that instant reaction and you think this is the window closing now on the rangers. but let's all take a breath for a second. two years ago, the rangers rallied against the penguins. these blue shirts are no longer in the cup conversation. their season alive. they showed life 52 seconds into the game against pittsburgh. redirected by rick nash. watch as he deftly gets the stick on the puck for the second in the playoffs. then they traded goals with the penguins over the next two-minute stretch on the power play. bill kessel from sidney crosby, and then in the second period, things just snowballed on the rangers. four white jerseys above the circle. hendry must have thought i was shaving them. after six goals, they eliminate the rangers p. 6-3 the final. >> obviously the results were they played better. simply put, the

match-up with the rangers and the penguins, but still, the rangers have been so good for so long in the post-season the last few years. but now it's over. no rangers rally, no hank stand og his head. ultimately no chance for the blue shirts. this stanley cup round ends with a sobering exit. the blue shirts had to beat the penguins in pittsburgh to keep their season alive. they showed life. just six seconds redirected by rick nash who definitely gets the stick on the puck here for the second of these playoffs. the rangers and penguins then traded goals, and game 5 was tied at 2 before you could even blink. with phil crosby assisting. a turnover leads to this. brian lutz jumping on where credit is due. pittsburgh was coming into this, they were playing real well, and they continued to play real well. they're on top of their game right now. >> obviously, you know, the results were the way they were. they played better. in me to make a difference. and that's painful. you know, that's my job, to try to make the difference there and help the team, but when you're not able to do it, it's >> it
