Zach is going to have a lot to say about the Rangers' loss today and the subsequent end to their 2007-2008 season. He's the one you want to read.
However, here's the one point I really wanted to make. Aside from the unfathomable mismatch that was the Detroit-Colorado series, I've never seen series that have been more closely played, yet have been horribly lopsided, than the three series we've seen in this second round. It would be entirely conceivable if it was the Rangers and Canadiens who had advanced, and it'd be plausible if the Sharks had jumped out to a 3-0 lead over Dallas. All of the second round games have been ridiculously close in every series; off the top of my head, I can't even recall a game where the two teams weren't tied or separated by just one goal at some point in the third period. It's hard to fault any of the losing teams in this round, because it's almost hard to believe that they're losing.
A good run falls short, thanks in large part to bad luck. Zach, it's all yours.
