		<title>Rangers and Devils Crawl on Their Bellies Out of the Playoffs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hockey Season is Over

The Rangers went down in defeat, blowing a 3-1 series lead and dropping Game 7 in Washington to the Capitals, 2-1. The Caps scored the winning goal with 4:59 left, completing what was undoubtedly to most hockey mavens a predictable loss for the listless Rangers.

The only thing that made this night sweet [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluboo.wordpress.com&blog=84953&post=161&subd=bluboo&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
