"It is many things," said Boyle. "He is angry, it's sad - most of the season. We are a group of close. There are a lot of games, it's a grind, but it's over. He went too fast.
"It's the worst feeling, that you may have", he said.
The Rangers lost, 3-1, Saturday, sent home after five games by the most talented and yet just as grainy capitals. Their final performance was the season for the Rangers in the microcosm: a middling team working hard until the end, suspended as long as it is possible because his guardian and his shot-blocking, the power still hindered by the fury of his coach and finally quashed by his inability to score.
Henrik Lundqvist was valiant 24 shots of judgment. Dan Girardi, Marc Staal and seven other Rangers blocked an additional 20. Possible Girardi paid with a dislocated finger and ankle injury, but he played until the end.
Boyle, Brandon Prust and Sean Avery generated this score some chance the Rangers had their pickling and grappling. Marian Gáborík, went 42-goal 2010 sniper cold in 2011, has failed to make a difference.
Rangers even scored a goal of honour, 32 seconds from the end when Wojtek Wolski ended the shutout.
"I am at a loss for words, I suppose," said Brandon Dubinsky. "We have worked very hard throughout the year." So it is on this quick is difficult. ?
If the Rangers came out, now, after having won the Stanley Cup once at the age of 71 in this playoffs more distant 1994.
They reached the final on their last day of the regular season, a slight improvement in the last year, when they missed the playoffs on the last day, but also a slight comedown, two years ago when they lost against the capitals in the first round in seven games. They have not advanced beyond the second round since Glen Sather became the Director General in 2000.
"We are still in the process, so we just continue, trying to get better,", said John Tortorella, who took over as coach of the Rangers in the 2008-2009 season. "I do not think that our team has been built yet.
For Washington, it was the second victory of the series on the Rangers in three years. The capitals have played six other playoff since 1998 and has lost all.
Mike Green, Alex Ovechkin and Alexander Semin scored the goals of Washington, one in each period, and rookie goalie Michal Neuvirth stopped 26 shots.
The Rangers best stretch came in the first 30 seconds, when the line of Boyle-Prust-Avery created the real danger and attempt enclosing Boyle was intercepted by Neuvirth. He was one of the five shots by Boyle, who wound up with a top 25 team in the series, but did not score a point. They missed the injured Ryan Callahan and his 23 goals throughout this series.
"We were shooting, we had traffic, but it would not go in the net," said Boyle.
After the Rangers have been "under siege", as said Dubinsky, and they had the chance to escape the first period to end by 1-0. The capitals dominated possession and outshot 13-6.
Gáborík was a particular portion of difficulty, making it twice more low touch passes shorted rushes Rangers and gave rise to Washington counterattacks.
The capitals took the lead when Green scored on a game of power, 5 minutes 59 seconds, his first goal of the series and the first time or the other team scored in the opening period.
While the capitals celebrated objective of Green, a game of catch in anger erupted across the net. Two Rangers and two capitals have been sent offshore, but things have worsened for the Rangers when Tortorella was assessed a bench minor for unsporting behaviour, allowing Washington to maintain the pressure on.
More later in the period, Green, who missed the final 20 games of the regular season with a concussion, had to leave the game when he was struck on the helmet he navigated to block a shot.
The Rangers themselves straightened in second period and outshot Washington, 10-6. But they made one and only goal of the period when Ovechkin - style vintage - rushing around Staal, cut through the slot and backhanded the puck to the top corner past a sprawling Lundqvist at 7: 04.
Ovechkin led all scorers in the series with 6 points - three goals and three assists. Top scorers of the Rangers, Dubinsky and Wolski, each had 3 points.
The Rangers remained close in the third period, but with 3: 37 left, Semin completes a break of two to one with his third goal of the series to give the score of 3-0.
The crowd chanted "We're louder!" - a taunt to the Rangers fans who chanted "can hear you us?" during the first two periods of game 4 on Wednesday in New York. But this Madison Square Garden crowd grew quiet when the capitals agrees with a 3-0 in the third period deficit and won the match in the 33rd minute of overtime, dealing a crushing blow to the hopes of the Rangers. Fans of raucous Washington had no reason to be silent Saturday.
"We had opportunities, but if we did take against a more qualified team, it will be difficult," Lundqvist said.
He mentions the loss of the Rangers 1 game here, when they took a 1-0 in the third period lead, but then lost in overtime. And he mentioned the collapse which took end of game 4.
"I am really disappointed right now," said Lundqvist. "I really thought that we had a chance."
