Brutal! Video Captures Ugly Scene After New York’s Game 5 Loss
Things went from bad, to worse, last night at Madison Square Garden.
On the ice, the New York Rangers lost Game 5 of their Eastern Conference Finals series against the Tampa Bay Lightning, falling by a score of 3-1. The Blueshirts struck first in the pivotal Game 5, scoring just over halfway into the game, but they couldn't hold their lead, and Tampa took advantage.
Off the ice, however, things got very ugly, as fans from both sides exited Madison Square Garden, onto the streets of New York City.
