 Game 5 takeaways: Rangers improve, but get pushed to brink of elimination by Panthers

NEW YORK ‒ You could make a fine case that the Rangers played better Thursday than they had in previous playoff games they've won, but the hockey gods can be cruel.So, too, can the Florida Panthers.

The mighty Cats were right there with them, absorbing the push back and showing their own steely resolve to hand the Blueshirts a 3-2 loss in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final at Madison Square Garden. That gave Florida a 3-2 series lead while pushing New York to the brink of elimination for the first time thi"Every game has been super close like that," Chris Kreider said. "It’s obviously a very tight game, so we’ve just got to continue to get pucks and bodies to the net and not let it all come out in the wash."

It's typically been the Rangers who come out on top in games like Thursday's. After all, they're the team that broke the NHL's record for combined comeback wins between the regular season and playoffs with 34 postseason."Leave it all out there," captain Jacob Trouba said. "The goal is to go win one game. There's nothing to save it for. When your back is against the wall, everybody's got to bring their best game to survive another day."

Mystery about the Universe’s First Black Holes May Be Solved at Last

  As astronomers read back into the first chapters of the universe’s history, they have uncovered a horde of gigantic black holes that seem to have matured much faster than scientists thought possible. Priyamvada Natarajan is akin to a cosmic biologist. She studies the life of these precocious black holes, objects so dense that they trap all matter and light within their grasp. As an astronomy graduate student, Natarajan was among the first to treat black holes as populations rather than individual objects by studying their general taxonomy and evolution as though they were bats in a rain forest. Now an astrophysicist at Yale University, Natarajan continues to study the behavior of these animals, and she’s turned her focus to understanding how they’re born. Traditionally, black holes form in the wake of a large stellar explosion, and they grow in mass as they feast on nearby gas reservoirs. But a handful of observations of supermassive black holes in the very early universe hav...
