Rangers' Season Was a Success, But Harsh Changes Are Coming in the Offseason

The New York Rangers' lethargic Game 6 loss on Saturday ended a brilliant season with a demoralizing thud. The Rangers were as good as they have been in 30 years. The Blueshirts made it through the first two rounds of the playoffs with just two losses and ensured nostalgic longevity thanks to four overtime winners and Chris Kreider's career-defining Game 6 Hat Trick to advance past Carolina. There's no shame in losing to this Panthers team that finished with 110 points and is headed to the Final for the second straight season.
