Season Ends Abruptly
With yesterday’s shootout loss to the Flyers, the Rangers’ season came abruptly to an end. Maybe I’d gotten too used to seeing post-season play, but for whatever reason the loss yesterday struck me as surprising, and of course more than a little disappointing.
In many ways it was a fitting end to the season, a shootout loss following a one goal game. Perhaps was also fitting that the high-priced under performer Olli Jokinen failed to convert on the shot that would have prolonged at least the game, if not the season.
