Sadly, the Rangers fell the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday. The Rangers trailed 2-0 heading into the third period and made a valiant comeback. The Blueshirts battled back, but the Penguins would not be denied. The Pens were ready to play in overtime and you could sense the inevitable was going to happen. On a broken play, the puck came on Marion Hossa's stick, and he slid the puck inbetween Henrik Lundqvist's legs. Lundqvist played amazing, he faced over 40 shots and kept the Rangers in it. In the end, it was not meant to be as the Rangers season has come to an end.
Looking back at the season the Rangers had some high hopes for this season. Images of the Rangers holding the cup in May have come to an end. The Rangers do have some bright points though, as their youngsters showed a lot of promise. Dubinsky, Callahan, Staal, Girardi, Dawes, and Koporskwi all showed poise in their first Stanley Cup playoffs. The Rangers will head into the offseason with all out questions. Will Jagr, Shanahan, Straka be back? Will the Rangers resign agitator Sean Avery? What will the Rangers do with head coach Tom Renney? All these questions need to be answered in the offseason. Hopefully the Rangers will find a gem in the draft.
Well even though the Rangers are done, LETS GO RANGERS for next year.
