It took 82 games, including an overtime period and a shootout in the final one, but the highly-paid New York Rangers managed to just miss the 2010 playoffs. With their 2-1 shootout loss to the Flyers this afternoon, they end their four-year streak of making the playoffs, finishing 9th in the East with 87 points this year.
In other words, after starting 7-1 in their first 8 games of the season, they couldn't even manage to go 0.500 the rest of way, posting a 31-32-11 record the rest of the way. How pathetic is that? Pretty damned pathetic!!
Congratulations to all the fans of all the teams that actually finished in the top 53% of their respective conferences this year. Too bad I'm not one of them!
Lundquvist played amazing, and his team should have won this game for him. Tough loss in general, but even tougher with a playoff spot on the line.

I believe there's only ONE team that he should be cheering for now....
