Look, this season was lost months ago. The Rangers have two games left to play and it’s been more or less a slow motion car wreck since February. Lundqvist has been on the 449 win bubble for weeks and every time he has been in net, the Rangers can’t pull it together to win. They lost to Ottowa last night 4-1 and they are literally the worst team in the league. His 14th season is his worst NHL season by far. It’s rough to watch the team collapse around him time after time, it’s really disheartening.

With Lundqvist spinning in circles, Georgiev has been given more starts. He’s put on some all star showings and has shown real growth (I think his latest run is 7-4-3 wheres Hank’s is 3-10-3 or so) which is good to see.

Ranger fans have been looking to next season for a while now and a lot of work needs to be done. Hank simply can’t play 60+ anymore. I think he needs to find himself again, he’s been off kilter for awhile not able to shake off losses.

The playoffs should be fantastic, the first round will knock off the bottom 2 weakest teams quickly (one wild card spot is up for grabs in the west and 2 are being fought for by like 5 teams in the east) but after that, it’s all killers. The competition level should be off the charts and the results matter for the Rangers as it’s possible they get 2 very high draft picks out of it.
