The New York Rangers have officially been eliminated from the playoffs, marking a disappointing end to a season filled with expectations. Following a disheartening 7-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, the team has faced scrutiny at every level, from the front office to the coaching staff and players. This season stands out as one of the worst in franchise history, especially after the previous year’s President's Trophy win. Key players have underperformed, with Igor Shesterkin and Chris Kreider at the center of the criticism. The offseason brings uncertainty as the Rangers ponder sweeping changes, including the potential for new leadership in management and on the ice. With the looming end of an era for Kreider, fans are left to reflect on what went wrong and what the future holds for the franchise.
