Another year, another spring without playoff hockey at Madison Square Garden. For the second consecutive season, the New York Rangers will be watching the playoffs from the outside looking in, marking the first time the team has missed the playoffs consecutively since the pre-lockout era. While the end of the Blueshirts’ season marks the end of hockey season for some fans, the Stanley Cup Playoffs offer up one of the most entertaining tournament’s in all of sports, and any hockey fan would be remiss to deprive themselves of the best the sport has to offer.
