OK, dreamers, settle down. Yes, the Rangers’ thrilling 2-1 victory Monday over the visiting Vancouver Canucks put them into an Eastern Conference playoff spot for the moment, but it’s not like the season is ending anytime soon. Right now is a little too soon to be thinking about the playoffs – at least, it is, according to Henrik Lundqvist.
“I think we have to keep the same mindset as when we started the season, and that’s very short-term,’’ Lundqvist said when asked if the Rangers’ 6-0-1 run has allowed him and his teammates to fantasize about the postseason.
