With the 2010’s officially in the rear view mirror, the time has come for some reflection on one of the most successful decades in Blueshirts’ history. After exiting the “Dark Ages” and finishing the 2000’s with four consecutive playoff appearances, the Rangers entered the 2010’s with high hopes. Although they exited the decade without securing their ultimate goal of a fifth Stanley Cup title, the 2010’s represented one of the franchise’s most successful decades in their history.
A resume featuring nine playoff series victories, seven consecutive playoff berths from 2011-2017, and three Conference Finals appearances is about as strong as any team can muster up without laying claim to a championship.
