In the past, these season ending eulogies have been emotional. They’ve been raw.
This one isn’t. Instead of raw emotion, there’s a cold, calculated feeling of understanding – of knowing.
This was coming for a long time. The New York Rangers pushed it off as far as they could, kicking the can until their feet were blistered and raw, but time, time always wins. The Rangers had their chances at glory and missed it; they spent money and assets to keep a window open that had already been closed for three years.
Sure, change has already come.
