With their loss on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia Flyers, the Montreal Canadiens now just need to get one point in their next four games to officially eliminate the Rangers from playoff contention. The Rangers’ nightmare of a season that has been filled with trades, drama, dysfunction, and heartless play is finally about to end. There will be some major turnover whether it’s a change in management, coaching or drastic trades and free agent signings to drastically shake up the roster. We are officially about to witness some meaningless games for the Rangers and let's see how they handle it. If we can take any lessons from the atmosphere in the locker room after Wednesday night’s loss, it appears as if the Blueshirts no longer have any hope and are frustrated beyond belief. This next batch of games feels like the calm before the storm. A whirlwind of change is coming and it will likely come very quickly upon the season’s end. That being said, pay close attention to the way the Rangers conduct themselves over the last four games of the regular season. We’ll see by their body language on the ice, compete level, and quotes after games to see where they are at mentally and how fed up they are with the whole year.
