The Rangers’ season came to a devastating end in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals and now it’s time to look back at the season and ahead to next season.

It’s been nearly a week since the Rangers’ season ended with a Game 7 loss in the Eastern Conference finals and the finality of the Presidents’ Trophy-winning season is still devastating. Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final was on Wednesday night and to catch a glimpse of a Rangers-less Final only made the young offseason that much more depressing.

WFAN Mike’s On: Francesa on the FAN producer Brian Monzo joined me to talk about the 2014-15 Rangers, what went wrong in Game 7 against the Lightning, how the Rangers can get over the hump and win the Stanley Cup and what moves the team should make this offseason.

The Rangers have never been a team that performs well with expectations and this spring they will play with expectations they haven’t had in 21 years.

The Rangers have never been a team that performs well with expectations and starting on Thursday night, they will play with expectations they haven’t had in 21 years. The post-lockout Rangers have thrived when no one believes in them and when the spotlight is elsewhere, but that will have to change this spring if they are to take the next step in their progression and win in June.

Adam Herman of Blueshirt Banter joined me to talk about how the Rangers quickly built themselves from a mediocre team to an elite one, the expectations and pressure on the Rangers, a review of the Keith Yandle trade and what should worry Rangers fans about the team in the postseason.

The wait for the playoffs to begin seems like forever, but the Rangers are set up perfectly for a long run into the late spring and that makes it worth the wait.

The days off between the regular season and the postseason feel like forever. And when you add in the fact that the last few weeks of the Rangers’ season was just a formality because of their strong hold on a playoff berth, the wait has been even longer. But the playoffs are about to begin and the Rangers are perfectly set up for an extended run that should take us into the late spring and that makes it worth the wait.

610 of Barstool Sports New York joined me to talk about which team Rangers fans should have wanted to face in the first round, what it’s like to be the team to beat in the playoffs, why Rangers fans shouldn’t be worried about the Penguins this postseason, how the playoff experience has changed for Rangers fans and predictions for the playoffs.

The mentality has changed for Rangers fans thanks to the Stanley Cup Final run last season and now this spring it’s Stanley Cup or bust for the Rangers.

The playoffs are here and the Rangers got here the way they wanted to. I’m not talking about by winning the Presidents’ Trophy or by winning the East or the Met or by having home-ice advantage for the playoffs. I’m talking about being healthy for the starts of the postseason, which is the most important thing.

WFAN Mike’s On: Francesa on the FAN producer Brian Monzo joined me to talk about the Rangers’ season and what winning the Presidents’ Trophy means, the first-round matchup with the Penguins, last year’s series against the Penguins, which team the Rangers should have wanted to play in the first round, the Stanley Cup-or-bust mentality in New York and predictions for the playoffs.

The Rangers are now the class of the NHL along with the Blackhawks and for the second time in a little over a week, we get a potential Stanley Cup Final preview.

The Rangers are the class of the Eastern Conference. The Blackhawks are the class of the Western Conference. For the second time in just over a week the two teams meet in what we might be able to call a Stanley Cup Final preview if both teams stay healthy for the next two-plus months.

Ryan Brandell of Barstool Sports Chicago (known as “Chief” on that site), joined me to talk about welcoming the Rangers to the class of the NHL, the comfort of knowing your team is going to the playoffs early on and what to do with the shootout and loser point.
