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.
