It shouldn't matter that the Rangers and the Knicks aren't playing anymore this spring because really we knew they wouldn't playing that long all along.
The Rangers' season came to an abrupt end on Saturday, but according to the New York Post, John Tortorella's tenure as head coach will continue.
When the Rangers look back at this season, two key moments will surely stand out: one will make them smile; the other will cause them to cringe.
