Rangers fans still showed up Thursday at Madison Square Garden, as they always do, to witness the end of a season which offered them very little to be proud of.  

They’ve endured a disastrous 2024-25 campaign all the way through.

The Rangers became the fourth team in NHL history to miss the postseason one year after winning the Presidents’ Trophy, dropping from a franchise-record 55 wins all the way down to 39.

They managed a 4-0 win over the Lightning in Thursday’s regular-season finale, but neither team had anything to play for.
