Final Coliseum clash deserved better than inevitable Rangers loss
NY Post
This wasn’t a fair fight. This wasn’t even a fight at all. The last Battle of New York at the Coliseum was by all measure the least in the history of the building. It had a preseason atmosphere, but without the brawls that once upon a time marked the rivalry. This was bloodless. This was passionless.
So this was not particularly painful for the Blueshirts, whose tragic number for playoff elimination has dwindled to a single point following Saturday night’s 3-0 loss, in which Semyon Varlamov became the first goaltender to shut out the Rangers four times in a season in 67 years, since the Red Wings’ Terry Sawchuk in 1954-55. This was not Thursday. This was not a duplication of the Rangers’ unpalatable effort in the 4-0 loss at the Garden to these same tormentors. This, instead, was inevitable.
