10 Years of Failure

Michael Obernauer of the Daily News reminds us that 10 years ago today Glen Sather came to the Rangers to build a winner...

"The cowboy came in and shot the place up, all right. You may have seen the numbers: In the decade since the Broadway canonizing of June 1, 2000 (that's nine seasons, with the lockout shelving 2004-05), the Rangers have won exactly two playoff series, during which time their Atlantic Division rivals have combined to win 27 series and three Stanley Cups. (The Flyers, currently playing the Blackhawks in the Finals, could boost those numbers to 28 and four.) Five different coaches have passed through, including Sather himself when he oversaw garbage time on Bryan Trottier's brief blooper reel in 2002-03."

...we've talked about Sather's failures ad nauseum so no need to go into a long raving rant. Two playoff series wins in 10 years pretty much speaks for itself.
