NHL hockey team season
The 2001–02 New York Rangers season was the franchise's
76th season. During the regular season, the Rangers finished fourth in the
Atlantic Division , compiling a 36–38–4–4 record.
[1] Their 11th-place finish in the
Eastern Conference kept them out of the
Stanley Cup playoffs for the fifth straight season.
[2] Head coach
Ron Low was fired after the season.
[3]
Pre-season
On September 20, 2001, in the middle of a 2–2 game between the
Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers, the game was stopped. A message from
United States President
George W. Bush about the
September 11 attacks was broadcast on the arena video screen. After the message, the game did not resume and it was declared a 2–2 tie.
[4]
Regular season
The Rangers struggled in short-handed situations, finishing the regular season with the most power-play opportunities against (398), the most power-play goals allowed (80) and the lowest penalty-kill percentage (79.90%).
