NEW YORK (AP) - Jaromir Jagr was right. The New York Rangers are a playoff team. The odds-on choice to be the NHL MVP shook off the doubters and said so at the start of training camp in September. Then he went out and made it happen.
His record-setting season is going to stretch longer into April as the Rangers march into the postseason for the first time since 1997.
"I was 90 percent sure we were going to make it," Jagr said after the Rangers locked up a spot Tuesday with a shootout win over Philadelphia. "I'm glad. I got what I expected. I would be very upset if we didn't make it."
