For the majority of the 21st Century, the New York Rangers have experienced considerable success. Although they've not won the Stanley Cup this century, they've consistently made the playoffs.
Since the 2000-01 season, they've made the playoffs 15 times and have the most playoff wins without a Cup win during that time. It's an era of stability that few teams have been able to achieve, and many wish they could have it.
However, while the majority of this century has been successful, it did not start that way. In fact, the first few years of the new millennium saw the Rangers struggle to find regular-season success.
