With the Rangers getting ready to begin a postseason series against the cross-state rival Devils that starts on Tuesday, April 18 at 7 p.m. at the Prudential Center, Patrick Kane reflected on his tenure in New York and the team’s potential playoff run.
“It’s crazy how fast time has went since I’ve been here but this is the main reason why I wanted to join the team, is for the playoffs, and the team they had and what they were able to accomplish last year," Kane said Saturday. "It seems like we just added to that group last year and hopefully we can do some special things here. Obviously you’re hoping for a deep run.”
The Blueshirts won two rounds and made it to the Conference Finals last season before losing to the Tampa Bay Lightning in six games, including losing four straight after going up 2-0 in the series.
A young team this year and last year, the Rangers added the veteran Kane at the trade deadline to bolster their roster with someone that has plenty of playoff experience. The former Chicago Blackhawk has won three Stanley Cups in his career and has made it to the postseason 10 times, although none since the 2020 season.
“When you’re playing hockey and you’re coming up and you’re starting to play in the playoffs, the one thing you want to be known as is a playoff performer and a big game player, so here we are again,” Kane said. “It’s been a few years obviously.”
In 136 playoff games, the 34-year-old has 52 goals and 80 assists as he and the Rangers hope he can come up big once again during a deep playoff run, and give New York its first Stanley Cup since 1994.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
