We’ve made it. We’ve finally crossed the finish line of the 2023-24 NHL season.
It was one for the ages with some incredible performances from players and teams that made this season an instant classic. Before the real fun begins this weekend — a playoffs that will hopefully match the spectacle of the 82 games before it — we’ve got one last regular season edition of The Rankings.
Within it, our annual tradition of passing the buck onto the readers: one tweet to describe your favorite team’s season. Let’s see what you all came up with.
For the final Power Rankings of the regular season: Describe your favorite team’s season in one tweet
