That was a heck of a scenario, one we don't often see. Rangers vs. Flyers in the final game of the season, tied going into the game and the winner makes the playoffs, the loser doesn't. The game goes to a shootout and the Rangers lose after Jokinen fails to score on the final shot (obviously, not his fault solely, but people still like to blame the last guy to shoot).
Without that, we likely would have missed out on so many crazy storylines that spring. The Flyers comeback from 0-3 in the second round. The 7 vs. 8 Eastern Conference Final. The Flyers in the Stanley Cup Final.
