It is always amusing to watch the people on the ledge after a loss like Tuesday’s. The Rangers lead the league in points, are second in regulation/OT wins, and have the fewest regulation losses in the league. But yet, when they lay an egg against a playoff team like the Devils, fans start jumping ship. It’s really funny actually.
The hockey season is a roller coaster ride. Sure, the Rangers haven’t looked strong in their past few games, but Tuesday’s loss was the first time the Rangers didn’t get a point since February 21, a span of six games. They went 4-0-2 in that span, getting 10 of a possible 12 points. And this has been in a span that everyone has noticed that they aren’t playing their ‘A’ game.
A win is a win is a win. Not every Stanley Cup champion looks perfect in every single game. Only the Red Wings manage to appear perfect in every aspect of every game. But yet, the Rangers are ahead of them in the standings.
This team is built for the playoffs. They have the best goalie...

It’s at the point where the problems of the New York Rangers are becoming repetitive and maybe have more to do with the personnel of the team rather than just the way they are playing. We’ve watched this team ride a high from late October into mid-January, but since then we have yet to see that dominant hockey club come out and win on a consistent basis. In fact, they’re...

The Rangers need more skill. During a promising season that potentially could conclude with Lord Stanley’s mug, the Rangers greatest need is becoming more apparent the deeper we go in to the season. More specifically, they need established skill.
With the likes of Chris Kreider coming – likely coming sooner rather than later – there is certainly skill on the horizon, but this...

The Blueshirts' recent concerns culminated in last night's defeat, as the team struggled in every aspect of their game for about 50 out of the 60 minutes of play.
