NBC analyst and former Rangers forward Eddie Olczyk explains to The Post’s Justin Terranova why the Blueshirts are still Stanley Cup contenders, despite their many issues.
Q: What is the biggest reason for the Rangers’ inconsistency?
A: Teams have either tied the Rangers or taken the lead in the final five minutes so often this season. Is that just sitting back and relying too much on one of the best goaltenders in the world? But there’s a fine line between playing to add to a lead and just protecting a lead. You have to take some of the pressure off that guy in goal.
