This article comes courtesy of an absolute no show by the Rangers in game 39 of 56 in their “playoff push”. The offense shriveled up, the top six could not score five on five, and bad reads by defensemen cost goals against. It’s no secret that the Rangers–despite exploding once in the previous 7 games–have a 5 on 5 offense problem. While it is awesome the power play numbers are regressing to more accurately depict the level of talent, there’s no question this is rock bottom at a time when the Rangers need to be essentially winning every game.
After last night’s rock bottom, should the Rangers shift focus to development?
