After winning their first two games of the season, albeit not in a pretty way, the Rangers have dropped their last three and looked bad in doing so. The Blueshrts are dead last in puck possession, meaning they aren’t sustaining offensive pressure consistently and getting pinned in their own end a lot as well. These are not good signs, even if it is just five games.
Their sixth today is against a beatable Vancouver team, but in order to win and look good doing so, they need to overhaul their process. It doesn’t appear to be an effort issue, it’s more a process issue and an execution issue.
