And that bugaboo was on display again on Friday night as the New York Rangers dropped a tough 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres at Madison Square Garden.
Despite outclassing the Toronto Maple Leafs in a huge win on Wednesday, the Blueshirts could not build on that and they put up an absolute stinker to a Sabres team that has been slumping badly.
The two goals scored in the third period by the Rangers acted as mere eyewash for what was a dominant outing from the Buffalo Sabres from the first drop of the puck until the last.
