When it comes to dolling out blame about the fall from grace of the New York Giants, it likely starts at the top with ownership’s reluctance to move on from Eli Manning out of loyalty. In fact, when given the opportunity to move on multiple times, Manning was kept on board. Think about how that contrasts from the New York Rangers’ situation with goaltender Henrik Lundqvist.
Both Lundqvist and Manning are colossal figures in New York sport’s history. The youngest Manning brother won a pair of super bowls and overcame the odds as a less talented sibling. As for Lundqvist, the Swede was the backbone of the Ranger organization for more than 15 years and still plays at a relatively high level.
