Another Rangers game, another Rangers one goal loss. Though, that is a bit misleading as they made it a one goal game late in the third. An effort that started all Rangers quickly became all Flyers halfway through the game. Penalties galore, complacent effort, and Igor doing all he could as he was peppered with shots just about sums up this 2021 Rangers season. With this loss, it is all but certain the Rangers will miss the playoffs. RIP to the New York Rangers. But that’s okay.
Though the Rangers absolutely could have been a playoff team this season had there been no COVID issues from Zibanejad, no Chytil injury, and some lineup tweaks made too little too late, I’m ultimately hopeful.
