There were many issues that were identified by the players and coaches for the New York Rangers during their 1-4-1 start to the season. It is not like the Blueshirts are getting blown out in these games. Outside of the opening night loss to the Islanders, the other losses have come by just one goal. Of the issues, there is one that needs to be addressed immediately if the team is going to turn things around in a hurry.
Sorry Ranger fans, it is not Jack Johnson. Despite the fact that Jack Johnson’s name became a top Twitter trend after he took a penalty which led to a Sabres power-play goal, he is not at the top of the list of issues for this team.
