Across the room, minutes apart late Saturday night, Mika Zibanejad and Henrik Lundqvist used the same word to describe the toll all the losing has taken on the Rangers.
They were getting ready to fly home after a six-day, four-game road trip that featured another loss in overtime, a loss marred by two of their own getting ejected, a loss when their coach said they finally caved to their reality and one final loss when they simply weren’t good enough with the puck.
“It’s not fun,” Zibanejad said after the final dagger, a 5-2 loss to the Wild.
