The New York Rangers are not going to win a playoff series, let alone the Stanley Cup, if they continue to “play” at their current level on home ice. The team has lost its last seven straight home games and hasn’t grabbed two points on Broadway since Feb. 19 against the Capitals.
Yes, that was over a month ago. It’s become abundantly clear that home cooking alone is not going to get this team where it needs to be as we approach April.
Despite their NHL-leading 26 wins on the road, the Rangers are going to have to win at home if they’re to make a deep run.
