Perhaps the Rangers should change their Twitter hashtag from #NoQuitInNY to #YesQuitInNY, because the Rangers quit last night. Maybe not in the first period, when one fluke goal put them down. Maybe not in the second period, when a bad bounce led to the back breaking third goal. But in the third period, and through most of Game 4, they absolutely quit. Pathetic doesn’t even begin to describe it.
The Rangers went into last season with no expectations, and shocked us all by making their run to the Eastern Conference Final. They didn’t have the word Quit in their vocabulary.
