Disgraceful. After playing excellent hockey down the stretch in their last game, the Rangers laid an absolute turd in the middle of Madison Square Garden. If I was at the stadium, You’d be hearing some loud booing, and I almost never boo my team.
The best way to describe that period of hockey by the Rangers is “content”. They seemed content that they were doing enough, that they were playing well enough not to lose. They had no bounce in their step, definitely did not seem willing to give it that extra effort to dig the pucks out, to get in the passing lanes, to win the loose puck battles. If I’ve learned anything watching the Capitals the last few years, it’s that they are most definitely going to do just that. They may not have the most talented team in the world, but they play with a lot of heart, and have a solid goalie.
You can NOT coast to a win against this team (can you coast to a win against ANY team?!).
Play with some freaking pride or get the hell off my ice.
