tRY IT NOW

The Rangers are going to get exactly what they put into this season. 

From the drama-filled offseason that lingered, the apparent off-kilt locker room and the season-long lack of urgency, heart and drive, the Blueshirts’ 2024-25 campaign is on the verge of being reduced to nothing despite managing to stay alive amid the Canadiens’ 5-2 loss to the Senators on Friday night. 

The Rangers are still just one loss or one Habs point away from the end of this miserable season.

While they won’t take anything away from this season in terms of accolades, the Rangers who were part of the calamity that unfolded over the last six months will be stained by this forever.
