If your entire feeling of the team was based on social media reactions, then you'd think the Rangers are in last place, haven't won a game all season, and it was time to blow up the Rangers roster.
There is no one single reason why the Rangers are slumping. In fact, it's likely a combination of many factors: The adrenaline rush wore off, as mentioned above, injuries are still impacting the roster, and the lack of a true 3C is hurting them, injuries for players like Adam Fox, even though he returned, lingered longer than expected, roster imbalance, specifically the third line, makes them easier to match up/play against, subpar goaltending, refocus on the little details: The 2-1-2 forecheck, clogging the neutral zone, clearing out home plate in the defensive zone, etc.
