"Yesterday wasn't a hockey game, it was a slaughter. The Rangers were never in it, and Boston never let up, putting up a 10 spot on the Rangers. This is a dark time for the Rangers. Hopefully this cements them as sellers, as in no way shape or form is buying at the deadline at option. The only positive was Mika Zibanejad remained red hot as he scored the opening goal and got an assist on the powerplay."
"The Bruins had 2 players score hat tricks, one of them scoring four, and the Rangers almost gave up a third hat trick. This team looks and plays an awful lot like the team that was around last year, but incredibly, they look worse. I have no doubts that Mike Sullivan is a great coach given his track record in Pittsburgh with some pretty mediocre rosters, but it speaks volumes that even under his coaching, this group is still a collective mess."
The New York Rangers were battered in a 10-goal defeat by the Boston Bruins, who produced two hat tricks and a four-goal game. Mika Zibanejad scored the opening goal and added a power-play assist, while the rest of the roster underperformed. Injuries to Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin have exposed defensive and goaltending weaknesses. The group resembles last season’s struggling lineup but appears worse despite Mike Sullivan’s strong coaching pedigree. The roster lacks leadership and consistency, prompting calls to sell veterans, prioritize prospects, and manage injuries carefully. Playoff contention seems unlikely with 36 games remaining.
