Rangers completely outplayed by Lightning in another dispiriting home loss
NY Post
Welcome home.
Back at Madison Square Garden with a chance to set a season-high four-game winning streak, the Rangers again looked lost on their home ice, like a team on a never-ending penalty kill, getting outplayed and outworked by the Lightning — and outshot 35-11 — in a dispiriting 4-1 loss Saturday afternoon.
“There was no urgency,” captain J.T. Miller said. “We dipped our toe into the game. We got outplayed basically the whole time. It’s unacceptable.
“It’s not nearly good enough at home. For some reason, we were very content with not bringing our ‘A’ game. It’s disappointing and it starts with me. I gotta be better and lead better. We can’t have this anymore.”
While Tampa Bay (16-7-2) claimed its seventh straight win — and payback for a 7-3 loss to the Blueshirts on Nov. 12 — the Rangers (13-12-2) added another embarrassing chapter at the Garden, where they have produced the worst start in franchise history (2-8-1), being held to one goal or fewer in eight games.
