Rangers need to clean it up in dirtiest area of the ice
NY Post
WINNIPEG, Manitoba — The Rangers stood by their defensive structure in the immediate aftermath of their Weekend of Missed Opportunities, in which they had two chances to capture the top wild-card spot in the East and failed to do so in such disappointing fashion.
After they took a 3-1 lead in the third period in Ottawa on Saturday afternoon, the Blueshirts were then outscored 10-3 by the Senators and Blue Jackets combined.
The Madison Square Garden crowd even booed them off the ice Sunday night following their third straight loss, a sound this team has heard on several occasions this season.
So what changed from the back-to-back shutouts they posted on March 2 and 3 to their back-to-back collapses on March 8 and 9?

The Knicks won’t be raising a banner to the rafters at Madison Square Garden to commemorate their victory in the 2025 NBA Cup, and you can count your humble narrator among the faction that wishes they’d chosen differently. I’m not quite sure when it became mandatory to rinse as much fun out of sports as possible, but we’re sure trying.
