The Rangers figured to have hit rock bottom on Saturday afternoon after allowing a touchdown to the Islanders. That game should have woken the team up and given them the shot in the arm they needed to stop allowing 30+ shots a game. Boy were we wrong.
This was now the 15th straight game where the Rangers allowed 30+ shots in a game. They now haven’t won in regulation since December 19. I’m amazed the goalies haven’t mutinied at this point.
I couldn’t watch the game, so I polled Twitter to see how everyone took the loss. Some of the answers were fun.
Buch played about a minute after the Pens took the lead

This sounds about right.
Staal and Kampfer led the team in ice time.

Oh come on.
When this team slumps, they don't half-ass it.

Well at least they give 100% doing something. That’s a start.
Embarrassed after break, talk big talk post game. Give up over 45 shots next night. Seems like they learned rather quickly #sarcasm

At some point, you wonder if they care. See previous tweet.

Well this is one way to get Alain Vigneault fired into the sun. I think that’s a good way to end this tire fire.
