This season there are several New York Rangers players subjected to constant criticism including Vlad Namestnikov, Ryan Strome, Brendan Smith and Jimmy Vesey. The reason may be a lack of performance or bonehead errors or just plain not scoring. Vesey has been a target ever since he came into the league and it may be for the wrong reasons.
