We all knew this was coming, right? After two strong wins against playoff bound teams, the NY Rangers laid an egg against the Ottawa Senators. The Blueshirts jumped out early, really dominating. Then they must have forgotten that hockey games are 60 minutes, not 8 minutes. It was all Ottawa after that, scoring five straight through the second period.
Alex Georgiev was human in this one, which certainly exposed a Rangers blue line that had two strong games in a sea of bad. This was just structurally terrible all around, with players chasing, puck watching, and generally playing slow and down to their opponent.
