Sunday Standings: Panic for the Rangers
Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty ImagesThe most interesting recent development in the Metropolitan Division might be focused ont the New York Rangers these days. NYR has floundered as of late, breaking a five-game losing streak yesterday against Montreal. Overall from Nov 4th - 29th, they had a 4-7-0 record. That doesn’t sound like the end of the world on paper — any and everyone can hit a rut now and then.
But the problems have gone well beyond the simple record. The team has looked disjointed, uninterested, incapable and a singular injury to a player you wouldn’t think would be that crucial in Filip Chytil put NYR completely on the ropes and set off a domino effect of negative events.
