The Rangers are back at it at MSG today, taking on the playoff bound Pittsburgh Penguins and old friend Dan Muse. The Penguins are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games, but are also without Sidney Crosby due to an injury at the Olympics. The Rangers, meanwhile, are in free fall as we await more trades in this retool. Only the Vancouver Canucks are worse than the Rangers at the moment, which should come as no surprise to anyone.
What should also come as no surprise is the leadership group is back to their same old antics. This season can’t end soon enough.
