from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
The team is tight. Confidence is seeping out of the room in the manner of a balloon slowly leaking air. Frustration is mounting.
What’s more, there is a sense of widespread belief within the room that the team’s creativity is being stifled by a system whose tenants are becoming more conservative than Sean Hannity. The Rangers appear to be consumed with not making mistakes rather than attempting to force the opposition into making mistakes of its own. They seem obsessed with limiting scoring chances against, as opposed to generating chances themselves.
They seem, that is, to be following the game plan.
If Renney thought his players were inattentive during the first half hour of practice, the head coach had every right to put his team through the punishing bag skate. The Rangers would be better off, however, if Renney actually exerted his authority during games by enforcing accountability by benching repeat offenders.

Something is just not working. The team gets so few score chances that when they do - they look over anxious. I understand defense first mentality they are going with… but it’s not working right now. We just can’t find the back of the net.
