Rangers’ Season Ends in Disappointment: Who’s to Blame?
June 2, 2024 by Sam Henes
The New York Rangers’ season concluded last night with a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to the Florida Panthers. Despite clinching the Presidents’ Trophy, they fell six games short of their ultimate goal. In the coming weeks, the blame will likely be directed at key players such as Artemi Panarin, Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider, Adam Fox, and Peter Laviolette, all of whom deserve it. However, four players should be exempt from this blame: Vincent Trocheck, Alexis Lafreniere, Igor Shesterkin, and Barclay Goodrow. They delivered outstanding performances throughout the playoffs and should hold their heads high, questioning why their teammates failed to rise to the occasion. Ultimately, the most significant share of the blame should be placed on Rangers’ captain Jacob Trouba and general manager Chris Drury.

Was the Rangers’ 2023-24 Season a Success?
June 2, 2024 by Lucas Standel
The 2023-24 season has come to an end for the New York Rangers as they fell in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final to the Florida Panthers. This is the second time they have lost in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final in the past three seasons, losing to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs. It was a season where it truly felt like it was Stanley Cup or bust and the Rangers once again fell short of ending the 30-year Stanley Cup drought.
