Reeling Rangers finally get a needed break from ‘miserable’ stretch
NY Post
We interrupt this meltdown to bring you four days without a desultory Rangers loss.
Yes, true, the NHL is closed for the holidays, which only serves to illustrate how far and how quickly the Rangers have fallen.
A Stanley Cup contender about a month ago, the Blueshirts have descended into being a punchline like the Giants and Jets (they can’t lose Sunday, they’re on a bye week!).
About the only good thing that can be said about Tuesday is that it was better than most of the 32 days that preceded it.
Certainly it was better than Monday, which began with the news that Chris Kreider was a healthy scratch and got worse from there.
The Rangers managed only 12 shots on goal in a 5-0 loss in Newark which was every bit the laugher the score indicated.

The worst team in baseball since Friday the 13th of June caught a rare break when Tuesday night’s game versus the consistently feisty and perennially overachieving Brewers was postponed. The surprise cancellation spared the sagging Mets another potential loss, and for 18 more hours halted the worst kind of negative momentum an alleged playoff team could possibly have.
