The New York Rangers had a disappointing postseason last year, getting eliminated in the first round by the New Jersey Devils after winning both games 1 and 2 to start the series. It's clear that some players on the roster are taking the loss to heart.
It is always tough for teams to bounce back after a playoff loss, and will be especially so for the Rangers, a team that made big acquisitions last year at the deadline to go all in on a Stanley Cup run. The Rangers acquired the likes of Kane and Tarasenko in hopes of getting deep into the playoffs. A first-round exit was well short of expectations.
