Martha Garza+FollowWhat Went Wrong for the Blueshirts?Tough year for the Rangers faithful—after last season’s deep playoff run, missing the postseason and seeing Coach Laviolette shown the door stings. Igor “Shesty” Shesterkin admitted, “something broke” as the team lost its rhythm, and the midseason slide sealed their fate. Losing leaders like Trouba and Goodrow clearly hurt the locker room, and even stars like Fox and Zibanejad couldn’t find their groove. With Shesty’s record contract kicking in, can the Blueshirts bounce back next year? #NYRangers #Shesterkin #NHL #HockeyTalk #Blueshirts #Sports40Share
Sherri West+FollowKreider Battles Through Brutal Blueshirts YearBlueshirts fans, did you see Kreids open up about his roughest season yet? The longest-tenured Ranger was hit with everything—back issues, vertigo, and a busted hand (might need surgery!). No wonder his numbers dipped. Add in all those trade rumors after the Trouba deal, and it’s clear why this year felt off. But Kreider says NY is still home and he’s not looking to leave. After all he’s given the team, should Drury really consider moving him? #NYR #Kreider #Blueshirts #NHL #HockeyTalk #Sports61Share
