The Rangers lost to the San Jose Sharks last night in overtime, which was not on my bingo card. You can expect a team with no wins to go all in for a win but the Rangers basically handed them the game.

Even going down 1 goal in the first period, the Rangers dominated the period. The game felt within reach and that came true in the second period when Chytl and Panarin scored fantastic goals.

And then the third period started and the Rangers collapsed. 2 shots on goal. 2! How is that even possible? At least 8 completely missed the net. The Sharks’ penalty kill (their best stat so far this season) stopped the Rangers completely. And that’s been an issue for a while, if the power play doesn’t get points, it puts the Rangers and the back foot because their 5-on-5 scoring frequently isn’t enough to win a game outright. The amount of turnovers was absurd. There was a point when back-to-back passes went directly to the other team. They weren’t even looking for someone to pass to! Just huck it behind you and hope for the best. It was like David Quinn was coaching again, but he’s actually coaching the Sharks now.

Gallant was clearly annoyed at the post-game interview and you better believe the team is going to hear it. They can’t play like that, it’s embarrassing. Overtime was just a knife into the back the losing goal was so dumb. Columbus is on Sunday afternoon and they are another struggling team. I don’t know what got into the team last night but they better learn from it.
