The New York Rangers continued their free fall Wednesday night, allowing six unanswered goals in a blowout loss to the Boston Bruins on home ice.
Captain Ryan McDonagh didn't mince words about what he considers one of the most dismal performances he's ever been a part of with the organization.
"It's probably one of the worst games of my career and one of the worst games I've ever been a part of in my Rangers career, so that pretty much sums it up," he said.
McDonagh played more than 21 minutes and finished the game as a minus-2. With the loss, the Rangers now have just three regulation wins in their last 20 games, and the club has shown no signs of snapping out of its extended funk.
"It's been brutal, no question about it," he said. "With everything going on with the team, we need to stay focused on trying to put together somewhat of a complete game. We're not getting close."
New York now sits three points outside the playoff cut line and faces the distinct possibility of missing out on the postseason for the first time since 2010-11.
