Part 4/8:
One of the more emblematic moments in this bleak stretch for the Rangers occurred in their game against the Blues, where defenseman Ryan Lindgren's efforts were called into question. Just after he had publicly acknowledged the team's failures in competing for contested pucks, he lost a critical battle on the ice that resulted in a goal for the Blues. This moment encapsulated the entire season's failures, illustrating a lack of accountability and grit that has plagued the club. The accountability extends beyond the players; everyone is pointing fingers, yet no one is taking responsibility.
