PHILADELPHIA — In a matter of weeks, the Rangers have become the Giants and Jets.
The season has devolved into dysfunction marked by a fifth straight regulation defeat that matches the club’s longest stretch of futility since the tumultuous final week of the 2020-21 season — during which president John Davidson and general manager Jeff Gorton were fired days ahead of the dismissal of head coach David Quinn.
Now GM Chris Drury and head coach Peter Laviolette have the responsibility of fixing what has become a broken unit. It is still November, the Rangers still have a winning record of 12-9-1, but there is no time to waste for either of these gentlemen, and there is no time to waste for a cast of characters in the room who appear to have lost their will.
