Monday night the New York Rangers faced off against their divisional rivals, the New Jersey Devils and took an embarrassing 5-1 loss on home ice.
Unfortunately the embarrassment doesn't end there for the Rangers and their fans as, former Rangers goaltender and analyst Steve Valiquette makes a fool of himself after his latest comments on Devils star Jack Hughes.
New Jersey Devils linemates Jesper Bratt and Jack Hughes ran a clinic on the Rangers during Monday night's contest as they put up a combined seven points.
However, Steve Valiquette calls out Jack Hughes for trying to attempt a backhand deke while on a breakaway against Igor Shesterkin.
Cleary getting a confused response from Jack Hughes, here's what was said:
Even the New Jersey Devils made fun of Valiquette's take and the New York Rangers with a post-game clip:
Certainly a hot take from the former Rangers goaltender.
However, it's now the responsibility of the New York Rangers to turn things around and keep pushing forward and come back with a better response during their next game.
Which will be on Friday night against Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins at 7:30PM.
