Peter Laviolette shockingly calls out the New York Rangers after losing to the Colorado Avalanche
The New York Rangers were unable to beat the Colorado Avalanche in the ongoing series between the two teams. After today, the Avalanche are 2-0-0 against the Rangers. During a post-game conference, he'd call out the Rangers, and share his frustrations with the loss.
Head Coach Peter Laviolette had a postgame conference with the local media, and he'd be asked about the New York Rangers effort today.
The team would fall 5-4 to the Avalanche, and the officials weren't helping. Adam Fox was penalized, after accidentally wrapping his arm around Parker Kelly's head, which led to the forward embellishing the incident, as he'd fell on the ice.
That'd put the Avalanche on the man advantage early and give the team a 3-2 lead over the Rangers in the 1st.
The high-scoring affair was unable to be stopped though, as they would be pushed into overtime after Artemi Panarin's goal at 15:02 in the 3rd period kept the Blueshirts in the game.
While the team put in an excellent effort today, they failed to play a full 65 minutes, which was required to stop the Avalanche.
Honestly, you can't fault him as the team played well but was unable to win in regulation. Something that could become a problem for the team, if this continues.
With the team securing a point today, the Rangers now are at 52 points, and 5th in the Metropolitan Division.
Still three points behind their divisional rivals, the Columbus Blue Jackets, and a wild-card spot in the playoffs.
The Rangers had nine players who contributed a point today, as Artemi Panarin, Vinnie Troecheck, Sam Carrick, and Will Borgen were the goal-scorers.
The team had secondary help with Urho Vaakainen, Will Cuylle, Matt Rempe, and Alexis Lafreniere, adding assists.
The big plus here is seeing Rempe get on the scoresheet today. However, they failed to execute the game plan to beat the Avalanche.
They'll have to regroup and plan on shutting down, Mikko Rantanen, Sebastian Aho, and the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night.
