Larry Brooks at The New York Post thinks its time to panic..."If the Blueshirts do indeed look back, they will find almost everyone in the East gaining on them. Somehow this lost weekend in Florida has all but negated the impact of the 10-0-3 run they'd constructed in the 34 days prior to Friday's loss to the Panthers.
Somehow, the sixth-place Rangers are only four points ahead of the ninth-place Sabres, though they do hold a game in hand on Buffalo. Somehow, the Rangers are fighting for their playoff lives following last night's 3-0, empty-net-abetted defeat here to the Lightning.
Somehow? Here's how: The power play, even more pathetic last night than usual while going 0-for-3, is operating without purpose, confidence or competent play from the point, yet coach Tom Renney refuses to adjust his personnel."
...not sure if its time to panic but there is cause for concern. And I have to completely disagree that this weekend negated the impact of the 10-0-3 run. Without that run they'd be 4 or more points out of the playoffs, so no that impact is still felt.
