Description: Marc "Moose" Malusis doesn't pull any punches in this scathing review of the New York Rangers' current state. Comparing the team to the "boring" late-90s era, Moose slams GM Chris Drury for constructing a lineup top-heavy with AHL-level grinders and "novelty" fourth-liners who can’t put the puck in the net. The debate gets nuclear when Malusis discusses the unthinkable: trading Artemi Panarin. With the "cup window" slammed shut and the team looking "lost" under first-year head coach Sullivan, Moose questions if the Rangers are headed for a dumpster fire season. From the failure to score on the power play to the "overpassing" epidemic, this is a raw look at a team that has lost its edge and its identity.
