Turn out the lights the party's over for the New York Rangers. Last night told me everything I needed to know about this team and why they cannot win a championship this year. Immaturity is a huge factor here for many reasons. Number one, in a game that could mean the series they came out flatter than Kate Hudson's tits. No energy, no sense of urgency, nothing. They came out like dog shit and were down 3-0 before they could even blink. ON THEIR HOME ICE! Game 5 at home against your rival in the conference finals in a do or die game that could potentially mean the series and you come out flat. That's immaturity. As you can see no one is afraid of you just because you're the one seed. That's immaturity. Having to be punched in the face multiple times before you decide to start playing, complete immaturity. And then when you battle all the way back, have the Devils on the ropes and then take your foot off the gas. The Devils were shell shocked, you had them on the ropes, one more goal and they would have given up, and then you let them off the ropes and they knocked you the fuck out. Carl Hagelin not staying with your man on defense who ended up scoring the winning goal. Just because you've done absolutely nothing on offense the entire postseason, you dog it back on D? That's immaturity. All you needed to know about this team was said last night. If they want to win a championship they need 26 Ryan Callahans. If they had 26 of him they would be the best team in hockey. But they're immature, and until they all follow the lead of their captain, they can't win the Stanley Cup.
