It was on the road at home.

It's, you know, look, they have their chances, right?

I think that you're seeing them drive to the slot area.

You're seeing them generate chances off the cycle.

They're forechecking better.

It's all things that are improvements from last year.

But at the end of the day, this team was always going to be somewhat shorthanded offensively because...

you know, sometimes you can take it to the limits of your roster, right?

And you look at how many guys are legitimate goal scorers here.

You have Artemi Panera and you have JT Miller.

Those are both two reliable players.

Mika Zibanejad hasn't been that goal scoring threat over the last couple of seasons.

I think he's already showing, you know, positive signs.

He's shooting the puck more at five on five.

He's getting to the quality areas more.

And I think the goal scoring will come.

And then you go to guys like Will Cooley and Alexi Lafreniere and you're like, OK, solid supporting cast.

But below that, the bottom six doesn't have much scoring talent.

So already you were going to be in this position if you're the Rangers, but with Vincent Churchak injured, it just feels more strained.

And now it just kind of feels like they're cursed.
