History At MSG: The Rangers Are The First Team In NHL History To Be Shut Out In Their First 3 Home Games Of The Season

Welcome to the World's Most Famous Arena...where the home team doesn't do a single thing! 

I almost feel sorry for Rangers fans at this point...almost. If they weren't the most arrogant fanbase in hockey and actually admitted that their team stinks I would maybe have some sympathy. But Rangers fans strut around like they're the cock of the walk, when they are a historically pathetic franchise. It boils down to this: The Rangers won a grand total of ZERO Cups in the "Original 6" era, 1942-1967. Zero from the expansion era, 1967-1993. Zero from 1995-present. 3 of their 4 Cups were in 1928, 1933, and 1940. So long ago it wasn't even considered the Original 6 era of the NHL. 1 Cup in 85 years. Basically the Cleveland Browns of hockey.

But that's neither here nor there. This blog isn't about the past, it's about the present. About how the Rangers just set a new record, which is hard to do. Becoming the first team in NHL history to be shut out in their first 3 home games is not an easy feat. Not the first time it's happened to the Rangers...the first time it has happened to anyone. At some point you just gotta tip your cap to the depths of patheticness a franchise can reach. Will it ever get lower than issuing a statement that Tom Wilson was mean to their players?

Probably impossible to get lower than that, but boy are they trying. Just another year of Rangers hockey.
