Vincent Trocheck's latest quote hits a nerve after another mess by the New York Rangers: Fans want him gone

Wednesday night's 8-4 collapse at Madison Square Garden was the kind that drains a building fast. Ottawa scored four times in the first period, and the Rangers were chasing the game before their legs even looked warm.

The final was loud for more than the score. Jonathan Quick gave up six goals on 17 shots before he got the hook, and the Rangers have now bled 30 goals during this five-game skid.

Afterward, Trocheck tried to put a bow on it, saying the effort is there, but guys are trying to do too much and slipping out of position. He also pointed to execution, and that's where a lot of fans rolled their eyes.

It's not that the words are wrong, it's that they're starting to sound like copy and paste. Rangers supporters have heard «too much,» «details,» and «process» for weeks, and the standings keep getting uglier anyway.

Just like many fans, I'm tired of hearing about «trying» when the scoreboard keeps screaming «not good enough.»

However, Trocheck isn't dodging responsibility, and that's the fair part to acknowledge. He's a veteran center, a tone-setter, and his honesty is usually one of the few things that doesn't feel staged.

But the Rangers are making the same tactical mistakes, and they're killing themselves. Their breakouts get frantic, the weak-side winger flies early, and Ottawa turned those rushed plays into odd-man looks all night.

When Trocheck says they're out of position, you can see it on the second goal and the third goal, and the fifth one too. The slot gets soft, the gaps widen, and suddenly the goalie is facing east-west passes he can't read.
