Right now, all eyes are on the Rangers.
The team, which traded Jacob Trouba last week, is experiencing terrible times: the Rangers have lost eight of their last ten games and now things are no longer working.
In a market where there is pressure like in New York, this is not acceptable. Plus, the Rangers have everything they need to be dominant…
The problem that is becoming common is the lack of effort from the players.
The stars of the club are singled out for the club’s failures because they are not always there to win recently and among the lot, there is Mika Zibanejad who is crucified in the public square.
The Swede, who is recognized as a good goal scorer, has scored five goals in 27 games since the start of the season.
But there may be a reason for the maverick’s failures in the eyes of Larry Brooks, who covers the team’s activities for the New York Post.
The journalist was on the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast… And he said that Zibanejad is “very sensitive.”
I think a lot of the criticism has gone to Zibanejad’s head. He is very sensitive.
Far too sensitive to what others say about him. –Larry Brooks
Of course, if Mika Zibanejad is playing the victim right now, it can’t help.
We all have our own way of reacting when we are criticized / insulted and that is why social networks can become dangerous for an athlete who does not perform up to his talent… But Zibanejad and the Rangers will not move forward if they continue to keep their heads down.
-I talked about it at the start of the article, but we must not rule out the fact that there is a lot of pressure in New York.
Expectations are high year after year because the club has the resources to win, and it is normal to see that people are getting impatient seeing the club’s disappointing performance of late.
Just like in Montreal, they are passionate, the supporters in New York.
That said, it’s up to Zibanejad to raise his head and put in the necessary effort as one of the big leaders on the Rangers.
His talent has not disappeared even though he is 31 years old: he is in a bad situation and he must change something in his approach. Otherwise, he will continue to sink and the fans will continue to make his life difficult.
In burst
– How many victories?
– Happy holiday!
– That promises.
– Anyway :
– Yeah. It makes the difference!
– I like the energy.
