Even if you have never been there, New York holds a special place in everyone’s heart. This is not true of the New York Rangers, however, which as a team are admittedly pretty bad. We said it!

Fan favorites at present are Zuccarello and Zibanejad, scoring 53 and 47 points, respectively. They are trailed shortly behind by Hayes and Buchnevich at 44 and 43 points, the ordering of which also reflects their number of assists. As a team, they scored a total of 77 points this season, which is crap, and played a total of 82 games. They won 34 and lost 39, making them below average all around.
Why Fans Love Them
Because they live in New York. There is not much to like at the moment about the New York Rangers.
