Somewhere on their flight from New York to Milan, don’t you just hope that the coach and captain of the New York Rangers had a long talk? And not just about the immediate task at hand, trying to help the United States win a gold medal at the Milan-Cortina Olympics. But more importantly, Mike Sullivan and J.T. Miller must discuss how to team up and somehow keep the Rangers afloat once they return from Italy.
That’s because right now, not even rock bottom is too low for these last-place Rangers (22-29-6).
You can see how much all of this wears on Sullivan and Miller.
