Miller Rant Suggests He Lacks the Stomach for Rangers’ Retool"},"content":{"rendered":"

New York Rangers captain J.T. Miller<\/a> didn\u2019t hold back following another loss, delivering a brutally honest assessment that summed up the mood surrounding the team. It\u2019s the kind of quote that makes you wonder what\u2019s going to happen next with the Rangers, and potentially their leader. <\/p>\n

With three losses in a row and a 2-7-1 record in their last 10 games, it\u2019s getting ugly in New York. \u201cWe\u2019re not getting the results. I\u2019m not at all happy with where we\u2019re at. This f\u2014ing sucks,\u201d Miller said<\/a>. \u201cSorry about my language, but this really sucks. Losing every night, it\u2019s really hard to stay positive. I mean, it\u2019s really hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

The blunt comments came from the Rangers\u2019 captain, a clear sign of just how frustrated things have become as losses continue to pile up. Miller made it clear the current stretch falls well short of the standard expected in the locker room.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is nobody\u2019s standard or what we\u2019re willing to accept within each other, is losing every game it feels like right now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

While frustration is high, Miller was also careful to point out that effort isn\u2019t the issue. Execution and self-inflicted mistakes are the primary reasons the Rangers have struggled to turn hard work into wins. It\u2019s only going to get harder as the team starts moving assets ahead of the NHL Trade Deadline, something management has already publicly stated they intend to do. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s just constant mistakes and shooting ourselves in the foot,\u201d Miller said. \u201cEverybody\u2019s really trying hard. That\u2019s what really sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a market like New York, patience is thin, and expectations are high, especially for a team built to compete rather than simply hang around. The fact that the Rangers are set to go through another attempted retool will weigh on many of the players. It\u2019s clear that Miller is already growing frustrated, and the team hasn\u2019t even moved their big names yet. <\/p>\n

What happens when Artemi Panarin<\/a>, Alexis Lafrienere, Mike Zibanejad, Vincent Trocheck<\/a>, and others are no longer on the roster? The losing will continue and only get worse. Does Miller have the patience for it?<\/p>\n

Miller\u2019s comments show how short his fuse might be. What\u2019s going to happen when this gets worse? <\/p>\n
