New York Rangers<\/a> great and Sarah Palin’s boyfriend Ron Duguay has blamed the team’s latest loss to the Los Angeles<\/a> Kings on their pride night celebration at Madison Square Garden in an extraordinary social media outburst.<\/p>\n

The Rangers lost 4-1 to the Kings at MSG on Monday on another tough night in what has been a miserable season – they comfortably have the worst record in the NHL on 28-31.<\/p>\n

But while the team keep losing this season, it was ‘bad mojo’ from hosting pride night that caused their latest defeat, according to Duguay.<\/p>\n

‘I didn’t want to say it before the game but I saw this coming,’ he wrote on X. ‘Down 4\u20131 right after the singing National anthem to (the Pride Flag) to a small group, bad idea bad mojo.<\/p>\n

‘I don\u2019t blame all of the Rangers organization. Its only a select few college brain washed up, woked kids pushing their agenda within the organization.<\/p>\n

‘I believe, at least 70% of the fans tonight wanted no part of it at all at a Rangers game. Just wanted a family night out. Husband, wife and kids. That\u2019s what the Rangers need to celebrate. Ranger leadership needs to show some courage and stop this.’<\/p>\n

Sarah Palin’s partner Ron Duguay slammed his New York Rangers team celebrating gay pride<\/p>\n

The Rangers drafted Duguay in 1977, kickstarting what would be a 22-year hockey career<\/p>\n

The 68-year-old has since deleted his post, yet retweeted his comments being reported elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And he also hit out at the team when they announced the game would be celebrating gay pride, too.<\/p>\n

‘Have you not been reading & watching the news???’ he wrote in response to the team’s announcement. ‘What if a situation was to occur at the Garden? What then?<\/p>\n

‘How can a professional, none political entity like a sports team sanction this stuff on families especially with kids??? Most people don\u2019t want to celebrate a group’s sexual lifestyle at a game.<\/p>\n

‘Can you just keep it to a nice family night out celebrating & enjoying their sports team?’<\/p>\n

Duguay’s comments come amid his ongoing battle with stage four colon cancer. Earlier in March, he spoke exclusively to Daily Mail about his fight for his health.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Duguay has been fighting cancer for over a year but only recently went public with his diagnosis. He has lost\u00a0his appendix and gallbladder through treatment.<\/p>\n

He has been dating Palin since 2022 but the couple have largely kept their relationship out of the public eye.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Duguay’s comments have come shortly after going public with his stage 4 cancer battle<\/p>\n

The Rangers lost 4-1 to the Los Angeles Kings in what has been a miserable season so far<\/p>\n

At the game itself, there was a pride flag on the ice before the start of the game while pride night pouches were given out to the first 10,000 fans who made it to the arena.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Duguay started his hockey career with the Rangers, who drafted him in 1977 and he retired in 1999.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He then worked on MSG network covering the team from 2007 to 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Rangers, meanwhile, play fierce rivals New Jersey on Wednesday night – the Devils are also struggling badly this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
