Story summary

New York's Rangers team faced significant challenges in 2026, suffering from an unusually high number of player injuries early in the season, which affected their performance negatively. Sports columnist Mike Vaccaro emphasizes how this issue is especially disheartening given that it happened just as the postseason was approaching for many teams. He contrasts the Rangers' struggles with the Yankees, who also had a disappointing end to their playoff run recently. Vaccaro expresses frustration over the ongoing labor disputes between team owners and players, noting that these negotiations detract from enjoying the games. The author suggests that enduring an injury-plagued season is worse than one cut short by poor performance during the playoffs.
