Adam Fox Voices Off On The New York Rangers Power-Play Woes
Following the Rangers game on Tuesday night, Adam Fox voiced his honest opinion on the teams struggling power-play as he openly admitted that it has cost the Rangers a few games now.
Adam Fox: «Power plays are difference-makers. They get one, we don't. That's the difference right there, especially early in the game, when you can get the lead. That team gets a lead, they're hard to play against. But for us, I think even if you're not scoring, you want to get momentum. We've done that on a few power plays, but then similar to five-on-five, we get a little frustrated and we start doing things differently.»
«Special teams is a huge factor. Look at our history - we've won games with special teams. I think it's definitely cost us a few games this year.»

He's certainly not wrong, as the Rangers clearly need a change or something to help them start capitalizing on the power-play.
