The New York Rangers’ 2024–25 NHL season marked a significant decline from their earlier achievements. Following the triumph of securing the Presidents’ Trophy and advancing to the Eastern Conference Final in the 2023–24 season, the anticipation was palpable. The team kicked off the season with an encouraging 12-4-1 record but quickly fell into a troubling 4-15-0 slump, resulting in a lack of consistency as the season progressed.

Defensive shortcomings were evident, leading to a 7-3 defeat against the Carolina Hurricanes that effectively knocked them out of playoff contention. This represents just the fourth instance in the history of the NHL where a team that won the Presidents’ Trophy failed to qualify for the playoffs in the subsequent season. The team’s struggles were compounded by controversies such as the benching of rookies Brennan Othmann and Gabe Perreault, alongside lackluster performances from key players like Mika Zibanejad. Nevertheless, the array of controversies continued to unfold.

On the r/Rangers subreddit, u/LafreniereSoftball shared a report from Mollie Walker, a beat reporter covering the team, who noted, “Calvin de Haan walked past us as he was about to get on the ice and commented on how it’s all finally over. He said something to the effect of, ‘How about the way I’ve been treated here? It’s f***ed.’ We asked if he wanted to talk, he said yes and that he would be ‘very transparent.'”

Calvin de Haan has recently found himself at the center of a controversy involving the New York Rangers. Following his acquisition from the Colorado Avalanche on March 1, 2025, de Haan voiced his dissatisfaction regarding the way he was treated by the Rangers organization. He found himself sidelined for numerous games and openly criticized the team’s management, hinting at revealing what he viewed as unfair treatment.

Moreover, his remarks have ignited conversations regarding the team’s internal dynamics and may influence the Rangers’ standing with both players and fans. Additionally, the Rangers beat reporter’s revelation made the whole club a laughingstock among Reddit users.

This is the New York Rangers’ downfall

Just a year ago, the New York Rangers were basking in success at the pinnacle of the NHL, but now, their decline is striking. Heartbreaking! Utterly heartbreaking. With a sense of exasperation, this fan remarked, “Disappointing but not surprising. This is a poor managed team from the top down. Also de Haan got to watch an absolute shit show defensively for 2 months from the press box. LOL f*** this team.” This supporter expresses their views on how to improve the team, asserting, “This organization needs public humiliation in order to change. I hope CDH tears everyone apart.”

In a direct fashion, this supporter stated, “Clown org.” It’s clear that the Rangers supporters are dissatisfied with the current state of the team. What are the current statistics for them? As the regular season approaches its conclusion with only two games left, the Rangers find themselves at a record of 37-36-7, accumulating a total of 81 points after 80 games. It seems that the chances of making the playoffs were always slim for them, and now, the situation has only become more contentious with the current controversies surrounding the team.

Another admirer commented, “Wow. Go off brother, let them hear it.” Interestingly, this Washington Capitals supporter highlighted a particular detail, expressing, “As a caps fan I am sorry this happened to a great franchise, but I can also say. Peter destroyed our young talent for 2 years I am so glad we got in out quicker than usual!!” This year has left fans feeling utterly disheartened, and only time will reveal whether the Rangers can recover from their dismal performance in the upcoming season.
