The New York Rangers' recent lack of form can not only be attributed to just on-field performances but also to internal issues within the organization. A recent report published on louda-dot-com, a subsidiary of USA Today, on Dec. 19, highlighted the team's internal problems, stemming from certain directives from the higher-ups.
The report describes an incident in which a PR employee was fired by the MSG Co., the owners of the New York Rangers and their affiliates because they went on a dinner with one of the players ahead of a media event in the offseason.
The firing was also followed by a letter that was signed by Knicks president Leon Rose and MSG COO Jamaal Lesane and Rangers General Manager Chris Drury that asked for proper behavior from its employees. It also stated that any leave of absence had to be mandated by either of the Vice Presidents of the organizations.
