In the aftermath of their dramatic performance in the outdoor Winter Classic on New Year’s Day at Citi Field, the Blueshirts returned to playing hockey indoors with a dud of a performance, an empty-net abetted 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks on Wednesday night at the Garden.
It was a very quick reminder of how good feelings can be so fleeting in this league, especially when fueled by mistakes.
“I saw one team playing hockey and the other chasing the whole night,” captain Ryan McDonagh said. “It’s really disappointing. We know we are coming off a big emotional win and a big stage, but we’re almost at the halfway point of the season where we need to start playing with some consistency. We didn’t give ourselves a chance.”
