“#David Quinn takes some blame for Rangers debacle<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

David Quinn said the Rangers\u2019 effort was an issue in their loss to the Devils on Tuesday, but he isn\u2019t absolving himself while looking for answers.<\/p>\n

A day after his damning assessment of the Rangers\u2019 fourth straight loss, the third-year coach shouldered some of the blame for the 5-2 setback against a team that had not played in more than two weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a coach, you always feel like it\u2019s on you,\u201d Quinn said Wednesday after practice. \u201cIt\u2019s just a sickening, sickening feeling.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, we were all pissed off [Tuesday] night, no one more than I was. You gotta let the dust settle, you gotta corral your emotions here and we\u2019ve got to move past it and make sure that it doesn\u2019t happ<\/a>en again.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rangers have found plenty of ways to lose game<\/a>s early in the season, but Quinn said their effort had never been a problem before Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cLosing can wear on you and I think that might be the case a little bit right now,\u201d Quinn said. \u201cWe don\u2019t have any swagger. We don\u2019t have any confidence to the level that we need to win. But that\u2019s something that we\u2019ve got to find from within.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo yeah, you\u2019re damn right I feel a huge responsibility for it. That\u2019s just coaching, that\u2019s the profession that we\u2019re in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quinn pledged Tuesday night to address the Rangers\u2019 effort before, during and after Wednesday\u2019s practice and again before Thursday\u2019s game against the Flyers \u2014 another team that hasn\u2019t played in 10 days because of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

That did not result in a practice filled with skating laps or sprints, but instead Quinn said he was \u201cencouraged\u201d by the 45-minute session.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood energy, I thought guys had some jump in their step,\u201d center Ryan Strome said. \u201cAt this stage in our season, I think with all the frustration we\u2019ve had and the ups and downs and the way our record is, it\u2019s just a matter of getting ready for the next game and moving on.\u201d<\/p>\n

After sitting out Tuesday\u2019s loss, Artemi Panarin (lower body) and K\u2019Andre Miller (upper body) both returned to practice Wednesday and are expected to be back against the Flyers.<\/p>\n
