Patrick Kane under fire despite Rangers’ Game 1 win

Veteran experience was the difference maker for the New York Rangers in the first game of the playoffs series against the young New Jersey Devils. The Blue Shirts got the 5-1 and took the lead in the Round 1 series.

Though veterans like Chris Kreider scored two power-play goals and trade deadline acquisition Vladimir Tarasenko tallied one as well, the focus has shifted to another acquisition that failed to impress last night. On social media, fans are calling out Patrick Kane, who was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks to get a chance at another championship, and the veteran forward has been trending on Twitter since last night.

Though Kane recorded an assist in the victory, fans have started to argue with one another on his performance and the expectation linked to the three-time Stanley Cup champion.
