Are Rangers and Knicks fans panicking about playoffs? See their reactions on social media
Just a few days ago, it felt like the Knicks and Rangers couldn't lose a game.
My, how times have changed.
New York's once red-hot playoff teams have cooled down quite a bit, and each now find themselves embroiled in a playoff series in which they once controlled.
The Rangers couldn't close out the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday night, losing 4-1 in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series at Madison Square Garden. The Rangers, who took the first three games of the series, now have to travel back to Carolina for Game 6 on Thursday night.
The Knicks return home to The Garden on Tuesday night after dropping Games 3 and 4 to the Indiana Pacers − Sunday afternoon's loss a complete blowout. The Knicks were ahead, 2-0, in the Eastern Conference semifinals, but now must win Tuesday to regain control of the series.
Here's how fans are reacting to what's happening on social media:
Remember when the Knicks & Rangers were both up 2-0 and all we were talking about was that it felt like 1994 again….. #NYR #NewYorkForever pic.twitter.com/ulht3VwyDA

Tough 24 hours for New York. Knicks lose by 50. Rangers are in the process of gagging a 3-0 series lead. And the Mets blow a 2 run lead in the 9th. The poverty never stops in that city

I quit New York sports. Last year, I went to therapy because of the Yankees. I had acute stress & complex PTSD cuz we didn’t make it to the playoffs. This year, the Knicks & Rangers have effectively raised my blood pressure. The Giants make me numb.
See you all tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/uznXSHldWE— SHEAL (@sheal) May 14, 2024
Indescribably worries about the New York Rangers, who claim to be a hockey team

New York:
Knicks (2-2) — L2
Rangers (3-2) — L2
