Mike Keenan is in that rare position where his criticism holds weight. It comes off as a lot more than simple frustration or armchair quarterbacking that fans and many in the media are known for.
Look no further than alternate captain Brad Richards as the main reason why the Rangers' power play has fizzled. His overall game has disintegrated during the finals.
