I am not optimistic. I don't believe any issues were fixed last year as Drury is still in charge.

after watching some of the pre-season, it looks like we failed to address any of the problems last year, and Quick (who looks terribly slow at this juncture) is huge downgrade from Halak. I'm not optimistic at all about the upcoming season (which means they'll probably do great, lol). I'll be here all season to bitch about it though... Lets just enjoy the ride, and have a or three

Not much changed in the offseason so don't see much different happening this season unless Laviolette is some miracle worker.
We're a soft, dumb, mistaken prone, grit-lacking, defense liable team with very, very few exceptions.
I have about as much faith in this team as I did my Yankees when their season started and in our Giants after that first game debacle.
On the Rangers the whole team can go except for Shesterkin. Just like everyone on the Giants can go except for Gano. Literally the only two players that do their job with any kind of consistency on our teams.
So outlook... Grim. Just like it has been for every one of my teams. I don't see things changing for any of them anytime soon.

They looked stellar. Nice start.

They looked really good the first two periods but started taking penalties in the 3rd. Managed to handle it though.
Well seems Laviolette is stressing defense more as we seemed to handle barffalo's offense easily enough through two.
We know we can score our problem has always been our zone and leaning way too much on Igor. Only the first game but I liked what I saw.
And I'll take a 5-1 win over the slugs every time.

the looked really good against a questionable team in Buffalo. That first goal on the pass off the rebound was well done! Gives me some hope for the year. Lets see where we are after 10 games...Igor was very sharp.

There you go... That's the Rangers team we have come to know over the past decade or so.
Play one game well play the next game like a bunch of ****ing morons.
Pathetic. Back to the norm. Laviolette can't help idiocy. Game 2 of an 82 game season but in 2 short days this team shows us all once again that it cannot ever be relied on to have any consistency at all. Game 1 everyone does their job and plays well. Game 2 it's like we can't skate, can't pass, can't do anything right.
Defense was a priority in game 1 in game 2 nope, back to full retard mode. This should have been an easy 2 points but nothing is easy with this team.

They fought it off but they have been short handed a bunch. They have played better but being short handed that much saps energy. Let’s see if they can pull it out.

Win is a win but meh...
Sums up my feelings overall. Not impressed with tonight and I don't know what happened to Miller but holy hell he looks lost out there.
Maybe Arizona is a hell of a lot better than they're getting credit for because they looked like the faster and much more aggressive team for a good portion of the game.

Beat the Devils in Jersey. They are a young team coming up. Rangers played well I thought. More structure like the first game. Having Lindy is a big deal. Also didn’t go in the shitter after the linesman broke up Panarins break away followed by handing AZ a 5-3. Maybe we didn’t watch the same game.

Numerous penalties, not getting a shot on goal in the 2nd period until almost 12 minutes had passed, almost 3 times as many give aways as Arizona, almost twice as many missed shots. Doesn't sound like a well-played game to me. I didn't say they played terrible like game 2 but played well? We're going to agree to disagree. They did enough to eek out a win. And Igor was the best player, which is the case too many times. So, like I said, not impressed.

Islanders fan, checking in on my blue sweater friends.
How you guys feeling on the season? Is it a "Stanley Cup or bust" type year? Or more of a "Lets just get to the dance" type year?
EDIT: Just read some replies... Kinda answered that question.

They could miss the playoffs with their inconsistency and I wouldn’t be surprised. Everyone here seems pretty sour, to me that’s a good sign.

We never know which Rangers team is showing up each night. Of course we all hope the one that wins it all this year but we’ll see. The only consistent aspect of this team is their inconsistency other than Igor who does his job and then some. But he can’t do it all and this team leans on him way too much in my opinion

If we got past the Devils we had a legit shot. But we didn’t get past the Devils.
