Another day, another game where we are prepared to be let down. It’s a shame it’s come to this. Watching the Rangers lose during the rebuild wasn’t nearly as bad as watching the Rangers lose in their window to win. There hasn’t been much to look forward to the last 6 weeks, and tonight is no different. We don’t know which Rangers team will show up. The one that won the President’s Trophy, or this one.
Much like Chicago, Buffalo should be a soft landing spot for the Rangers, but they continue to dig themselves a deeper hole. Buffalo can score, and the team defense is atrocious right now. This doesn’t bode well for the Blueshirts as they look to give us fans some glimmer of hope for this season.
