quiz, I understand your frustration, but if you are looking for this team to become competitive overnight, you are going to have a long season. Many Ranger fans I know on another forum you are aware of have the same outlook.
They just don't have the patience that JD said in his press conference, when he told Ranger Fans to be patient, this is a work in progress and will not happen over night.
If you want an example I will give you some. This Rangers Rebuild, which has just started, and is only 6 games into the season, is now in the same boat, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Edmonton Oilers were in 3 years ago, and it took those 3 years of patience to get to where they are now, a top team in the NHL.
And I might add, it took those three years despite the fact that both these teams had more than one number one overall pick on their team. Something the Rangers do not have.
There is no way that this Ranger team, right now is going to be what many Ranger fans have no patience. to wait for this season.
Rangers have one of the youngest teams in the NHL today. New players, new lines and linemates, which Coach Quinn is still trying to find out what his lines will be. He can't depend on 1 line with Mika, Panarin, or Buch. He knows he needs all 4 lines to be successful.
Forwards and D combos.
They will get better going forward, but if many have no patience after 6 games, you are in for a long season.
For years Ranger fans, were screaming for young players and not over the hill stars to win it now.
Well we all got what we wanted, but many have no patience to see it through.
Again, quiz I respect your views and your knowledge of the game, but I have no problem, with the Rangers now, I am not expecting Miricles, and I think they are going about it the right way,
They have the right coach and GM, and President.
Look at this, the 2 teams that were fighting for the Cup Last season were built by the Rangers GM Gorton ( Boston) and St Louis, who was built by J D.
Hang in there my friend, watch it grow. It's a work in progress.
