Funny, b/c it's usually exactly the opposite like in this case. That firecrotch pundit over at ESPN predicts a 12th place Rangers finish. see http://espn.go.com/nhl/preview2010/team/_/name/nyr<br /><br />His thesis is entirely flawed. Don't understand how the hockey media consensus has the Rangers finishing 3-4 spots below last year when they've made moves that certainly bolstered their O, have a more experienced youthful D poised to make strides, and (cross your fingers) a sure-handed backup in Biron. Their logic is nothing short of mind-boggling.<br /><br />I was compelled to make a biting comment below the article.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192993049608150239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526234141396194760.post-48690944900181772132010-10-05T09:32:46.505-04:002010-10-05T09:32:46.505-04:00I think the reaction is more about "why"...I think the reaction is more about "why" they put the rangers in that position...

I realize most fans on this blog are drinking the kool-aid (and rightfully so) but you can't really blame ESPN for keeping the Rangers right around where they finished last year. This is still a very young, inexperienced team with a swiss cheese defense. Sorry to be so cynical this morning, but I don't think 22 is as crazy as you're making it out to be.Anthony Peretorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393299611858513336noreply@blogger.com
