I think they might just not be a very good team.

It seems to me that everyone just expects everything to click. I
don't see why that would happen on its own. Major changes need to
happen. It's not a jigsaw puzzle where you put the right lines
together and everything works. Renney has pieces from several
different puzzles.

I don't expect it to click,,,I'm hoping it clicks. Almost 40 years of
being a Rangers fan, I expect very little. :-(

It's still early in the season to be too pessimistic, although things
definitely need to improve. Maybe the players are letting the pre-season
hype go to their heads and actually believing it, without actually
getting out there and doing what needs to be done on the ice to put
themselves in to a play off spot? Something is not right at the moment
anyway, but there is still time to make it. They ARE a good team,
they're just not playing like one.... as usual!

I don't know how you can say that at this time. They are far from a good
team right now. And until they start playing like one they won't be one.
Yes, a little Yogie Berra in me.

Yeah, I didn't mean you. I meant team/media/delusional fans.

I expected much less from this team than what was hyped, but not this
much less. =/

Shanahan-Messier-Drury

Imagine the thick, gooey streams of intangibles that would just burst
all over the arena. They'd finish the season with a combined 15,000
shots, 9 goals and a -72 rating, but imagine the hockey sense they'd
knock into the youngsters whose spots they were taking.

I don't think anything in history could be more intangible than that line.
Even God would have to tip his hat to that level of intangibility.
