| Wow! 2.8 is pretty mediocre. 2.4 is quite awful. 2.0 is absolutely abysmal.
1.6? Seriously... that just doesn't seem possible. You'd think the only way
that could happen is if it's entirely deliberate. What a start!!!

Not a Ranger fan here but I'll put my 2 cents in. Many times
throughout the years, the Rangers were suppose to be a good to great
team and weren't. They always had enough talent to get the job done.
It's similiar to the George Steinbrenner syndrom were the money is
spent over and above to get the best talent on the team to achieve the
goal to win it all. For years in the late 90's, the Yankees got their
wishes and won a bunch but it hasn't happened in how many years now.
The Rangers are similiar and you better thank your lucky stars that
Mark Messier was able to do what he did in 1994 or the drought would
be 67 years now. Sather went out and over spent and the team just has
no chemisty. They will start scoring and become better, but that's not
how you build a winner. It's not the coaches fault. I actually like
your coach. Jagr and Shanahan are old. They have some good young
players. Drury and Gomez were not great players before they went to
NY, they were very good players. They are not going to become
superstars. Don't be surprised if Sather is canned in the near future.
I'd say about (70%) of the people from the TV channels to magazines to
color commentators have picked the Rangers to win the cup. I don't see
what they saw. |

It's the intangibles.

Well... Gomez has been scoring a bit much lately. I mean 2 goals in 10
games? That's like, what, 16 goals for the season? That would be one of his
all time best seasons. Surely, he's got to slow down from that torrid pace.
There are 4 players on the team with 1 point and 8 players with 0 points.
They're good lads. >> Stay informed about: 1.6 goals per game |

Good thing that they get a fresh start come December.

I'm saying they score their 20th goal on Saturday, against the
Devils. Three games from now. >> Stay informed about: 1.6 goals per game |

20th - 30th. The Devils are having a firesale on Goals Against right
now. That goal the Rangers scored 57 seconds in last time. Expect
aboot a half dozen like that. And a pp kill that's 30th in the league
right now should add another 4 or so.
Now I do realize that it would help if some of those goals could be
applied to other games, but think aboot it, that's greedy. >> Stay informed about: 1.6 goals per game |

Not a baseball fan here. But I have to say... I always find it rather odd
how often the Rangers are compared to the Yankees for whatever reason or
using whatever rationalization. I'd give my left nut for the Rangers to get
those kind of results. The Yankees are and have been superior to the Rangers
in every conceivable way. Any comparison is tremendous insult to the
Yankees. >> Stay informed about: 1.6 goals per game |

The Baltimore Orioles comparison is more apt. >> Stay informed about: 1.6 goals per game |
