The Rangers, by the way, are still terribly flawed under Tortorella, who refuses to explain how he can sit out his best goal scorer during a shootout his team needed to win. They don?t have the offensive players to play his system, they aren?t good enough on defense to survive his system, and even though they are way, way better than they were a month ago?partly because they have added Avery, Antropov and Morris (two of whom may be departing July 1), partly because of the coach?I could see them making the playoffs and getting swept in ugly fashion, or going out in five in the first round, because they can?t stop anybody consistently and they can?t score consistently and their power play isn?t good enough to be called dreadful.
Well, the next couple of games ought to be an interesting little test, if not a season-making/breaking portion of the schedule, if not a complete exposure of this team?s legitimacy of lack thereof.
