Mid Term Report Card
by Jim Samuels
Give Glen Sather seventeen months and this is what you get. After four consecutive playoff misses the Rangers general manager has overhauled not only this floundering franchise, but the entire organization. Sather has found a way to add both talent and depth, two things sorely lacking on Broadway during their four year playoff hiatus, while ridding the team of malcontent mercenaries that had become an albatross around the throat of this once proud franchise. The Blueshirts, who reached the halfway mark against the Kings in Los Angeles on Saturday, have transformed from a laughingstock to a hardworking, hard hitting team that actually comes to play each and every night.
