Counting Chickens
Over the off-season I saw plenty of bold predictions for the Rangers this year…playoffs, first in the east and even a few Stanley Cup champions. But this week many fans and commentators came quickly back to earth with the announcement that Bure would have surgery on his twice injured right knee.
The injury and the reaction afterwards underscores just how fragile the Rangers playoff hopes are. With little proven depth on the wings or scoring in general, the Rangers once again enter the NHL season with more questions that a whole season of “Who wants to be a millionaire”.
