Trying To Figure Out Confusing Team
by Jess Rubenstein
Given how so many of the Ranger players pointed to Eric Lindros as the key to the Ranger’s season one has to wonder how losing him for 2-4 weeks is going to impact on the team’s playoff hopes. As it is I for one didn’t think it was right or fair for his teammates to point to Lindros and proclaim him as the on-ice leader. I felt then as I do now that Lindros could have a great season but it would not guarantee that the rest of the team would be a winner. Some of my associates have gone so far as to view those proclamations as an early bird rush to make Lindros the scapegoat if the team doesn’t do well.
