Results in the preseason don’t really matter, and we don’t necessarily focus on it. What we do focus on is process, and how the Rangers look overall, which unfortunately seems to match their results thus far. They’ve looked good in spurts, but it’s going to be a rough start for the Rangers as they adjust to a new system. Unfortunately, that adjustment and learning curve will take some time.
Generally speaking, we like to use Thanksgiving as our “turning point” date. It’s usually 15-20 games into the season, and it’s when we get a good idea of what the Rangers will be.
