The Rangers know what to expect.
“We all know what time of year this is and what that brings. It’s the same every season,” Ryan Strome told The Post in advance of Tuesday’s second-half opener at the Garden against the Flyers. “There’s going to be all sorts of talk about the [Feb. 25] trade deadline, that’s going to be all over the media and all the fans will be talking about it, and rightfully so.
“It’s exciting stuff and it’s fun for people to speculate. We all get that. But I can tell you this, and what people who aren’t in the room might not realize, but on every team that I’ve ever been on, whether it’s a rebuilding team or a Cup contender, players come in here with pride every day and to try to win every game.
