I had the privilege of attending the New York Rangers home opener as their 100th season officially gets underway. As we've already covered, the Blueshirts picked up right where they left by not showing up for most of the game. I can report first hand that the loudest cheers during the 60 minutes of gameplay were for Aaron Judge after he hit the game-tying homerun against the Blue Jays in Game 3 of the ALDS.
It was a frustrating and familiar effort, but before we go eulogizing the year that could've been on Broadway, let's remind ourselves that this is just the first few steps in what will be a marathon race and this team has stumbled over the starting line before, only to recover in remarkable fashion.
