What a month for your New York Rangers. Critics and skeptics abound before the start of the season, the Rangers October record has certainly quieted them down. A 5-0 run through western Canada will certainly silence some haters, but it’s more than just wins and losses. The Blueshirts look different this year.
We can call it the system. We can call it the coaching. Even Artemi Panarin’s new hair can be a reason. The defense is humming with structure and controlling the high danger chance trade-off. They are beating bad teams, sure, but good teams do that.
