Before the start of last season, I wrote a piece about the Rangers having a different feel to them. During the tail end of Alain Vigneault’s tenure and the infancy of the newfound Rangers rebuild, the on ice product was less than exceptional and there was a sense of uncertainty amongst the fan base. Mistakes galore offensively and defensively was the main culprit along with a clubhouse with no leader and no direction.
Once the team began to fully commit to the rebuild, dismiss Vigneault and bring in David Quinn as head coach, you began to see how things started to change.
