I'm surprised at how many Rangers fans are surprised by the loss to the icelanders.
Really? You didn't see that coming?
We are spent after that Cup run, and it is going to take some time to regroup and adjust to major roster changes.
Meanwhile, the Isles have added excellent PP personnel, and are gertting damn good goal tending. Will it last? Dunno, but it seems more likely this year than any other recent years.
This could make for some very exciting playoff hockey next spring with the new format. And a refreshed rivalry heading into Brooklyn.
When you pretty much play 2 solid periods of hockey, you don't expect the team to get blown out the way that they did. That's the surprise, the collapse.
