This whole "ranger fans are spoiled and they're winning a lot so there's nothing to complain about" meme got old last year and it's still old this year
Nobody said there is nothing to complain about. There will always be flaws in every team. Its when complaining is the only thing we do on here and were 1st place in the NHL.
If we won the Stanley Cup, people would complain that we took too many games to do it.
If we swept the SCF, people would complain about how our margin of victory was not large enough.
a portion of HFNYR seem to always find the bad in the good. In your words "it got old last year, and it's still old this year"
That being said Its still so early in the year that the quality of our play is less important than the points in the standings. Our quality of play can/will improve while the points on the board will not go away. Besides, why would we want to peak in November? We're not the Islanders.
Each of the last two years we have been mediocre to bad in both our play and in the standings at this point in the season. Now, even though I admit we have yet to see this teams potential, we've actually had a great start. There is no reason to believe that the Rangers won't be one of the best teams in the 2nd half of the season. That has been their M.O. for the past 2 seasons under AV. The only difference this year is that they don't have a gigantic hole to crawl out of.
Its a good time to be a ranger fan.
