Rangers have the most fragile psyche of any team in the history of sports.
yup....history of this team / organization
I think it's more a clear lack of upper-end talent and a defense corps that has gone from a great asset to a clear liability in one season.
i agree...but how do you account for the fragile psyche of the 2014 team that blew so many leads in the SCF? ....blowing so many chances in OT after blowing the lead too?
we way not have had the best upper end talent in the league that year but it was definitely good/capable enough and that was going along with the great D and goal tending we had as well. imho we had 4 fully capable lines we could roll.....the only thing we lacked , per usual , was a clear #1 big time center but that is something a lot of teams lack.
that team....like many past ranger teams was fragile too....yes you could argue that they came back from 3-1 against pitt but when it mattered most in the final they choked away many leads and potential OT winning chances
I mean hell if you really look at 94 there were so many times we almost choked the final...lol and that was Messier and the 94 team we are talking about FFS!
