Managing Expectations

This is something that New York Rangers? fans must learn to do prior to the start of the regular season because if they do not, they could end up being disappointed in the long run.

I am not saying this to be downer. Instead, I want Rangers? fans to take a realistic approach to the season because while the team does look solid on paper, it does not necessarily mean that it will translate over well onto the ice.

For starters, fans need to be realistic about Brad Richards. Yes, he is going to produce and yes, he is going to play in all situations but the team did not bring him in to be Marian Gaborik?s savior. Rather, the team got him to be their No. 1 center for the foreseeable future.

Secondly, fans cannot want to boo Gaborik if he does not get going early on in the season. With Gaborik, fans need to practice patience because in the end, this could end up being a very big season for the third-year Blueshirt.
