Derek, you have serious issues Im afraid to say....see me as a Sabres fan, I have set my goals realistically going forward, just making the playoffs is the Holy Grail, so Im at ease....I dont expect things like the Stanley Cup, thats for others to enjoy...
Now the Rangers havent made the playoffs for 6 years I know, but you know darn well sooner or later with a decent GM and coach, theyll be Cup contenders again....and you should expect that...and you still do with this team for whatever reason...They have flaws right now, should they make the playoffs? Perhaps based on names and talent yes, but there are holes...
Just enjoy the games, it seems to me your pleasue with the Rangers is to take displeasure with them, just my 2 cents
