It’s been two months since my last post, I don’t think I’ve ever gone that long. I know I didn’t post anything in August but I didn’t realize I’ve been away since the middle of July. All this month I’ve been meaning to put an update up and I never get to it. Been busy.

I’ll start getting back in the habit with a New York Rangers update. I don’t have much to say so, this will be easy.

The regular season starts in less than a month and I cannot wait. Pre-season starts 2 weeks before that, and I’ll tune in for all 6 games. I have high hopes for the changes that have been made over the off-season. I think the start of the season will be way better than last season, which was a disaster so that’s not saying much.

A few pieces were moved around in the last few weeks, new guys from the draft. It’s real inside stuff and I won’t pretend I know what I’m talking about. Truth is, no one knows the starting lineup yet. That’s going to be determined in development camp with the rookies right now. Then the whole team hits the ice soon for training camp and pre-season is where the ice chips settle for opening night and beyond. There’s a lot to figure out and smart people being paid to do that are going to figure it out in time.

I have high hopes for coach Gallant, I’m expecting energized veteran players right from the start so I think there is a big upswing to look forward to. We’ll see what shape last year’s rookies are in now too. I know they’re chomping at the bit to prove themselves further and if this team can jell together, watch out.
