While they secured a nice win against the Buffalo Sabres to open the season, they then lost to the worst team of last season, the Columbus Blue Jackets, Saturday night.
The expectations, with this level of talent, has always been high. They cannot afford these type of losses this early in the season.
The Rangers can silence some of the doubters with a big win tonight in their home opener, against the Arizona Coyotes, in front of a roaring crowd.
