The Rangers have never been a team that performs well with expectations and starting on Thursday night, they will play with expectations they haven’t had in 21 years. The post-lockout Rangers have thrived when no one believes in them and when the spotlight is elsewhere, but that will have to change this spring if they are to take the next step in their progression and win in June.
Adam Herman of Blueshirt Banter joined me to talk about how the Rangers quickly built themselves from a mediocre team to an elite one, the expectations and pressure on the Rangers, a review of the Keith Yandle trade and what should worry Rangers fans about the team in the postseason.
