Honestly, as a Ranger fan since ‘95, I agree. Until this team proves otherwise I also don’t think “they have that dog in them” (besides trouba, trochek, and some of the bottom 6 guys).

Is this a preseason ranking?

I don’t agree but I understand considering how last season ended… but this doesn’t at all feel like the same team even with most of the same players. Just gotta prove it.

I’d understand a bit about his “no dog” thing if he didn’t have the Canes in the top tier and Minny in the tier having it. Neither of those teams are especially known for digging down and grinding out playoff wins—both are perpetual playoff duds that never meet expectation.
And meanwhile the Rangers were underdogs with most of this same team two years ago and gutted out come-from-behind, 7-game series wins against the Pens and Canes.
