I feel like the stronger the opponent, the stronger the Rangers. Not sure if it's a mental thing like oh it's Buffalo, we don't have to try, but if that's the mentality, yikes and it needs to change, now. Any team in the league can beat any other team in the league on any given night...
We played well against BOS, LA, ANA the second time, WSH, PIT, etc, and not so well against FLAx2, BUF, CAR(sort of), WPG, etc. Haven't run the stats to see if there's a correlation, but I'd guess there would be one. Interesting, and also disturbing.
