The Rangers are 11-4-1, fifth overall in the NHL with a .719 points percentage that equates to a 118-point season that would break the franchise record of 114 points established last season.
Yet no one is happy with the start of the season.
The players aren’t. The head coach doesn’t seem to be much of the time, though I don’t believe Peter Laviolette is anywhere close to as discouraged as the general population. The media isn’t doing cartwheels, and neither are the customers.
Well, maybe goaltending coach Jeff Malcom might be an exception with Igor Shesterkin and Jonathan Quick combining for the third-best goals against average in the league at 2.36 and the NHL’s best save percentage at .925.
