The New York Rangers are showing signs of strong, structured hockey under new head coach Mike Sullivan, can the strong process lead to results?
Hosts Nick Zararis and Andrew Chelney break down the Rangers first four games of the Mike Sullivan era, highlighting the team's emphasis on clean breakouts, cycle play and minimizing defensive responsibility. The discussion covers Matthew Robertson's surprisingly understated performance in spot-start duty, the bottom six's puck possession but lack of offense, Artemi Panarin's slow start, Mika Zibanejad's new found shooting aggression and the power play's early struggles.
