The Rangers have a new boss-of-all-bosses, Quentin Dolan. YAY, Q! For starters, The Maven does declare that – in principle – I like Quentin. 

The Quentin I met as a kid in Brooklyn was Quentin Road in Flatbush – a very likeable street, I might add. 

I haven't met the Rangers new Quentin but I'm confident that he'll dedicate himself to markedly improving his team.

But what about the millions of Rangers fans currently sitting in the corners sulking about their doleful squad? 

Rookie Boss Quentin should be thinking about his ultra-faithful infantry because the troops need massive help – in the head.

Let's face it, a solid shrink may be needed to turn their nightmares into dreams of a fifth Stanley Cup.

With that in mind, the Maven has imported Hannah (Herself) Beam from her office in Shrinksville-On-The-Hudson.

Yessiree, Bob, Hard-Hearted-Hannah will cure the malady called "Chronic Rangers Depression?'"

Dr. Beam points out that there are five "Stages" to her therapy.

"For starters," Dr. Beam says, "Stage One is 'Denial.' These book misguided fanatics believe the baloney: 'They're just retooling.' Or, 'It's a long season.' Or, the supreme salami, 'We'll get hot in March.'"

According to Dr. Beam, "Denial is a helluva drug, but so is hope, and you've been maintaining both for two years."

Getting more serious, the puck shrink says Stage Two is Anger. "This," she explains, "is the fun stage where you yell at your tv like it personally wronged you; which, to be fair, it kind of did. No matter, anger is healthy. Scream into a pillow. Better still, write a strongly-worded post on Ranger fan Twitter."
