If You – and I do mean YOU – believe that your beloved Blueshirts are spinning their wheels or have a first-class seat on The Treadmill To Oblivion, think again.
Repeat after me:
1. Hope is just around the corner.
2. Love is just around the corner.
Let's start at the top. In only a matter of days Vincent (Vinnie The Dip) Trocheck will be back in the New York lineup, doing what he does best – leading the team to victory. (Sometimes.)
The Rangers Propaganda Ministry, conveniently located in the general manager's office, would have us believe that J.T. Miller is the genuine Yankee-Doodle-Ipsy-Pipsy leader of the Blueshirts.
But the genuine Rangers' engine belongs to Trocheck and he's just around the corner for a return to full-time duty.
As for why The Maven says "Love Is Just Around The Corner," it is because once Vinnie The Dip gets his playing act together you're gonna love a Trocheck-revived Rangers.
Interestingly, The Hockey News Yearbook has Trocheck listed as the club's third center.
Is Sean Avery Really On To Something About The Blueshirts?
Nobody watches the <a href="https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-rangers">Rangers</a> more closely than Sean Avery. Nobody cares more about the Rangers than Sean Avery.
I've got news for THN's editors; guys, you've got it upside down. It should read: 1.Trocheck; 2. J.T. Miller, 3. Mika Zibanejad.
Let's check back on December first and we'll see who's right. My dough is on Trocheck!
