What do these similarities and differences mean for the Rangers?

Look, it’s still extremely early in the season. Some of these similarities and differences will stay and some will go. But, the bottom line is if New York can establish more differences from last year that elevate the team while keeping the good that got them playing meaningful late regular season games last year. If they can combine these, they can be playing more than meaningful late season games.

We’ll see what’s similar and different as the season goes on.
