The NYR Facts Of Life: Intro

Sadly the offseason is under way for the Rangers but at least this time it comes after a (all-too-fast) trip to the playoffs. While the battle for the Cup continues we have the time for some self-examination and, so, that is just what we will do. Tomorrow will see the revival of the The Facts Of Life from last year; feel free to check out the initial incarnation's master post here. For each Ranger to make an appearance this season we will take the good, we will take the bad and take them both and see what we have.

Unlike last year, this time around it will be done in reverse number order so we build to the heart of the lineup instead of ending with some one-game wonders and Matt Gilroy. Hobey's Facts will be up tomorrow and hopefully I'll be able to get one new guy up each day. Hopefully.
