GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Pat Williams, who ran the front office for four NBA teams — Philadelphia, Chicago, Orlando and Atlanta — once moaned about the difficulty of his job.
“We can’t win at home. We can’t win on the road,” he said. “As general manager, I just can’t figure out where else to play.”
Fortunately for Jeff Gorton, during his first full campaign as Rangers general manager last season, the Blueshirts did win at home and on the road, although in the end, not often enough.
The Rangers collected 101 points, but faltered in the last two months.
