The past few days have been quite an emotional ride for New York Rangers fans. The lead-up to opening day of the free agent signing period provided a constant flow of information that toyed with fans’ psyches and set more than a few nerves on edge. The day itself provided much more of the same, as one move after another across the NHL sent fans emotions spinning.
The conjecture and speculation that precedes the opening of the NHL free agent period can be a bit overwhelming. Quite frankly, one is much better off not paying attention to any of the pre-period banter and Twitter bombardment.
