The New York Rangers are more than a quarter of the way through their season and they continue to send shockwaves through the rest of the NHL. The Blueshirts, who were supposedly in the midst of a rebuild, are currently playing high-level hockey while possessing the third spot in the Metropolitan Division standings.
In my opinion, one of New York’s biggest early-season bright spots has been Neal Pionk.
I’ve thought that the youngster’s play has been impressive all season long. However, there are also plenty of people that would disagree with my assessment, as Pionk has emerged as the most hotly debated player among the Garden Faithful.
