After a truly baffling 2024-25 season saw them miss the dance, the air in the Big Apple is thick with a mixture of cautious optimism and genuine, stomach-churning worry. The “dysfunction” that submarined last year’s campaign is (thankfully) not expected to repeat – a new bench boss in Mike Sullivan should take care of that. But
