Good morning, LSB. Kennedi Landry writes about new manager Skip Schumaker’s role in fixing the Rangers’ cruddy offense. Shawn McFarland takes a look at the Rangers’ closer situation heading into the offseason. And 2023 Texas Rangers World Series champion pitcher Max Scherzer is still delightfully pyscho. That’s about all there is this morning. Happy Friday.

We’re two weeks into the season, and it’s too early. Too early for panic, too early for trades, too early for rankings, too early for conclusions. In fact, it’s too early for everything but a Friday mailbag that will distract you from doing work you weren’t going to do anyway. Let’s do this.

It’s Lightning vs. Red Wings tonight at Little Caesars Arena. The Wings come into the game with a three-game win streak. It appears that John Gibson will get a shot at redemption. Really hope the team can play like they have been the last few games. Gibson needs to get his legs under him. It’s a long season and Cam Talbot is 38 years old.
For what it’s worth, Mason Appleton skated with Dylan Larkin and Emmitt Finnie at practice on Thursday. A sign that perhaps Lucas Raymond is still heali...

That mandate tracks with recent behavior dating to last season, as the front office has been canvassing for young defenseme...
