The Kitchener Rangers: Are they truly heartbreakers," or is something else brewing? Their recent comeback wins against Owen Sound and Guelph are impressive, no doubt. But are they sustainable? Is this grit and resilience a sign of a championship-caliber team, or are they simply riding a wave of momentum? What happens when they face tougher competition consistently? Can a never-say-die attitude overcome skill deficits in the long run? The Rangers’ coach emphasizes a shift-by-shift focus, but how realistic is this mentality over a grueling OHL season? Is it truly sustainable, or will the pressure eventually crack them? Furthermore, their success against Guelph raises questions. Guelph’s bottom-dwelling record is deceptive, given their injury woes. How much of Kitchener's success is due to Guelph's weakened state? How will they fare against consistently healthy, top-tier teams? The upcoming Teddy Bear Toss game against Brantford and former Rangers coach Jay McKee will be a key test. This adds another layer of intrigue, a narrative of familiarity and rivalry.
