Lets Go Rangers!

[nyr2k2]

LGR.

Six points in three games to open the season!

[I Am Chariot]

nice gdt

LETS GO RANGERS

[blue2noise]

6-1 Otl

[ftyutin51]

My first post in a loooong time...

I CANNOT wait for Zherdev to succeed in Ranger blue! I love players like him (next up Gaborik please? I've been pining for him for years!), even though they're high-risk. I cannot wait for Naslund to love a Rangers team like he did with the Canucks... I really do believe him, Z and Reds will succeed. I am optimistic.

Also, lets not forget we will be hearing something like this tonight... "Ladies and gentlemen, your captain, Chris Druuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuury!"

3-2 RANGERS

Dubinsky
Naslund
Rozsival

GO RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!:y o:


ok... back to school now...

According to Weinman and Zipay, yes.

And the game is live on Canal+!

[FutureGM97]

lets win the first game at home. The Garden is going to be rocking!

LETS GO RANGERS

[Melrose_Jr.]

Weinman has Sjostrom on the 4th line, FWIW. Renney says he'll make a decision on Prucha "this morning".

Travesty.

Anyways, go Rangers. The Hawks are pretty young and talented, but they're a team the Rangers should beat...

[Oh Thats Nashty]

Hopefully they can be more efficient on the PP. This team is capable of having a 23-24% powerplay rate.

Let's Go Rangers!!!

[KreiMeARiver]

yeah that's pretty weird....hey give it a shot

And and Espn360 (if you pay) and on http://www.justin.tv/rangers05fan if you can't stand C+ and their Swedish homer commentary.

Please, most beloved eastern team, take this one and erase the bad memories from yesterday.

[Vaheh]

6 - 1 Otl

[KreiMeARiver]

6-1 Overtime Loss? How is that possible? lol

[Celestial Black]

I think this is going to be a real good game.

Hopefully it involves trading the poor b*****d.........just remove the salary for picks and don't sign Shanny...............even get a 7th Dman to sit around, whatever

I hope Sjostrom scores,hah

Didn't you know, in New York hockey is different, if you don't score 50 goals in your first 2 games you are chased out of town.

Prucha, Dawes, Kalinin are already in the dog house. 2 games in 2 wins, and they are already being chased out of town.

Meanwhile, guys like Orr and Voros, who will score a measly 5 goals combined, are SAVIORS!



with that said...

LET'S GO RANGERS!!!!
