[KotsyJr]

Will be attending tomorrow... first game of the year. Will need to wear my good luck Jagr jersey.

[Oh Thats Nashty]

Original six teams. Playoff implications. Should be a great game.

[I Eat Crow]

Cammalleri the Ranger Killer is out with injury.

The Rangers take this one convincingly; 4-1

[NYRangers88]

Lets Go Rangers!!!

I'll be there for this one.

Hope you're right - because the Habs are playing their best hockey of the season.
Their first line scores every game , their goalies are awesome & their PP is lethal. This is going to be a very tough game to win. LGR , hoping Avery can play 2 good games in a row.

[Puckface NYR*]

Big win by the Devs tonight, now the Rangers need to keep there game up and take advantage, with a win tomm and a boston loss we are back in 8th!

[silverfish]

Keep the streak alive!

LETS GO RANGERS!

[Wayne Simmonds*]

hank with another big game at home against the canadiens. Lundqvist is 6-1-0 with a 1.86 GAA and a shutout in his last seven home starts versus Montreal and Halak is 1-3-0 with a 4.11 GAA in four starts at MSG.

3-1. victory

[hpNYR]

Anyone notice Tom Pyatt on the 2nd line?

Yes he was

[nyr2k2]

Yep, Pyatt has 1 goal and 3 assists in 29 games. Can't BELIEVE me let him go!

[Fitzy]

He has 1 goal in 29 games, im not altogether jealous.

Small defensive forwards with no offense are not hard to find.

I haven't seen how he has played to make any assumptions. His scoring isn't high but that doesn't necessarily mean he hasn't been playing good. After all, his game is 2-way w/ grit.

[CheeseDogs]

thank god Cammalleri is hurt. i hate his glitch shots. i think he cheats

Yup. "Hockey Central" also known as "Three or Four Idiots Giggling and Talking" is on at 7 and then the puck drops around 7:36 PM EST.

[MaximusT]

another must win! LETS GO RANGERS

[Swagelin]

Camalleri's hurt so its a perfect oppurtunity for us to win. I wouldn't be surprised to see gomez take runs at lunqvist
