Anyone else think the greatest innovation to come to hockey would be an effective flu vaccination?

Apparently Pete Rogers, our head equipment man, two of our assisant trainers, and Coach Peterson are all also under the weather...

Theraflu, keep non-essential personnel away from the players and hand sanitizer and handwashing.

[Pattypred]

Could the flu be a possible reason for the stupid little mistakes and head in a very, very dark place while play is going on?

I wonder.

Only 465 tickets remaining tonight...

That just makes me want us to win the game so much more.

it'd be nice if the boys gave them a reason to buy some more tickets with their play

[Top 6 Spaling]

My feelings exactly...

[predfan24]

I'm optimistic today. I think coming home after struggling for awhile in front of a packed house this could be the game that the team identifies as a game to make a stand and turn things around. We need some good vibes with the team right now. Let's do it boys!

[smitty10]

I think Goc will have a big game tonight. He has been great this year.

[SLake]

Gaborik is not playing for New York due to the flu, but Michal Roszival is returning to the lineup tonight.

Rinne is starting in nets for the Predators tonight.

[I Will Son]

If we get a 1st period goal I will go crazy!

[SLake]

Rangers dressing 11 forwards and 7 defensemen tonight. Boogaard is scratched, so thankfully no immediate need for Belak.

[I Will Son]

WILSON!!! Thats a hustle goal! HELLZZ YA

[worstfaceoffmanever]

FREE WILLY!

[Liquidfire3240]

Good job Willy!
Snazzy whiff by the Ranger D-man and Wilson buries it.

[Fortheloveofthegame]

I know it is just the start, but Klein looking good! Nice low shot on net, with a chance for forwards to get the rebound.....also good on PK

[kivaerijo]

any streams?

[Fortheloveofthegame]

Interesting. Two assists given on the first Preds goal! Early Christmas presents I guess.

[I Will Son]

Thank You TOOTOO!!! I hate Avery with a passion

[ThirdManIn]

Haha Tootoo made Avery look like the ***** he is. I love it
