QUOTES TO NOTE I felt pretty bad on that powerplay goal, I was screening Lundqvist a little bit there. I wanted to try to make it up for him and I am glad I could with the game winner in overtime. - Ryan McDonagh We try and support each other out there, even with some new guys back there. And we need that because we're going to have guys out (injured) once in a while. Right now we have two good defensemen out and we need guys to step up and right now we are getting that. And we played a pretty simple road game and played really well. - Henrik Lundqvist You feel excited about getting the two points. More importantly I thought we, through most of the game, played better as a team. - John Tortorella

Heads Up: The GDT is a work in progress.

[NYRangers88]

Three in a row!! Lets get it done boys!!

[Callahan4C]

Let's go boys ... 3 in a row! 5-2.... gabby with 2, dubi, anisimov gets one and boyle

[Wraparounds]

Heave-ho, three in a row!

[BlueshirtBlitz]

We should beat the Oilers.

I wanna see Marty get a start. Hank's had a heavy workload the past two games.

[Machinehead]

I'm going on HFBoards sabbatical. Need to straighten things out.

I leave you with a resounding LGR! and may the force be with you all.

See you in a few weeks.

[Maaxse]

Should be an easy victory.

[Jabroni1994]

LGR!

I think we win this and go 3 in a row.

Gaborik, Dubinsky, Anisimov goals.

[MorrisWanchuk]

a corey potter sighting !

lgr

[NYRSchrute217]

3 in a row, hopefully.

[Pizza]

When I see some of the comments I've seen above about easy victories and such, I begin to think it won't be so easy.

[AJBergy86]

Time to get the dubya. Time to separate the med from the boys

[nyr2k2]

Three straight. I'm feeling good. Can't underestimate Renney's boys though. LGR.

[FromTheSide]

When was the last time we actually had a chance to sweep the western canada trip? Yeah i think it's been awhile

[NYRFAN218]

RNH may be scratched tonight for Gagner which is interesting. Would definitely get Biron a start here also.

I was hoping for a split of the trip so we've already met my expectations. Anything else is a bonus. Extremely pleased with the start of the season considering the team is missing two of it's top defensemen, haven't played a home game, and have played games in three different countries.

Let's get two more tonight, LGR!

[Lucbourdon]

Is lund starting this?

Won't know until tomorrow. Could go either way IMO.

[CheeseDogs]

this will be my first rangers game since that game in 1997 when the rangers bet vancouver last time. really hope lundqvist starts so i get to see him play. rangers dont come to these parts of the woods very often

No such thing. They are a decent young team.

I can see Biron going tommorow.

LGR

[Jonathan.]

Let's murderdeathkill them.

[Parker McDonald]

LGR! Since when was Potter a defenseman?

[AJBergy86]

Haha Cory Potter in their top4 their offense is very talented but their defense is bad and I expect the rangers to be able to get offense

[Parker McDonald]

Hopefully someone can **** up Smid.

Just out of curiosity, why Smid?

Because of that whole situation last year. Avery didn't suckerpunch him, when he and others claimed he did (even Christensen, who wasn't even looking and who I hoped was cut off the team after that).
