Budaj is far from a terrible goalie. I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to stand on his head...That being said, can gaborik and richards show up on the scoreboard already?
I guess I'll be watching this game on mute. I can NOT stand the duo of Emerick and Olcyzk. Pierre McGuire I can handle, the other two I can not.
Hopefully they're not doing the game and it's at least Dave Strader doing play by play..
I honestly don't mind Doc and Edzo. I don't especially like Pierre but he doesn't bother me too much, either... I think it's actually nice to get a change of announcers once in a while, but it's weird we have two back to back.
P.S., I was mistaken about it being the first -- I think we had one or two exclusive games in the past (last one I recall was on Versus vs. the Caps)

Well we had the Emerick-Olczyk duo for the Winter Classic too. I've just never, ever liked Emerick calling Rangers' games. To me he will always be the Devils announcer. I just get a weird vibe from him when he calls our games. I think there's been some anti-Rangers bias.
Should be a good test. For whatever reason the Habs always give us fits, hopefully we can work out a way to win. Need to bring the same energy as against the leafs.
Also, the tope two lines need to create more chances than they have lately

Erm, I'd really, really like for them to exclusively call our last two playoff series this season.
LGR! Finally we have a game on NBCSN. It's weird we have two in a row..

Let's make it a shut down sweep of these two wonderful, storied franchises. Really shove how good this team is right into the faces of the two biggest media markets in hockey.
This is the game where our top guys have to get back on track offensively. The rest of the guys have to do exactly what they did to the Leafs: slow them down and don't give them any space to operate. The Canadiens, lucky as the NHL is to have them, tend to shoot high on Henke. He's improved that part of his game, but that's something he's probably keeping an eye on.
3-1, Rangers win. Callahan, Gaborik, Anisimov with goals. Richards with a couple of assists. Callahan and Girardi each with a nice, clean, throttling hit on Gomez.
