QUOTES TO NOTE You definitely want to make them pay for it. You want to score and make the penalty count, so Mac’s not taking that hit for nothing. - Ryan Callahan We played a hard 60 minutes. I think it was good hockey game. We talked about it after the second period, we have to be strong. And we were. We deserved those two points. - Marian Gaborik Well, we played hard. It was a game of momentum. Momentum shifted back and forth. I thought both teams gave up probably more chances than both wanted to. We found a way to win a hockey game. - John Tortorella

Heads Up: The GDT is a work in progress.

[Net Front Presence]

Get the two points. Enjoy the week off.

Dubinsky with the GWG.

[PromNite]

Skate hard, shoot often and we win this one.

[NickyMaz]

I got a feeling Biron will get the start for this one. I'm predicting a 4-1 win with goals by Gaborik and Dubinsky.

[Draft Guru]

Would be nice for Richie to bury one so he can go into the break feeling a bit more relaxed

[CaptainCally24]

buff and kane are out...we should take this game LGR!

Not to mention that WPG played tonight too and lost to Carolina.

I see the game is on MSG2 also. Guess the ****** Knicks take priority over the first place Rangers playing a home game. Doesn't make a difference to me since I have Cablevision and will get the game in HD anyway but it sucks for everyone else. Whichever team is home that night should get the main network.

[NYRSchrute217]

Probably will be Biron, let's get the 2 points. 66 points into the break sounds awfully nice.

[Fitzy]

Oh is that why we get a week off? Because of the all star game?

This game personifies a beatable team, game in which we need to not loosen up right before a layoff.

[Pizza]

Get the points. Just get the points.

A week off to rest the dings will be good for the boys.

[Rangerfan4life90]

Give Biron the start. Hank played a lot last week and he deserves to rest for a week and a half.

I'll also be going to this game with my Dad

LGR!!!

[Parker McDonald]

LGR! I'll be at this game so hopefully Lundqvist starts. Why would we start Biron? We have a week off... No need to start him.

[AJRanger]

I'd be disappointed if this didn't end in a regulation win, the Jets really aren't much of a threat without Buff and Kane. In previous seasons these are the kinds of games the Rangers wouldn't win, but this season...

[darko]

Lets make it 2 wins in a row for the first time in 2 weeks.

LGR

I have DirecTV and get MSG2 in HD.

Lundqvist doesn't have a week off. He's gonna be bombarded by media for 4 days in Ottawa this weekend. I would play Biron against a slumping Winnipeg team that played last night and is missing arguably their two best players.

Gotta take 2 points tonight to stay ahead of the pack in the Atlantic. NO EXCUSES!

[UAGoalieGuy]

I'd like to see Biron get that start. Pretty much gives Lundqvist a week off, except for facing a dozen or so shots in the skills competition and playing a period in the ASG. Have Lundqvist play against the Debbies next Tuesday fresh.

I'm predicting a 4 - 2 win. Gaborik, Richards, Hagelin, and Dubinsky.

[Pass art by Brassard]

I am predicting a win, but no goals for Gaborik. I think Hagelin gets a goal and Anisimov gets 2.

3-0 win with a shutout for Biron

[Vitto79]

yea i'm fine with Biron since Hank has the All Star game..........should win since Peg is hurt

I hope so... Artie needs to start contributing.

[Primetime Powerplay]

Lets get another W here. LGR!

[CHS]

Brad Richards on the third line. I guess it was only a matter of time the way he's been playing but I'd rather let Anisimov have a shot with Dubinsky and Callahan than Boyle. Have we seen the pack line together this season?

[Glennsoe]

4-1...

AA with 2 and Feds with 2...

[blue425]

A chance to have 66 points on January 24th?
Am I dreaming?

Got get 'em.

[Dorado*]

Can firstrow live sports be streamed on iPhone/iPad ?

[Dorado*]

Wade Richards has been sucking but playing him with stone hands twins is no way to elevate his game .
