I ****ing hate being the one team that gets picked to watch the cup banner go up... We got this bull **** with Pittsburgh to start the '09-'10 season too.
For once we don't have an ABSURDLY hard end to the season. Pittsburgh twice and Philly once is the worst of it.
Buffalo, Toronto twice, Winnipeg, Columbus? Yes please.

8 Roadgames to begin a season is a ********n´ joke in my eyes!
I know that MSG is still "under construction", but damn...
Well it's not like it's the schedule maker's fault.
Looking at the schedule (more specifically the 8 game road trip), it's not really that difficult of a road trip, IMO.
The four easy wins there, IMO, are Buffalo, Tampa, Carolina, and Ottawa. The rest we can also beat.

It's like the NHL did it, because they didn't get that match up during the Finals.

Ummmm, 15 games in 30 days during March, 9 of which are on the road?? Doesn't matter which teams you are playing when your schedule looks like that. April doesn't get any better with 7 games in 13 days, 4 on the road.
That is a total leading up to the playoffs of 22 games over a period of 43 days, more than half of which are on the road. They better be way ahead again come the end of February.
This schedule is awful. What pisses me off is that once again we visit Washington EARLY and on weekdays. So November and December.
I notice Pittsburgh also visits Washington early and on weekdays, again...which makes me wonder if good old dishonest Bettman is being bribed from Ted not to have New York or Pittsburgh in late season weekends so he can artificially suppress their fans from attending.
I miss the old days when the Rangers played more games than everyone else in the first half and then less in the 2nd half. Now it seems like the NHL tries to shove as many games as they can in March.
Oh, you miss the days when they missed the play-offs for 7 straight years? During that stretch, that is how the schedule was always set up in those days.

Glad we are in Montreal on Saturdays. Made the trip last year in November, and it was awesome. Will definitely do that again and maybe Toronto as well since it's on a Saturday. I think every hockey fan has to witness a game in Montreal, just amazing.
Any Rangers schedule that doesn't include home pre-season games is a good one in my book. That's an extra ~$1,500 in my pocket. Hard to complain about that.
