8 PM START.The Knicks are playing the Sixers today at MSG-12:30 start
I hate Saturday night home games
Kevin Weekes has an ankle bruise
Quote:
The news on the injured ankle of Kevin Weekes yesterday was good. An MRI of the joint showed no structural damage, meaning the injury is not serious and the Rangers goaltender is day-to-day
Chris Holt was recalled to backup Henrik Lundqvist
The Rangers returned Chad Wiseman, who struggled Thursday, to Hartford. With Fedor Tyutin returning tonight after missing four straight with a fractured left hand ring finger, Jason Strudwick will move up to wing from defense
Good player moves, and nice to read that Weekes is not that seriously injured. Lets hope the Rangers play well and don't let down their performance just because their playing the Caps. One loss to them this season is enough.

I don't like Studwick as a winger. Didn't see Wiseman last night but I rather have someone natrual there.
I really didnt like how Wiseman played. Took 2 penaltys, should have had a goal but missed a wide open net. He did recover after that, though, and played an OK rest of the game. I'll give credit there.
I read somewhere else that its a sure thing Rucchin is indeed OUT, Struddy will play wing. I like Struddy playing wing once and a while, adds a good phyiscal presence, and he doesnt look out of place at all doing it.
Lets finish this run off. 5 in a row before the long break

True I agree, but id like to see Immonen called up. He should have gotten called up ahead of Wiseman. Does Immonen have to play a certain amount of games or Rangers owe his europe team a fine??? I think its 40 games or so.
It seems to me that Chad had been sitting around for a week not playing. And here comes his shot. I only watched the 1st period but I don't think that he looked that bad. He seemed to be able to keep up without a problem.
No doubt Renney will have the boys up for some revenge against the Caps after that horrible game they played a few weeks ago. Expecting a big game from our boys tonight.
I love early GDT's =)
I'm looking forward to seeing Strudwick on the wing. I hope he can do some good work against the boards with Ortmeyer and Moore if that's who they play him with.
I did not think of Strudwick at wing. I still think there is a good chance Rucchin will play.
At this point I'd prefer to hold him out for one more game and give his back a full 7-10 days rest from when we last played to when he will play again.
To me, Rucchin is a player that is going to be very important for the Rangers going forward. He's one of those players that provides a calming presense on the ice, on the bench and in the locker room. His value to the Rangers far exceeds what he does on the ice and having a healthy Rucchin is more important than having him back for 1 game.
Let him sit out one more game and come back in Thursday.
