GDT: #1 - 10/3/13 | New York Rangers @ Phoenix Coyotes | 10:00 PM - MSG

[eco's bones]

I think the Rangers could be a very good team this year but I wouldn't be surprised at all if they get off to a slow start. If we can come out of this road trip with 9 points in 9 games I'll consider it a success.

Those of you working late, use the DVR! Sometimes I intentionally do it for the 7pm starts so that I can blow through the ads.

Looking forward to the game. Can't wait to see the full lineup in action - we haven't seen that once during preseason. Speaking of which, I'm liking the lines that AV is rolling, including BR on the wing on the top line. (If he's on the team - and it's unavoidable he will be for at least the first 20 games or so - it only makes sense that you would try that.)

My one gripe - why, why, WHY can't he swap Boyle and Miller? That would be the ideal lineup with this group of players. I swear to all that's holy, almost every coach in every sport overvalues defense to the detriment of offense due to the simple fact that they feel it is something where they can exert more direct control (whereas offense on the other hand requires trusting the players to actually execute some creativity). Still, it's a new season and a new coach and I like most of the decisions as well as the overall strategy that he seems to be espousing. So... if that's the only complaint I have going in, I guess I should count myself lucky.

Curious to see how the analysis thread plays out. It has promise if people don't muck it up.

I'm strongly concidering setting my alarm clock for this one, since it starts at 4 am in Norway. It might be a long day at work tommorw though. But it's hard to pass up the season opener for something so silly as being awak at work.

LGR Geter done....................

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

So it begins. I wonder if watching streams on the cpu is good enough. Done paying 40 a month for a single channel. I found last nights SOuth Park skewering of cable companies to be hilarious. Does anyone know of a software that lets you record a video being played on your monitor screen? Is that what capture cards do?

 

[nevesis]

[BlueshirtBlitz]

I've been uber busy with school and work over the past two months that I haven't kept up at all with pre-season and whatnot.

That being said, a 10:00 start tonight is absolutely perfect because I have class until 8:30. So excited to watch a FULL season of hockey. Let's go Rangers!

 

[16 To Stanley*]

No worries, we'll have no problem scoring less .

Anyways, this Phoenix game looks like it could be the easiest one for a while. Start the season off strong, boys!

LGR!

Touche!
