2 in a row.

New winning streak starts NOW!

Good test to see if that Dallas game was a fluke or not

any word on marcus johansson yet?

any word on marcus johansson yet?

He's having his hearing today, that's all the news as of now. Next 5 out of 7 games are division games, it would great to gain some ground back in the Metro...

Zipay also noted he hasn't seen Etem on the ice. Not sure if he hasn't come out yet, or...

Kreider benched to protect their trade asset. Drouin incoming!

 

[Irishguy42]

Not sure if trade, or trying to sneak through waivers, or...

 

[Cassano]

Pretty good news for the Rangers. He always has a great game vs. them.

 

[Irishguy42]

I think if the Rangers were trying to put Etem on waivers, it would have been announced 15 minutes ago...

I smell a trade.

Hank is wearing new pads in this picture (note the blue on the sides).

 

[Lame Lambert]

This is the only time I root for you guys. Please kick the **** out of these losers.

 

[Captain Lindy]

Ah, shoot, I forgot it was an afternoon game. I want revenge in the worst way.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

What a sports day tomorrow is gonna be!

Rangers at 7 PM out time, always a good thing.

And then NFL playoffs!

 

[Captain Lindy]

This is the only time I root for you guys. Please kick the **** out of these losers.

We had 'em last game but let up. I think they'll be hungry for this one, I hope anyway.

 

[PromNite]

Caps are too hot. Not liking our chances.

 

[RangerFan23]

Unless the mysterious trade is Etem for Ovechkin and Backstrom, not having a good feeling heading into this one...

Strange. Isles and Rangers will be battling for position all season.

You see your team in the division race? Neither of our clubs are.

 

[Irishguy42]

I think we'll be fine. We did great against them last time up until we decided to play flat-footed. If they play 60 minutes, the Rangers should be fine tomorrow. I don't expect a blowout like the last two games between the two teams.

I agree with this line of thinking. Our boys will be hungry.

 

[Captain Lindy]

It'll be a meaningful win if we manage to pull it off. It'll be a good indication that the team's 'slump' was a result of a hectic schedule and they needed an easier routine. It's understandable with all the hockey they've played over the last few seasons. I pray I'm right.

No I don't see either of us in the division race, but I hate the Caps so much that I don't really care. Any day that the Caps lose is a good day for me.

Dammit, didn't realize this is a 1:00 game. Home inspection pls.
