[Jester9881]

7:00pm on 'MSG+++9 El Noche'

Almost a week solid of Islander hockey and it doesn't feel like punishment. We should be dancing in the streets (in light of last night, trying to keep it going)

So who's in charge of getting Celine cued up if we win?

Celine should go up, win or lose

Rags have played 2 games. And it seems NYI played 20. Weird schedule

I believe that it is the responsibility of the NHL team to arrange pre-season games, so its possible our franchise prioritized having as many as possible this year. We always have an arrangement of some kind with Philly

I could be wrong on this but I do believe you are correct I think it's up to the individual teams to try come up with a schedule how they want it. Some teams want it front heavy, others spread out and still others might want a more back heavy schedule.

I personally like front heavy myself because it allows you to evaluate players, then spend a week practicing/drills when you cut the roster

it especially helps when we have a new coach who is looking to evaluate everyone

Barzal wearing an A tonight

Jenkins and Wilde sent back to OHL (Durandeau sent back as well)

 

[DonLou13]

Does anyone know where I can grab cheap tickets to tonight's game? Stubhub is listed them as $45 each. Kind of pricey for a preseason game no?

 

[Thrasymachus]

Jenkins and Wilde sent back to OHL (Durandeau sent back as well)

Best place for them. Hopefully they can help Saginaw’s resurgence (overseen in part by our own onetime netminder Chris Osgood)

 

[seafoam]

I’m in the left corner of the zone they shoot in twice. Hopefully they’re a few PPs and I get a front row seat for Barzalmania.

Box office prices are $63 and $75 for tonight so consider $45 on stubub to be a bargain.

 

[seafoam]

I paid $65 through Stubhub when you consider fees. I also didn’t want to sit more than 10 rows back though.

Place is going to be packed with ranger fans

I love that for years this has been a thing. Don't stop.

I think Wilde has a big year in the OHL.

Yup, it’s going to feel like a Rangers home game.

I don’t understand why there’s so many ranger fans in Connecticut. Did that many Whake fans make the jump to the rangers? Or is it the fact that western Connecticut boarders Ny?

 

[islesfan3913]

We should get a bit of an idea tonight of what the team will be this year. Except for Gionta, Sislo, and Wotherspoon, and some switching around on the lines and defensive pairings, this is essentially what we’ll look like on opening night imo. I fully expect Bellows to make the team and wouldn’t be shocked to see Toews in there either. I get the feeling management knows this will be a growing season, so getting our younger guys some experience in a low preassure season would be beneficial.

Your second sentence nailed it. Fairfield County is loaded with Rags fans.

A lot of people in Fairfield county work in the city.

Anyone north of that either converted to Bruins fans or started following the Rangers because the Wolf Pack (whom had more success than the Sound Tigers in the last decade).
