Pre-Game Talk: Rangers at Islanders first game back after ASB.

[startainfection*]

Since teams are local it'll be easier to reschedule. Good feeling this thing might be moved.

since teams are local there will be absolutely no way the rags won't be able to get to the coliseum, the game won't be rescheduled

Staple:

@StapeNewsday: There's been no word from either team or NHL yet about Tuesday. Won't be anything until tomorrow at the earliest.

Staple tweeted players from both teams will start streaming into the Marriott tomorrow. I doubt it gets cancelled. If the Isles are classy though they give people vouchers for other games if it's really not navigable.

if the game isn't cancelled, people will turn out for this one. regardless of how much snow we get.

If it is as bad as it is supposed to be, there won't much there. There aren't any Montreal Canadians fans staying at the Marriott to bring up attendance numbers.

I feel like people are hungry for good hockey around here. If I had tickets to this game and it wasn't cancelled, I would do my best to get there. I went to games in some pretty bad conditions when they sucked. I'm sure we all have.

 

[Chardo]

If they play, this won't be one of those 300 people blizzard crowds. People will do their best to get there.

If I could afford the tickets I would go he ll or high water

tickets on stub hub are dropping in price. cheapest seats are about $22 cheaper than they were this morning, for similar seats. I'm waiting to see what happens with the weather, and if its feasible to drive 55 miles to the game, before i buy tickets.

#SnowGate: Rangers are now practicing at Coliseum tomorrow w/ game Tuesday at Islanders. Lookin' like a Long Island Sleepover for #NYR

can't wait for the excuses.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

I'm betting the game happens.

 

[Islanders1932]

I have tickets and if the game is being played I will be there. My truck will make it.

 

[stranger34]

sounds like they are going to make it happen, but i don't get why... just play it wednesday night...

 

[13th Floor]

I really hope it's not a deadened crowd because of snow. I want the arena to be rocking, and it sucks that we might not get that.

 

[Drcrush]

It´s all Snow's fault!

"The boards at the Coliseum are different so we couldn't have a proper practice!"

If i was a tix holder, I'd be hoping for a reschedule.

If I wasn't a tix holder, but wanted to go, Id be eyeing Stubhub for "$20 seats if you come and get them"

Since, I'm neither, I'm hoping for the game to take place, my power not to go out, and an Isles 6-0 victory.

Eff lundquist.

I would prefer that they not play a back-to-back if at all possible. We play the Bruins on Thursday.

If not Tues or Wed, I think Marc 19th is the other possible date.
Taking a quick glance at schedules, that looks to be only date they could play where one team would not be playing three nights in a row (which I believe is against CBA anyway).

My guess would be game on Wednesday with merchandise or concession vouchers for those in attendance.
