I had toyed with going to this game.... for about a nano-second. I've never been to MSG for a hockey game, but I seriously don't think I could handle it.
So our last place Islanders will take on the struggling Rangers in a mid-week match-up. This could get ugly, or it could be boring.
I love this quote from the Game Preview on the Isles main site:
The Islanders will try to keep the Rangers from getting back on track. Over the past nine games, the Rangers are 1-6-2 and are falling fast in the Eastern Conference standings. Once atop the Eastern Conference, the Rangers are now just five points ahead of ninth-place Carolina.
But the Rangers have won three out of the four games they have played against our hapless Islanders. Let's see if they can make that TWO of FIVE and continue the Rangers downward spiral.
Question at hand is always: Who will be in net? But the question is ALSO; Who will be BEHIND THE BENCH? With the outcry for Renney's head, it would seem plausible that the Rangers could make a coaching change today just before the game. After all, this is an organization that traded Brian Leetch on his birthday... by phone. So, anything is possible.
Look for Live Chat with the Blog Box tonight. Details to be announced on participating sites.
