Where We Are: Which team are we? The one that lost to the worst team in the NHL 4-0 on Sunday or the one that came back from a two goal deficit to beat a divisional rival last night?
Where They Are: They are coming off of back to back wins, the last being a surprisingly tight affair where they blew a three goal lead. Hey, at least it wasn't five ... but it was against Atlanta so they shows that their squad is lacking in concentration of late - especially when they score on their own goal (poor guy).Who To Watch For: Steve Begin. No, seriously. Begin skates hard and causes chaos and the Ranger defense is highly susceptible to players of his ilk.
What To Watch For: With no Mike Komisarek, the Blueshirts will have an easier time going to the net, especially smaller guys like Petr Prucha and Chris Drury.
What We'll (Hopefully) See: A nice pregame ceremony, followed by the Rangers playing motivated hockey. Saku Koivu is no Cindy Crosby so they can take more risks without the thought that the other team will e able to capitalize quickly. And no dumb penalties!! Alex Kovalev is having a sub-par season but their power play is still pretty damn good so the Rangers have to play smart.
