The Rangers had better have patched all of their wounds from the Shark attack because they are back in action against Mmmmaaaarrrttttyyyy tonight at the Garden. Luckily for us (and everyone else), the game will be on MSG at 7 (booo Versus).
Where We Are: Coming off of two days rest where the team hopefully soulsearched and learned from their many mistakes during the savage beating on Monday. But still 7-2-0 and second in the Atlantic.
Where They Are: Third in the Atlantic, with a 4-3-0 record. Three of those wins came on the road. Their last game was their first and only win at home, a 2-0 sleeper over Carolina that got Mmmmaaaarrrttttyyyy closer to another record he doesn't deserve.
Who To Watch For: Jamie Langenbrunner had the game-winner in that win and always loves to hate the Rangers. Parise and Zajac are still around, as is Rob Niedermayer- the guy who scored the early goal that set off the Torts Time Out Tirade when we played them last. Still no Patrick Elias, who is out recovering from groin surgery.
What To Watch For: Sean Avery vs. Fatso. Sean Avery vs. minor leaguer David Clarkson. Everything else is secondary.
What We'll (Hopefully) See: Sean work his magic on Mmmmaaaarrrttttyyyy. A considerably better effort than Monday. Chris Higgins score a goal. Wade Redden to start swinging his purse around - with all of the money the Rangers are giving him, it should have some weight behind it.

Just a quick correction: Elias is out from groin surgery, not back.
My bad, I will edit ... thanks dude ...
I cannot seem to make a decision on this, in my fantasy league I can either start Brain Rolston or Ryan Callahan tonight in the utility spot and need some advise. Since I can't decide I'll do whatever, any advise? I'm inclined to pick Cally because he's a Ranger but there $50 on the line damn it and this league is cut throat.....
cally... hands down
One rule for my fantasy team: no Devils.
Choosing between Callahan and Rolston is tough, but I would choose to play Callahan instead of Rolston just by a hair.
"Sean Avery vs. Fatso. Sean Avery vs. minor leaguer David Clarkson. Everything else is secondary."
Well said.
Callahan - for the shots on net and +/-
Just saw this on rotowire
"Both Gaborik and Ryan Callahan(notes) were sent home from practice on Wednesday. No word if the illness will keep Gaborik out of any game action"
Anyone else know anything about Callahan's status? Last time he was a ? before the game he played awesome so I know he has it in him.
Dan - I'm the same way: no Devils and no Islanders.
