Game 7: Rangers vs Kings
The hot Rangers take on the Kings in this 7 PM matchup at the Garden. The Kings are an early surprise, and have won 4 straight. The Rangers might be hotter, as they have 5 straight, and have won the last two in dominating fashion.
The Rangers lineup will be the same, except for Donald Brashear, who is out with “soreness”. Aaron Voros will take his spot on the fourth line.
The Kings are led by Anze Kopitar, who is off to a blazing start, with 10 points already. The Kings goalie is Johnathan Quick, but Carp says that we’ll see backup Erik Ersberg tonight. They have a lot of offensive weapons, and the addition of Rob Scuderi on the blueline has been huge.
This will be a good matchup. Both teams are the surprises of the early going. This will be a nice test for both teams. Treat this as your open thread. Watch the game, discuss, have fun. We had over 80 comments last game, which is amazing. Let’s get more tonight.

Congrats Vaclav, goal 200. What a deflection on the MDZ shot on the PP. Great start. Oh, and Hank just made an incredible save. Woohoo!

Good first period. They are fun to watch. Lots of pressure on the puck. Where is everybody?

Holy schnikees, what a shot and what a release by Gaborik. That was amazing.

Also, Gaborik is a hell of a penalty killer. What a player

Shocked by 5 comments, especially after the 80+ day against the Leaves. They didn’t look great, but as Stan Fischler said: Sign of a huge team; they win against a good team while not playing so well. Cup??????

Six in a row!
Last year, we were waiting for the bottom to fall out. This year, it’s just awesome hype and anticipation.

six in a row feels awesome. i dont think we’re a ‘contender’ just yet but during the offseason i got sick of the ignorant and lazy ‘expert’ predictions and all the slating Gaborik got. Its nice to force these ‘experts’ to eat some humble pie.
I agree with Sather Gaborik IS a top 10 player in this league regardless of position and (here’s the IF word again) IF he stays healthy i genuienly all bias aside think he challenges for a scoring title, at least top 5-10…. he was made for this system.
Again, perhaps getting ahead of myself – Del Zotto in the running for the calder this year?
