Game 53: Rangers vs Hurricanes

The Rangers are back it again, hoping to score, and maybe, get a win.

OPPONENT: Hurricanes

RECORD: 16-28-7

LEADING SCORER: Ray Whitney 16-23-39

GOALIE: Cam Ward, 2.82 GAA and a .910 save percentage

RANGERS LINES:

Vinny Prospal-Brandon Dubinsky-Marian Gaborik
Sean Avery-Chris Drury-Ryan Callahan
Christopher Higgins-Artem Anisimov-Enver Lisin
Ales Kotalik-Brian Boyle-Aaron Voros

My guess is that Brashear sits. Just a guess though. Hank in net.

STATE OF THE BLUESHIRTS: Sucky. After a 14 goal output, 2 in the past 3 games. Yes, you read that right. It’s simple: The Rangers need to find scoring. Someway, somehow. And I have no idea if they will find it.

CRAZY THOUGHT: Kotalik gets a PP goal

ON THE iPOD: Free Bird, Lynyrd Skynyrd

FINAL PREDICTION: Hurricanes 3, Rangers 1

So, watch, discuss, have fun. LET’S GO RANGERS!!!

    I feel suddenly very sorry for Brandon Dubinsky.

    So far my chicken fingers have been the best part of this game.

    Those are some quality chicken fingers they have at the Garden. The fries that come with them are awesome too.

    Yeah they’re tasty. Guy just botched his third chance at 50k shot, lost control and the crowd was the loudest its been all night, booing him mercilessly of course.

    This team needs to be dismantled.

    This team needs some alone time with Herbert from Family Guy.

    This team needs a shakeup that puts all other shakeups to shame.
