It’s Go Time!

Published by

on

Ticket contest is now closed.

Tonight is the Military Appreciation Night at the Garden. They usually do a very good job celebrating any event, so I’m sure this one won’t be an exception.

The Rangers, however, don’t usually do well on those nights. Let’s hope this one is different.

Rangers (6-3-3) vs Panthers (10-0-1), 7 pm start, TV-MSG+

Projected lineup:

Lafreniere-Zibanejad-Kreider

Panarin-Strome-Kakko

Blais-Goodrow-Gauthier

Hunt-Rooney-Reaves

Lindgren-Fox

Miller-Trouba

Nemeth-Lundkvist

Hajek, Tinordi-prucha’d

Chytil-injured

Shesterkin in net

LGR!!!!!

    Hopefully, they will gat a 5 goal lead tonight so it is impossible for them to blow it.

    So you have bad announcing by somebody who does not enjoy calling games for NYR; just collecting a paycheck. They both think the viewer is an 10yo kid who never watched the game nor knows nothing about the league.
