Interesting to see Orr tonight, I think he’s going to be looking for Brashear, as well as anyone he may of had an issue with in previous years.

You’re right I will root for a Ranger, but you know what I mean. I always liked Orr and Brashear seems like a cool dude, but I still remember the Betts incident which was not the first time he went over the line….should be interesting :)

are we taking bets that Colton puts a beat down on brashear??

Expecting a physical game tonight

Toronto wanted to toughen up this off-season and they sure did, this game could be entertaining with a lot of PIMs. We have a better offense and goaltending so hopefully we can pick up our 5th in a row tonight :)

first to call this as a bad move but espn has moved us up to number 5 in the power rankings…i hate when outside people start to pump this team.

never seems to work out well when others start pumping us up. the me against the world attitude works for us. so how about, why as low as 5th? lol.

i agree

i always like my teams to be doubted and the underdog. things always seem to go bad when everyone else starts jumping on board.

by Conway on Oct 12, 2009 6:45 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

toronto has given up 17 goals in 4 games and pk is only at 54%…if we can keep up how we have played lately with the man advantage i expect 1 or 2 from special teams tonight.

Come on people

don’t you realize how bad it is to root for an opposing player in a fight?

I mean Brashear has played well in the 5 games this season. He wants the Garden to respect him, but what would rooting for Orr in a fight between them do to Brashear? I don’t think there is anything worse than playing for an organization in which the fans go that low to actually enjoy watching you lose a fight.
