Canadiens at Rangers: GameDay Notebook
Here is some news and notes leading up to tonight’s mega gigantic huge colossal game:
NY Times: Rangers luck needs to hold for playoff berth.
MSG.com: Stan Fischler: How to stay alive.
SNY: Time to end the losing streak.
Newsday: Encouragement, not the whip….
CBC Sports.ca: Habs' road turns rocky again
The Bleacher Report: Canadiens Have Their Work Cut Out for Them
A few Ranger quickies:
Nik Antropov skated and will probably play tonight although neither he nor coach John Tortorella explicitly said as much, according to the Ranger Report.
At the optional skate: Antropov, Sean Avery, Colton Orr, Brandon Dubinsky, Lauri Korpikoski, Aaron Voros, Fredrik Sjostrom, Steve Valliquette, Dan Girardi, Chris Drury and Blair Betts.
Final Word:
Tonight marks the 3rd game in 4 nights for the Habs. Starting goalie Carey Price is battling the flu. Schneider and Andrei Markov may be out for the season, or may play tonight, depending on whether you listen to the press here or in
If I ran the zoo, I’d put Avery, Dubinsky, Callahan, Staal, and Girardi out there for the first shift. Five high energy, physical players to set the tone.
Don't forget to check in on the open game thread, it starts at 6:30

What are you NUTS!? I’d play Avery and Callahan and that’s it. They can do it. Thank god Montreal has been sucking and are coming off a loss to Ottawa.
so, 2 on 5 hockey?
might as well, the last two games seemed like they were playing shorthanded

Dave’s right. FSN-FL is loading both of their channels with Preakness Stakes previews. One in English and the other in Swahili.
