RANGERS LINEUP:

STATE OF THE BLUESHIRTS: The Rangers are 4-1-1 this preseason, but have not looked overly impressive while amassing that impressive record.  They were sloppy against Slovan, and have taken entirely too many penalties against teams that are supposed to be inferior opponents.  They would not be 4-1-1 if they played this way against NHL opponents.  With the roster essentially set, it’s time to get their act together and finish the preseason strong.

CRAZY THOUGHT: Bickel scores a goal.

OPPONENT’S BLOG: N/A
