This is the halfway mark of the season. 41 games. This season has sure gone by fast. This is the first game of the new year.
OPPONENT: Hurricanes
RECORD: 10-23-7
LEADING SCORER: Eric Staal, 8-19-27
GOALIE: Cam Ward, 3.12 GAA and a .900 save percentage
RANGERS LINES:
Dubinsky-Christensen-Gaborik
Callahan-Drury-Higgins
Avery-Anisimov-Kotalik
Lisin-Boyle-Brashear
D-pairs are the same. Hank is in net.
STATE OF THE RANGERS: You know, it’s actually pretty good. 5-1-1 in last 7 games. And take away that Philly game, and the effort has been pretty good. I want to see how the Dubi-Christensen-Gaborik line does in its second game. Maybe Callahan and Drury will have a little Olympic bump. This is a game the Rangers need to win. Start the year off right. Take some of thie momentum, and go with it.
CRAZY THOUGHT: Drury and Callahan score.
ON THE iPOD: Hey Ya, by Obadiah Parker
FINAL PREDICTION: Rangers 3, ‘Canes 1
So, watch, discuss, have fun. LET’S GO RANGERS!!!!
