STATE OF THE BLUESHIRTS: The Rangers are going to toy with our emotions this year. It’s going to be a very up and down ride, so strap yourselves in and get ready for a lot of bumps in the road. Tonight it’s the disappointing Calgary Flames who visit the Garden. The Flames are good on paper, but they can’t seem to get everything together. Their big piece in the Dion Phaneuf trade, Ian White, was shipped to Carolina for Tom Kostopolous and Anton Babchuk. The team is in a perpetual state of mediocrity, much like the Rangers. However, the Rangers are trending up, and the Flames trending down.

CRAZY THOUGHT: Eminger gets a goal.

PREDICTION: Rangers 3, Flames 2

The game is at 8pm tonight on MSG. The game will also be on 1050AM on your radio. Discussion here is always recommended too!
