rangers islanders

The Rangers and Isles are back at it again tonight to finish off their duet of games to start the season. The Islanders destroyed a very sloppy Rangers team on Thursday, and you’d have to assume the Rangers won’t be that bad again tonight. Of course, you know what happens when you assume.

The lines were thrown in a blender again, and Tony DeAngelo finds himself as a healthy scratch. He took a terrible and undisciplined penalty and was just downright atrocious. Yet Jack Johnson, who was far worse on the ice, got a promotion to the second pair. These things need to play out, apparently.
