GDT: #10 - 10/28/13 | Montreal Canadiens @ New York Rangers | 7:30 PM - MSG, NBCSN

[ranger_nick]

since the 5-0 collapse, really hasn't mattered who they started...

actually to be fair, except for last season, we do ok against them at home.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Would be great to make it to 7-9. Close the gap a little while Hag and Nash hopefully both heal and get back into a groove. Hell I'd take 6-10. Hopefully this time is going to prove to be crucial for some of the young guys to start asserting themselves more.

 

[twistedwrister]

Anyone whether the gate's gonna open at 6 or 6:30?

It's 6. They sent an email saying they were opening gates early since its the first game after the renovation

i heard on montreal radio this morning budaj is starting for the habs. Price plays in net tomorow at home against dallas.

Hey, I've been listening to TSN 990 (as I do almost every morning), and they haven't mentioned anything about who's starting tonight in net for the Habs. In either case, we probably won't score more than 2 goals...

 

[NYR Viper]

Has Hank been confirmed for this game?

 

[Levitate]

Has Hank been confirmed for this game?

Yes, both he and AV said he's playing (per Gross)

 

[JaeTM]

Have to miss this one unfortunately. Have a game of my own. Really pissed about it too, because it's the home opener. Otherwise, I wouldn't really have cared especially considering this season thus far.

 

[9darter]

Strong effort, convincing win coming up!

 

[Wamsutta]

No idea what's gonna happen tonight but excited to see them play at home finally. Hopefully they carry on some of the good habits and play shown on Saturday and keep skating, getting to pucks, shooting, and moving their feet

 

[Nanaki]

A win tonight and we would be 4-6. I figured with the schedule we had we would come out of it 5-5. Given how hopeless everything has seemed it wouldn't be so bad. Just got to win.

 

[RiceCooker]

Be nice to see them get a winning streak going....LGR !!

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Coming off a decisive win, to face Montreal and a backup? Expectations are not high.

Hopefully they can ride the momentum of the home opener.

 

[LORDE]

Just win.

Back up a good road win, with a win at home.

If not, the spiral continues.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

20 out of the next 29 games are at home.

Lets hope this team plays well at the new MSG.

Wish I had access to the Elias Sport Bureau computers to confirm my hunch that home openers against Montreal never workout in the Rangers favor.

 

[Idlerlee]

Does Pyatt have to break both legs and switch teams before AV even considers scratching him ?

 

[MisterUnspoken]

Lars Eller is their #1 center? Wow.... I always thought that guy was a complete scrub.

 

[Riverdale]

Going to miss this one too. Good luck.

LGR

 

[Lime]

Budaj's starting? That's weird.

Also means instant loss.

It must be a cool feeling for other teams when they learn they are playing the back up.

 

[DeadPuck]

I may watch this game tonight, which probably means a loss.

 

[MrEctions]

Im only watching for player intro's. Montreal is an auto loss for us.....

 

[Gardner McKay]

Lars Eller is their #1 center? Wow.... I always thought that guy was a complete scrub.

He is still a borderline scrub. Their depth is hurting as much as ours.

 

[Raspewtin]

Is Lars Eller that bad? He seems solid.

 

[Saitama]

I absolutely hate when either the Jets or the Rangers play the Habs. It seems like forever since I last saw either team beat them, and considering I loathe the Habs and their fans, that makes it even worse.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Is Lars Eller that bad? He seems solid.

Maybe I am just biased... I don't care for him very much.

 

[Graves94]

Is Lars Eller that bad? He seems solid.

Eller has been outstanding so far this year!
That line with him, Gallagher and Galchenyuk is very dangerous and we must watch out for it. Very fast line!
