“@tpanotchCSN: Flyers-Canes postponed. Don't have a date or time yet on the makeup”

Could be cancelled tonight...
 
As Biron just retired from the Rangers, I'm not sure he would have been able to sign. They'd better find a fresh body who can actually play the position, I don't want Girardi in goal if there is an injury.

Someone like this guy?: :laugh:

Such a waste of good money on tickets. the NHL should do the right thing & postpone the game. They postponed a game between Buffalo & Carolina a couple of weeks ago due to snow.

They postponed the game because the entire city was covered by snow. The storm was basically 36 inches of snow with 40 mph winds. No one could get out of their homes and the entire city shut down. Cuomo declared a state of emergency. That is why they postponed the game.

The Islanders and the refs slept over in the city last night (as they usually do). And the majority if not all of the Rangers live in the city. Subways are working as of 3:27 pm. People are able to get around in the city. LIRR and Metro-North are working too.

The game is being played tonight.

With the Flyers/Canes postponed, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that Rangers/Isles is as well. It's really rough out there. I'm in between Hartford and NYC and there's no way any goalie is making that drive, let alone many patrons to watch a hockey game.
 
Cam is the 3rd best goalie in NY. Not worried we still have a better goalie than the isles have had in a decade.

NY State or City? Because he's better than Nabokov at this point.

DiPietro was an awesome goalie before his injuries piled up, though?
 
The Islanders have been in their Manhattan hotel since last night. Howie Rose mentioned that in the broadcast yesterday. They left after their game against Philly.

The city of Philadelphia declared a snow emergency.

This all maybe true but many fans such as myself.live in the suburbs. I could get there if I really wanted to, I just choose not to.
 
Great night to be snowed in and watch hockey if they don't postpone. I have a shiny new 2014 Grand Cherokee 4x4 Limited but it was at the top of the driveway and I don't mind snow driving so I'm out in my front wheel drive '10 Accord coupe sliding around corners and down hills. Done a lot of snow driving over the past few years. The GC makes it so easy it feels like cheating.

Especially a goalie who would be dressed in pads and equipment, ready to jump out of the car, run into MSG and be on the ice for warmups.:sarcasm:
