Markus Naslund, step right up its your turn to face your former team mates tonight. Do you think there's an added incentive for Naslund tonight to stick it to the organization that blasted him in the papers towards the end of last season and subsequently forced him out of Vancouver? I think so and I hope the soft-spoken Swede goes out and has a hell of a game. Once again, the Rangers get the luck of the draw and face the 4th best Vancouver D in the NHL, thanks largely to the human brick wall Roberto Luongo.
Quick hits...
- Wonder if Zherdev and Voros, benched for periods of time in the 3rd period of Monday night's game, got Tom Renney's message? Tonight is their chance to get back on the saddle. Voros I'm not too worried about. He seems to have a head on his shoulders and plays a team game. Having said that, he needs to maintain the level he had at the beginning of the season for the rest of the season otherwise other players (Sjostrom is knocking on the door) will move up. On the other hand, Zherdev is the one to worry about, considering his past of laziness, moodiness, and sulking.
- Scott Gomez will be out again from tonight's game with a faulty ankle. The Rangers are 3-0 with him out of the line-up. So, there isnt a rush to bring him back, but you'd like to have him back soon. Scott, we all miss your gorgeous end to end rushes.
Until next time...
