Before I head out of the office, a couple of quick hits about tonight’s big game:

-The loser must now worry about the Flyers, who are playing very well and seem to have gotten righted in net with Martin Biron. They’re just three points behind the Devils and one shy of the Rangers illustrating how tight this race is.

-I’m not certain of the Blueshirts will get Michal Rozsival back but they sure could use him as he works well with Marek Malik logging big minutes allowing rookie Marc Staal to play third pair. Speaking of which, Staal has really played well lately giving the Rangers an advantage if on a third pair with not as much responsibility.

-On the Devil side, keep an eye on Brian Gionta, who inexplicably hasn’t hit the scoresheet in the season series. He was always a thorn in the Rangers’ side until this season. You have to figure he’ll be involved if the Devs are finally to snap their Hudson rival’s recent dominance.

I’m about to go now as it’s been pretty busy here. Plus I’ll be at the game too. So if you want to say hello over by 411, cool. I’m dressed up.

Enjoy the game!
