Red Wings visit MSG tonight

While our server has lately had a mind of its own, the Rangers actually won a game last night 2-1 over the Sabres. I recapped it but as usual, it magically disappeared. The Ranger leaders stepped up with Ryan Callahan scoring, Chris Drury playing probably his best game of the season and Henrik Lundqvist stellar with 36 stops.

The question is can they do it again in a 24-hour span? If it’s to be, they’ll have to earn it against another good team. Though the Red Wings are currently out of the playoffs due to a slew of injuries, they gave the Devils all they could handle last night in a very exciting 4-3 skill comp win for the guys in Newark. That it needed such a silly finish speaks to how ridiculous the league has become with way too many games that get to OT winding up there. A one-on-one ain’t a way to decide such valuable extra points. But we digress.

The Red Wings still boast some of the greatest players on the earth with incomparable Nick Lidstrom along with dynamic duo Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg. So, it will be far from easy for a team that doesn’t score much. Marian Gaborik has another chance to shine in an always sexy Original Six classic match-up. If only we could play the Wings more because they’re the team with some of the best jerseys in the game. And just to see such remarkable talent including the underappreciated Chris Osgood is always a treat.

Are our Blueshirts up to the task tonight? Faceoff’s after 7 where hopefully the Giants will have somehow saved their season against the hated Cowboys, who lead by a field goal in the second quarter. We’ll be in our usual Sec.411 seats in second to last row donning a classic road Quebec Nordiques jersey. Might even find 2Man’s Josh Burnett, who will be there with a friend.

See ya later!
