Glad to see Miller back in over Mashinter, now wish they would rid us of Pyatt next.

Should be a good game. I expect the Rangers to put forth their best performance, in which case they can't be a very dangerous team. I still pick my Pens to win 3-2 however.

We shall see, will be a good game either way.
