Should be easy, but as Ranger fans, we know it wont be.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

One of those games where you have nothing to gain and all to lose.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Just hope we don't stoop down to their poor level of play and we dominate them for 60 minutes.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Yeah that's a problem against the Oilers. Playing their style of hockey because you want to pad your stats.

@KatieStrangESPN:

#NYR Talbot first goaltender off the ice this morning

I like it.

Well we got Talbot in net tonight, now I know we'll show up and play well. Always do for him.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Yeah might as well save Hank for Friday.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Yeah might as well save Hank for Friday.

Exactly.

@stevezipay:

So as reported last night, Ryan Callahan remains in lineup. But with a twist:this AM: Back in front on one of the two PP units

@AGrossRecord:

Same lineup for Rangers tonight but with Talbot in net. The PP, in an 0 for 14 skid, will have a different look with Callahan back in mix.

Good, put Cally in front of the net like he should be.

you guys are acting like the Oilers are a pushover.......Ben Srivens, bad -ass in his own right, belongs with Martin Short, Talbot and any other new-comer goalies that are playing well in the league

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Not saying they're a pushover, but on paper and with the way we've been playing, it should be an easy match-up for us.

Ben Scrivens changes the Oilers entire team play.....their defense yes is under suspect but he himself can steal a game

We shall see. I don't see us having any problems tonight, but you never know. Games aren't won on paper.
