Rangers First Pre-Season Game Tonight!

Well, New York Ranger fans, it might be just a pre-season game but tonight, hockey will be played on the Garden ice against the Boston Bruins. All those days of complaining and whining about not having hockey have really come to an end and now, it’s time to focus on the 2009-2010 Blueshirts. As most of you probably know, Marian Gaborik has felt some stiffness in his groin so the team is being extremely cautious with him (I would do if I was paying him millions of dollars). You also all know that Brandon Dubinsky still has not signed and that head coach John Tortorella went as far to say that the whole situation is “stupid”. Let’s hope that something gets worked out quickly and that Dubinsky smartens up and signs a one-year qualifying offer. This way, he can play his butt off, put up a bunch of points and earn and spanking new contract for next season.
