2011-12 Game 39 New York Rangers (25-9-4, 54 points) at Pittsburgh Penguins (21-13-4, 46 points) Pretty cool dual signature with Lunqvist and Hasek. This is listed at just $22.50 with a bit under a day left in the auction. Why does it matter? The Pens have faced some tough opponents recently in Chicago, Philly and even New Jersey. This might be the toughest game of the year to date with the way the Rangers are playing. The Blue Shirts have won eight of their past nine games, including a win over the Flyers in the Winter Classic. This will be a difficult one to win. What has been happening lately? Pens - Things were going well until the last two games. Now the Pens are in danger of three straight losses for the first time since October. Rangers - As mentioned above, they're hot. They're on the back end of a back-to-back here, so maybe they'll be tired. Questions to be answered Can the Pens get to the...

And whether he was being sarcastic (which I believe he was) or serious (doubt it very much), he will pay for it. Or Cablevision will pay for it. Somebody...

Rangers-Panthers in review

For all the complaining we (I) did about the outdoor game, it was a downer going back indoors, especially at the World’s Quietest Arena. What a shame. Could you imagine a first-place team in the middle of a season in the 1970s or ‘80s and the kind of intimidation MSG would throw at an opponent? Granted, you can never expect the Sunrise Panthers to bring out the same...
