Rangers Vs. Penguins

The Rangers will play the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight at 7:30 pm on MSG.

Probable Lines-
Anisimov-Stepan-Gaborik
Fedotenko-Richards-Callahan
Hagelin-Boyle-Mitchell
Avery-Dubinsky-Prust

McDonagh-Girardi
Del Zotto-Sauer
Woywitka-Eminger

Scratches-Marc Staal (concussion like symptoms), Mike Rupp (knee), Wojtek Wolski (groin), Andre Deveaux (suspension), Anton Stralman (healthy)

Notes-"Superstar" Sidney Crosby has returned from a concussion that kept him off the ice since last year. The last time the Rangers played the Penguins, Matt Cooke elbowed Ryan McDonagh in the head, and was suspended for 10 games and the first round of the playoffs. That wasn't the first time Cooke was suspended for a dirty hit. In November 2008 he was suspended for 2 games for a check to the head of Artem Anisimov. Torts has confirmed that Staal is skating on his own. Jesper Fasth, a Rangers draft pick, badly injured his foot during a game. Here is the video, but you may not want to watch it because it is extremely disturbing.
It is rumored that the Rangers have expressed an interest in the Duck's Bobby Ryan. I hope the Rangers don't pay an arm and a leg for this guy because the team is doing pretty well right now. I would also hate to lose a lot of prospects because the team has established an identity as a homegrown team. Dan Girardi was not ranked in the newest update of votes for the NHL All-Star Game. Please remember to vote a smany times as you can. The Rangers Winter Classic jerseys were revealed yesterday.
