Rangers to host the Sharks
The Rangers are looking to continue this 7 game win streak with the visiting Sharks tonight at MSG. Granted the Sharks have a 17-3-1 all time record against the Rangers, San Jose will need to bring it to the Garden! Players to watch include Thornton and Marleau (yes, surprised me too) on the Sharks and Gaborik and Prospal on the Rangers. After Heatley’s explosion onto the Sharks bench he has gone pointless the past 3 games. Not for nothing, Dany still sits with 5 goals and 5 assists in 8 games.
Back in the Rangers locker room, Michael Del Zotto is the second youngest D-Man in the Rangers history and the youngest ever to play on opening night. Michael has impressed everyone with his skill and passion – born in 1990, this kid has 3 goals and 5 assists in his first 8 games. I am looking forward to watching him mature into a power house blueliner.
Marian Gaborik, the Ranger’s biggest offseason addition, has now recorded at least one point in all eight games this season. Gaborik tied Dave Creighton for the longest point streak by a new Ranger to begin his first season with the club. Creighton also notched a point in his first eight games to start the 1955-56 campaign. Not a bad way to start out in with Torts on the bench.
Suggested Pairing : Brooklyn East India Pale Ale … for the smooth yet strong flavor of an IPA without the major hoppy bite!
