And Okoposo should ensure they're not in the bottom five...but it'll be close, IMO. Amen to that, LI Joe

In order to conform to the required compliance, MSG had to eliminate some 200 seats from the arena. Based on such, the partial seasons holders be suffer. Normally, those with a partial plan the previous year (like me) would be offered the seats for the full year. But, due to the elimination of the 200 seats, season's subscriptions will be handled as follows, in this order: 1)renewals of full season subscribers plus any additional seats they may want, 2) relocation of those full seasons subscribers needing to be relocated due to the seat removal, 3)& not yet, invoices will be sent to partial season subscribers, but only for a partial plan. So if any partial subscriber was planning or hoping to get the full season (like me, again), they will have to wait for the "smoke to clear" so to speak & then find out if any seats remain for the full season. Whew, that's the story.

I don't know why, but Nyi plays there best hockey against Nyr, i never look forward to the games, cause something always goes wrong, it pisses me off. I just hope we can bitch around the Devils like we did last season, that would be just awesome. We were the best in the Atlantic against the division, hopefully Nyr can keep that up.

I never felt like the team was that far away from beating Pittburgh - the debacle of a loss in Game 1, the 2-0 Game 2(w/empty netter), and Hollweg's bonehead penalty in Game 3. Its water under the bridge but I thought last years team with a strategic signing or two could have put the team in a good position for 2008-2009. Longer term, I hope Redden and Zherdev live up to expectations but as I look at the team in August, on paper (which doesn't mean anything), I feel like the overall skill level is marginally lower with almost as many question marks.

This is one of the worst, most future-free teams I've seen in some time. There roster reads like the old-timers game-meets the Bridgeport Soundtigers-meets my beer league team. What a disaster.

I'm puzzled in their rating Washington #3 (& not just because they're predicted them to be a division winner) & Ottawa 5th. It appears almost to the man, the Hockey News analysts don't think much of Wade Redden & the moves Sather made during the summer. I, on the otherhand, am cautiously optimistic about the changes. Despite all the criticism, Redden remains an outstanding outlet passer & can't wait to see Zherdev playing with Gomez. Staal, with a year's experience under his belt will be that much more effective. I think the team will be moving the puck more quickly & will be exerting much more pressure in the offensive zone. I may be way off base, but I see NYR & Philadelphia almost as equals, but with the Rangers having a distinct advantage in goal. Lundqvist is rated as the League's 2nd best goalie, behind Luongo & rated #14 of the THN's top 50 players.
