Season Opener: It's Finally Here!

The Rangers are less than 15 minutes from opening up the season. The big news today is that previously unexpected to play, Petr Prucha will start tonight. While I would rather see Prucha play over Sjostrom, I don't understand this. If you're going to make a decision you should probably stick to it. Prucha practiced with a completely different line yesterday. Also, why isn't Fritsche in the line-up? Tom Renney doesn't make any sense but what else is new?

As reported, Drury was named Captain, and Naslund and Gomez were named Assistants.

Today's game will feature the New York Rangers against the Tampa Bay Mullets (or Lightning.) Both teams overturned their rosters and are still looking to gain some chemistry. As the Czechs would say let's play some puck.
