Open Game Thread: Rangers vs. Blackhawks

Has everyone thawed out completely? Good. Because the Rangers take on Chicago at 8, and at this point, anything can happen!

Let's see... a 3rd string goalie starting a game at Madison Square Garden against the Rangers

I wonder how this ends https://t.co/3x4Z5ApCFp

Henrik Lundqvist will be between the pipes for the Blueshirts, and here’s the rest of the lineup:

#NYR lines:
Grabner - Hayes - Nash
Miller - Zibanejad- Zuccarello

Player to watch: You know what? Let’s keep an eye on Jesper Fast. He came flying back from that injury to play in the Winter Classic, getting a primary assist on Paul Carey’s goal. I think that fourth line is going to be a ton of fun to watch. (And they score goals! Hell, somebody has to!)

I’m going to flipping back and forth with between the game and The X-Files, so my Twitter may get real weird. But LGR!
