Good late morning. I’m trying to wrap up a few things so I can head to MSG for tonight’s game, which should be interesting given all the history, and given what the Rangers did (or didn’t do) Monday, and given the usual Avery-Brodeur …

I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s game for two reasons. One, I’m going!

Two, it will be interesting to see what this game does to or for the Rangers, after their awful loss Monday to the Sharks.

Mostly I will be interested to see …

If you’ve watched hockey seasons at all … in other words, if this isn’t your first season as a fan … then you should know this. Losing streaks sometimes start with poorly-played victories. The Rangers had won seven in a row, but…

The last time the Rangers won eight in a row was 1974-75 … I think that was the team that lost to the Islanders on the J.P. Parise goal in overtime … and 1973-74. The team record is 10 in a row 1972-73 and in 1939-40.

Closing in on gametime. Hope my radio is working in the pressbox at Yankee Stadium. Wish I was home on the couch with the laptop and a sandwich. Or in T.O.

I know some of you think Josh doesn’t exist, but he does, and he’s here at the Sta…

Can you say “Trap game?”

If there ever was one, this is it: Rangers on a six-game winning streak at the Maple Leaves on an 0-5-1 start. Rangers on a roll, but coming off a poor effort, against a team they easily beat earlier in the week.

Nick Lidstrom got his 1,000th point last night.

As a six-time Norris Trophy winner and a four-time Stanley Cup champion, there is zero doubt that he goes into the Hall of Fame the moment he is eligible. But where does he stand all-time?
