The New York Rangers started the 2007-08 season off right with a 5-2 victory over at home the Florida Panthers. Michal Rozsival scored just 37 seconds into the opening frame to give the Rangers an early 1-0 lead. This was reminiscent of last season when Jaromir Jagr scored just 28 seconds into the new season.
Newly-signed Chris Drury, making his Rangers debut, scored the game-winning goal in the third period after the Blueshirts had given up two goals in the second period.
The Rangers then travelled to the Canadian capital to take on the Ottawa Senators at ScotiaBank Place. After some sloppy defense led to two goals in the first six minutes, one of which was shorthanded, Henrik Lundqvist was stellar, and made some unbelievable saves. However, the problem for the Rangers was that Sens goaltender Martin Gerber played equally well the entire game, and shut them out.
The Rangers have been off since that game in Ottawa, but play Wednesday night at Nassau Coliseum in what looks to be a slugfest.
Rangers record: 1-1-0
Next week of opponents:
Wed, Oct 10 at Islanders

LOL @ Drury's facial expression there.
Turns out I might miss all of the NY & NY game, due to actually going to the Pens game. (I'm geeked!) SO, I want in-depth coverage of that game when I get back! >:P
