1. Marian Gaborik, after spending the first two days of training camp sitting out because training camp is dangerous for oft-injured players, actually skated with the team yesterday. He didn't join the scrimmage or anything, but at least he skated at camp. Anyone else getting the jibblies about this? Not that I don't trust them or anything, but it's a lot harder to believe the whole "all the injuries are in the past" thing when you keep him out of the first two days of camp. Still, Torts says it's all precautionary and he's fine, and he skated yesterday, so...we'll see. Yeah.
2. They played a scrimmage game today. It was tied 3-3. They used some lines that don't matter. I'm only telling you this so I can tell you that Sean Avery left the ice joking that the refs were letting other players get away with too much shit on him. That's funny.
3. Preseason starts tonight! Wish I could watch it. Boo to living not-in-New-York. I guess that's what I get for being able to afford housing. It's at the Garden at 7:30, against the Bruins. We will be using the following lineup:
Forwards: Drury, Anisimov, Grachev, Boyle, Higgins, Lisin, Parenteau, Brashear, Kotalik, Callahan, Byers, Matt Maccarone (?)
Defensemen: Stall, Girardi, Gilroy, Del Zotto, Sauer, Alexei Semenov (?)
Goalies: Valiquette, Matt Zaba (?)
Let's Go Rangers!
Since I can't actually watch the game, here are four commercials from tonight's opponents to get us in a hockey-is-awesome mood (like we needed help).
Hockey!
