I'm in the same boat as you are, but it doesn't seem to be anything long-term(hopefully).

Both Gionta and Salvador "hope" to play tomorrow, which means I'll see neither of them, and Martin, Rolston, Holik, and Brodeur will still be out. Ugh I need to stop buying tickets until January. Why am I cursed to be such a fan?

Edit: Nope, no Martin.

BTW, one of our prospects, Halischuk, who played (well) in one game up here, has been injured in Lowell.

Both players said they hope to play in Sunday night’s home game against Edmonton.

He INSISTED he was ok to play but they held him out to make sure, and insisted that he was not concussed. Fuck, I'd be scared too, but why the fuck would you keep him out in a one goal game?

Glad to see the Leafs win, most especially with the Habs playing like lowlife scumbags tonight.

This is why I said you see tons of Rangers jerseys at EVERY road game. Learn to read.

I disagree with you and you have no basis to support your argument other than what you think you see, which I'm sure includes a certain amount of "can't see Rangers jerseys no matter what because I'm a Devils fan". This argument is idiotic and neither of us can really support our position better than I already have and I agree that it's flawed.

Fucking Luongo's shutout continues as we end our streak of NOT being shutout. Damn it all.

According to Wikipedia New York City has about 7,000,000 more people than Detroit, so I will bank on seeing more New York Rangers sweaters wherever you go.

OK since you guys want to keep going down this path, I'll bring out the big guns. I present to you....

Hell even the Islanders have someone willing to be caught wearing their jersey.

Cameron Frye lived in Chicago, so his folks probably moved from Detroit.

Gladstone was a moron.

That doesn't improve your argument.

Dang, and it was such a valuable argument too.
