The Broadcast: TV - MSG+ (HD); Radio - 660 AM WFAN
The Matchup: The New Jersey Devils (37-38-5) at the New York Rangers (43-33-5)
The Previews: My preview from earlier this morning is right here. For the other side of today's game, please check out Blueshirt Banter.
Gameday Info: Nothing as of now (10:35 AM) from New Jersey. Though I really don't expect there to be any since no one was called up this morning. The Rangers are making a few changes to their lineup. As tweeted by Andrew Gross of the Bergen Record this morning, defenseman Matt Gilroy, forward Chris Drury, and forward Mats Zuccarello are in the lineup today; whereas defefenseman Steve Eminger and forward Sean Avery will sit. Per this later tweet by Gross, head coach John Tortorella is hoping the return of Drury will give the team some "juice." We'll see!
A Song Befitting My Mood Right Now: Just a little something lighthearted. Hopefully after about 3 PM, we'll be able to sing this song in pure glee.
A Song More Befitting for Today's Game: This song by Dark Angel is a little more appropriate, though. Especially the chorus:
The city is living.
The crime is life.
The sentence is death.
Darkness Descends
Do it, Devils.
