Open Thread: New York Rangers vs New York Islanders – Blueshirt Banter

These 2 groups should put on an entertaining performance if this exhibit video game is anything like the four-game series we witnessed throughout the routine season. Both groups are preparing for their particular qualifying matchups, so I dont believe well see anybody keeping back in this one.

Although its simply an exhibit game, the New York Rangers will be on the ice tonight for the very first time considering that March 11 as they handle the New York Islanders. A lot had to take place for us to reach this point, and the league appears to have a terrific plan in location to keep everyone safe as play resumes in the hub cities.

Hockey is back.

Gamer to Watch: Kaapo Kakko

Kaapo Kakko had a bit of a rocky start to his very first season in New York which is expected for an 18-year old traveling to a new country and adjusting to a new design of hockey. Not to point out, this has actually been the first “main” break Kakko has actually had because he completed his draft year with TPS Turku in Finland. It will be fascinating to see how Kakko preforms returning a little bit more comfortable with his surroundings, and completely revitalized after a prolonged layoff.

Enjoy the return of hockey!
