Rangers vs. Hurricanes; Pregame News & Notes

Below are the pregame news and notes provided by the Rangers, via my anonymous source.  But before I get to those, I wanted to put a couple of things out there for everyone.  First, I want to remind everyone that while I am running this blog, it is a half-assed venture (HAV), meaning that I cannot generate a full blog’s worth of content on my own, nor would I want to. My intent in running this was to keep Carp’s seat warm until he finds something new.  Second, and to that point, while I ask for game review volunteers pretty frequently, especially on weekends, I am very much open to anyone submitting content for publication on this blog. It belongs to all boneheads. As editor-in-chief, I’ll have final veto power over anything crazy, but otherwise it’s free to all for submission at rangersreport2@gmail.com. Finally, would  there be any interest in me doing a podcast?

Below are the pregame news and notes from the Rangers, via my anonymous source.  I’m going to the game tonight with my wife, who probably wouldn’t appreciate me blogging during our time together, so E3 will handle the review for tomorrow.  I’m still looking for more volunteers for guest reviews, as well as any other content you would like to post, especially anything looking at breaking down systems or analytics.
