08-09, here we go!

It's off!

The whole shebang kicked off last night. I will of course focus on the Rangers but there were a few other matches as well.
The Pens beat the Sens , 4-3 in Stockholm. A nice match with a lot of goals. Let's just hope the Swedish referees were there so they now know how to handle a game.

In Prague, the Blueshirts kicked off their season in the best way possible. Markus Naslund opened up in the first period but his shot hit the post. In the second, he got his goal. A magnificent pass from Scott Gomez made Naslund get his first marker for the Rangers. Martin St. Louis equalised before Brandon Dubinsky scored in powerplay, giving the two points to the Rangers.

A few thoughts of 08-09:
The Rookie of the Year will be Steven Stamkos
* Keep your eyes on Vladimir Mihalik (Tampa)
* Wade Redden might get a great season
* The Pens plays even more fun than last season
