The wait is over: the New York Rangers open their regular season tonight against the rival Islanders at home, in what is sure to be a night to remember. The World Cup of Hockey and the long preseason were nice, but they’re nothing compared to the real thing. While we don’t have much to go on so far, there’s still enough out there to draw some conclusions about how these two teams match up.
With the Rangers opening at home for the first time since 2007, the team is sure to be motivated and hyped up for tonight’s matchup.
