Tonight’s game at the Garden is not just some “ordinary” game.
No, its not a divisional matchup, nor is it a conference rival. It is not a playoff matchup and no, nobody is making their NHL debut.
It is the Scouting Bowl!
For what seems like years now, the New York Rangers and the Ducks have always seemed to have trade rumors surround them. The only move that these teams have made together in the last few years was one with no winners. This was the Carl Hagelin for Emerson Etem swap.
Whether it has been Sami Vatenen for Dan Girardi (if only…), Cam Fowler, Rick Nash or the majority of players from the two teams, you can bet that there has at least been one rumor.
