Ok Rozsival is in. Also Brad Isbister is playing, while Jed Ortmeyer takes a seat, which tells me Renney wants offense from the fourth line more than defense.
Will it backfire?
Stay Tuned……

If you were hoping to hear Ronan Tynan during the seventh inning stretch tonight at Yankee Stadium, you are out of luck.
The Irish Tenor is signing God Bless America before Game 2 tonight at the HSBC Arena.
Apparently, according to the Buffalo News, Tynan has adopted the team as his hockey outlet. Much like the Yankees, he [...]

In the optional skate, all players, but Jaromir Jagr, Brendan Shanahan, Henrik Lundqvist, Michael Nylander and Sean Avery took to the ice. And that included Michal Rozsival. Although Tom Renney said he will dress seven defensemen for the warmup and then decide, smart money says he plays. Now will he be on the ice for 23 minutes? [...]

The Rangers skated for about 45 minutes today at the HSBC Arena. It was more informal, with only Marek Mailik, getting rest and Michal Rozsival out with his knee injury.
Afterwards, the players were confident and blamed yesterday on their own poor play.
“We can’t keep this with us,” said Matt Cullen. “We had tough times before [...]

Well, it was nice while it lasted, but the last six minutes or so were brutal. Too many penalties caught up to them, as you saw Thomas Vanek burn the Rangers for two goals. Add another by Ales Kotalik and you get 3-0.
Michal Rozsival got hurt at the wrong time. Karel Rachunek looks very rusty [...]

Michal Rozsival has a leg injury, which can mean anything, and will not return to this game, so it could be pretty serious.
More details as they come in…

At even strength, the Rangers outplayed the Sabres, but they have to stay out of the box. Giving a team like Buffalo power play after power play will come back to haunt them. It’s that simple.
That being said, Lundqvist was up to the task and the Rangers. The Sabres outshot the Rangers, but with a [...]

And there was a band playing trying to rally the Sabres fans. Unfortunately it was sparse, because apparently the police outlawed drinking at the event, which may have killed any buzz [no pun intended].
But I have to put a shoutout to a local bar two block away from the HSBC Arena. I arrived at the [...]

Ok, I am not complaining here, but the pressbox at the HSBC Arena is pretty high up, I almost feel like Alan Shepherd’s first run ito space.
Anyway, for those who didn’t know, Karel Rachunek and Ryan Hollweg are both dressing, while Colton Orr and Thomas Pock will take a seat a few sections down in [...]

Arrived in Buffalo ok. I know you all were worried. Will be heading to the arena in an hour, so I will have some more updates there.
It seems like Sabres fever took over. Every place has Go Sabres signs and even when we landed, the flight attendant said “Go Sabres.” I expect a somewhat hostile [...]
