00:00But the New York Rangers are in play tonight, George,
00:02taking on the Pittsburgh Penguins, minus 220 at most outlets here,
00:07a monster favorite in the garden for the Rangers today.
00:09What do we see in this game?
00:11Yeah, I think we need to remember the Pittsburgh Penguins.
00:14Okay, yeah, you got Crosby, one of the best players of all time.
00:16Malkin is still there, Chris Letang, and that's it.
00:20All right, they literally, after that, that cover gets bare real quick here.
00:24These are not the Penguins of old, all right?
00:26This might be the worst team in the Eastern Conference to let you know, all right?
00:29They're not a good team.
00:30Rangers looking to rebound off of a subpar, you know,
00:33where we thought they were going to do some damage last year.
00:35It didn't happen.
00:36Whether it was, you know, locker room turmoil, they didn't like the coach,
00:40the Bannajen, the Panarin, whatever.
00:41It didn't work out.
00:42They sent away some players, Chris Kreider, now on Anaheim, looking to rebuild.
00:46If everything goes right for the Rangers, this could be a good team.
00:49Not a great team, but a good team.
00:51You have the goal-tending against the Sterkin.
00:53Defense is a little shaky, but you pick up J.T. Miller,
00:55who Vancouver couldn't wait to get rid of.
00:57Once again, more locker room issues there.
00:59And he's now the captain for the Rangers.
01:01Wow.
01:02But he's still a very good player here.
01:03I like, listen, obviously I like the Rangers tonight.
01:05Listen, Penguins are not a good team.
01:07I think the Rangers will take care of business.
01:08I am curious to see, will the Rangers be that team?
01:11Can they compete with the Hurricanes?
01:13Can they compete with the Devils if they can stay healthy?
01:15Listen, I'm not going to compare it to the teams in the, you know,
01:18in the Atlantic.
01:19You know, I'm not playing with Florida or Tampa or Toronto.
01:22Those teams may be in another league here.
01:23But I think the Rangers are ready to take that next step.
