The New York Rangers lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning by a score of 4-2 tonight at MSG. The Rangers are now 1-4 on the preseason.

For post-game quotes go to Blue Notes.  My thoughts:

• At least they didn't lose 3-2 again.

• Didn't watch much of the game as I was too busy biting my nails off watching the Mets. Beltran!

• But from what I saw, Prucha has to get some confidence back in his offensive game. He could have easily had a hat trick tonight.

• Can't see how Korpikoski doesn't make this team. Even if we have to put him on a wing.

• Is it just me, or is Voros literally trying to fight his way onto this team?

• I think Nedved is done. While he looks great now, you have to assume he's been giving his all just to make the team.  He won't look nearly this fresh come February when the games really start to count.

• Once again, tons of shots (47) and only two goals. I can't take another year of this.

• Hopefully, with most of our starters in there on Saturday against New Jersey, we'll see a few more goals.
