Live from Boston....

            ....where this burg's hotels are so booked that we hear two NYR beat writers are staying with relatives. 

                 Nah, mine won't have me, so I'm in Cambridge, getting a room in exchange for presenting a guest lecture on Complex Numbers Combinatorics and Graph Theory Difference Equations at MIT...

                 Yeah, right. Some nights I have trouble figuring out plus-minus. 

                 But yours truly actually is in Cambridge and heading across the river to the Bruins-Rangers game at TD around 5.

                 It's Tuukka Rask vs. Henrik Lundqvist---and well, detention to those who really thought Martin Biron would start today.  Think we know who the No. 1 G is. Same NYR lineup otherwise, according to those at the optional skate....          

                Judging by recent history, this should be a low-scoring affair, but the B's have some sizzle so far this season, led by Nathan Horton, the former Panther.

                 So let's catch up later here and at twitter.com/stevezipay as the Rangers kick off the first of a back-to-back that finishes at home against the Devils tomorrow.
