I can’t wait for this matchup: Finally the NY Rangers will be playing the Nashville Predators – first time since Jed Ortmeyer was relieved of his contractual obligations in NY and Nashville picked him up at the end of last year.
The down-side: the game is in Feb09 in Nashville, and Jed will miss out on the NY “welcome back” that he so deserves. Possible up-sides: I have an excuse to take a road trip and/or subscribe to Center Ice. Okay, it’s only one game, but to me, it exemplifies the need to have all the teams play eachother, even if it is only once. I won’t get on my soap box about how they should up the frequency of these inter-divisional matches, but suffice it to say that this is a step in the right direction.
Along those lines, I’m looking forward to the NYR/Maple Leafs games to see how Ryan Hollweg fares against his former team. He may get a mix of cheers and jeers – assuming he has a regular role on the Leafs’ fourth line, and also assuming they roll 4 lines.
Neither Jed nor Ryan have played for any other NHL teams, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out. Come to think of it, I look forward to Jed & Ryan playing eachother! Sign me up for Center Ice!!!

Come on out to Music City and take in the game; it'd be a lot more fun than just watching the game from home!
Hey Dirk! You're right - that's alot more fun. I'm thinking about going. Went last year and had a blast. Gotta score me some tix. Hopefully Jed will be game-ready and hanging out at the Beer Cellar!
You should totally come to Nashville for this game! It's one of my most anticipated match-ups of the season as well as I can't wait to finally see the Rangers again. Seriously...come to the game.
Dude, what about the Omsek match up? lol.
Personally, I'm more into the Stars match up than Nashville, but I can't wait to see Jed again, either. (I really wish we could get that 4th line from three years ago back together... I'm not kidding when I say that could make or break this high profile team.)
