New York opens its 2007-2008 regular season vs. the Florida Panthers Thursday, October 4 at Madison Square Garden (7 p.m.).
Is it too much to ask for the first 23 wins? See you Blueshirts this week at the Garden with a beer in hand, good company and a hope of something bigger and more important than what we've seen in seasons' past.

i like the roster changes...dawes is more talented than hossa and he proved it. i think that will be a mistake at the beginning of the season. dawes is a strong NHL contender.
