When the 2023-24 schedule came out, along with the silly outdoor game that always has to be a Rangers road game, many remarked how dull it was to not meet the Redpants in the first half of the season — and 531 days between meetings at Belmont — but that was tempered by the potential stakes of two meetings in the seasons final weeks.

What if those games really matter for both teams?!

Woof.

Tonight on Long Island and Saturday afternoon on Short Island (home of the Smurfs and their blue-red getup) sure matter, alright.
