Game #20: New York Rangers vs Boston Bruins Open Thread

In what feels like an almost yearly tradition for the Rangers, they’ll be featured on the league’s annual Thanksgiving Showdown with a matinee contest. This game always seems to feature some combination of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, and the Rangers and Bruins have earned those honors this season with a 1:00 PM puck drop in The City of Champions. This game was originally scheduled to be played later in the day but the ESPN executives thought better of putting the Chicago Blackhawks on national TV the day after Thanksgiving.

Today’s matchup is the first of three between the Rangers and Bruins this season.
