Does this game really mean anything? It's been almost 5 years since the finals, and much like the rivalry against Chicago, this one doesn't really have the cachet it used to. Something's missing though. Whatever could it be?
Oh wait... I know what's missing: Brandon Prust. Yeah, seems like we have been talking an awful lot about the guy this year, and in the last month or so especially. That's what happens when you spear someone in the junk and then act like an unrepentant asshole about it. As we discussed previously, Prust was scheduled to be scratched against the Rangers, with Jake Virtanen getting back in the lineup after missing the game against the Islanders Sunday.
