Same lineup tonight against the Leafs, which means D Jason Strudwick swings up to forward again.
Leafs have one of the top offenses in the league so far---and one of the worst defenses.
Lundqvist, Jagr, Gomez and Shanahan skipped the optional skate, although Shanahan was on the bike in the workout room.
Sean Avery (shoulder) skated in a non-contact yellow jersey again and will be evaluated
by the doctors tonight. As a result, coach Tom Renney ruled him out for Monday night's visit by Tampa Bay.
Time for some XXX vitamin water and a sesame bagel breakfast.
More from the Garden later...

Yo Bob.
Optional -Adjective, meaning possible but not necessary; left to personal choice.
It didn't sound like you knew the definition, hope that helps buddy. Cheers.
No Tucker or McCabe tonight. Doesn't make a big difference but Toskala is in net for the Leafs instead of Raycroft. Don't think Toskala has ever played the Rangers before.
Yeah, I think Bob needs to "cellect" a dictionary
talk about someone just looking for something to be negative about
Hey steve,

It must be a hell of a vitamin if its Triple X??? Is it made by Pfizer and is it blue?
