Getting your player ready...
In the morning hours Saturday after a fight-filled, 9-3 loss to the New York Islanders, the Pittsburgh Penguins dressed in full gear — minus skates — at Madison Square Garden, where they will play the Rangers today. They hopped a bus for a short trip to Central Park to practice on the outdoor ice but were derailed by a minor accident. The players left the bus and hailed cabs to take them to the makeshift practice. “It was quite a sight,” Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. “I think the gentleman involved with the accident backed off a little bit when he saw a whole hockey team get out with sticks and gloves in their hands.”
