Andrew Gross reports that Marty Biron will start against the Florida Panthers tonight and the line-up will remain the same meaning Erik Christensen, Jeff Woywitka and Wojtek Wolski will be the healthy scratches.

…nice to have a backup that I have full confidence in.

Tonight’s game, which is expected to have some fireworks after Michael Del Zotto was sucker punched by Tomas Kopecky followed by the subsequent Mike Rupp beat down of the Panthers winger in their previous match a week ago, may not be as nasty, as Krys Barch, who threatened revenge on the Rangers after the game, will be suspended tonight for insensitive remarks to the Canadiens PK Subban last weekend.

On Frozen Pond says Barch said something about Subban “slipping on a banana peel” which the refs construed as a racially insensitive remark.

…happy to hear this moron won’t be playing tonight.
