SPEAKING
''There is no Simon-Hollweg thing. None. The games are too important, and that business has taken care of itself. It wasn't talked about in this dressing room and I can guarantee it wasn't talked about in their dressing room. It's about getting points.'' - N.Y. Rangers forward Brendan Shanahan on facing the Islanders for the first time since Chris Simon's two-handed stick attack against Rangers forward Ryan Hollweg on March 8. The Rangers won 2-1 in overtime on Sunday.
