NYRangerscast.com Interview with Artem Anisimov

by Jim Schmiedeberg on Jul 28, 2009 12:58 PM EDT in Rangers News Comment 8 comments

Our good friends Steve and Eric at NYRangerscast.com were nice enough to share their interview with Artem Anisimov with us. If you haven't taken a look at their site, make sure you do, Steve and Eric are awesome guys, and Steve joined us on Blueshirt Banter Radio last week, and will again tomorrow night as we continue the "Blueshirt Banter Ranger No-Stars" discussion.

Q: What has this summer been like for you? What have you done and what do you plan on doing before coming back to America in September?

ANISIMOV: Before training I simply rested, hung out with my relatives and friends, and went house hunting with my girlfriend. In the beginning of June I started my training in the gym and jogged. The Rangers gave me a special training program which I am using to prepare for the season. I want to come to training camp at my maximum level of preparation.

You had a great season in the American Hockey League last year. Do you feel you are ready to make the jump to the NHL?

Last season was very successful for me. I was flattered to be invited to the all-star game. That was my first time participating in something like that. I received good experience playing North American hockey last year. I played 80 games for Hartford, scoring 81 points which, in my opinion, is a good indicator. I have been living in the U.S. for two years now and I feel that I have gained enough experience. I understand the style of North American hockey and I like it very much. I now feel I have the strength to play in the NHL.

Thanks again to Steve and Eric for sharing this, and make sure you bounce over to their site to check out the rest of the interview.

I can't wait...

to see him playing this season in a Rangers uniform. This kid has what it takes to succeed in “today’s” NHL.

i could care less..

about interviews with players saying cookie cutter answers.
Although its always interesting to read through these interviews with players, i’m waiting for someone… i dont care who they play for… to say im ready to take the nhl by the balls and have my way with it.
Its not that i dont think anisimov or any other prospect isnt ready, I just think the nhl needs more personality to it.
everyone gives the “we play every shift 110%, and minimize mistakes and we will win games” routine and its redundant and over played.
I dunno. maybe im jsut frustrated by all the offseason talk, and i just wanna see this team perform already.

I would much rather have it this way than

NFL style where players just rocket off on tangets that make no sense.

Moose you are a semi-regular in here, and far be it from me to antagonize a semi-reg, but do you realize that you complain about almost every story?

If you take a look at the questions NYRangerscast asked, a few of them are the standard questions. But they are the same questions everyone is going to ask, so they almost HAVE to be asked, if that makes sense. If we interviewed AA, we’d have to ask some of the same questions, its the nature of the beast.

That being said, they also asked a few questions that I think were different, and relevant, such as how he is getting ready for the grind of a Torts training camp.

But you hang in there brother, eventually we will do something you like.
