Open Game Thread: Traverse City Game Two Vs Dallas

After a solid first game at Traverse City, the Rangers look to continue their winning ways against the Dallas Stars. The Rangers showed spurs of brilliance last night, and made the most of their opportunities.
Ryan Bourque and Christian Thomas displayed their speed, and surely impressed the Rangers brass, along with a lot of fans as well. Tim Erixon played awesome on the blue line and contributed an early powerplay goal for the Blueshirts. A lot of other names went unnoticed as well, like Michael St. Croix and Jyri Niemi.
There are still three games remaining in the tournament for these players to show off their skills. Sometimes it just takes a game or two to get comfortable.
Andrew Yogan hopes to rebound and finally net a goal tonight. He had a handful of chances last night, but he just couldn't seem to bury them.
Tonight should be another great showcase of all our prospects. We will be covering each game with an open thread, along with an analysis shortly after the game. The Rangers next game is scheduled for Tuesday, September 13th versus the Carolina Hurricanes.
Enjoy the game and Let's Go Rangers!!

Same, and ditto Hagelin and Bourque… Thomas showed off his passing, I want to see some good shots from him. I want McIlrath to be more consistent. I want to see how Stacjer is…
Most of all, I want 8K back, what the hell!
I’m on the masthead…gotta look somewhat professional

As I stated in the previous thread, Dallas should be stiffer competition. They are coming off an 8-3 win against Carolina. Scott Glennie will be a handful for Erixon/McIlrath.

as will Jack Campbell be for the offense to solve

I really like Miller's game...
He, Bourque, McIlrath, and Thomas have really impressed me. I see them as 4/5 of a 2nd (or 3rd line, particularly this season).

Just so I'm clear on this..
This game is live? Because my brother seems to think its from the other day and I’m confused now. Might be because of the emotions of the day and the fact that the Giants stink.

Well judging by these first two games Sather, Clark, and Co have really done their homework on prospects. I mean this is pure domination by the rangers prospects so far. I mean how many players are playing great right now and how many are way above expectations? I know bourque really surprised me. I see him as a chris drury type player being a great two way forward with some offensive skill, that’s not that tall. Even Parlett is making a case for a roster spot in the near future.
Even if most of these players don’t make the roster, they are good trade bait to get a top echelon player.
I’m really happy with what i’m seeing so far.
John Tortorella on 24/7 will be like Ari Gold on Entourage.

Lots of positives so far.
But the guys I’ve taken notice of so far are not the Erixon, Hagelin and Thomas bunch.
Parlett, Yogan and Bourque have impressed the most (perhaps due to lower expectations). Miller is also in the mix there.
Erixon has been fine..he’s smooth and not flashy. Sort of like Staal but with a bit more offensive mindedness.

This game made me proud of the job...
that Glen Sather has done in restructuring the organization. Took a long time; but, glad to see the real progress.
