Alright guys, I was able to tear myself away from NHL 12 long enough to create this open game thread, don't make me regret it. Stop by, hang around, and watch some New York Rangers' prospects!
The New York Rangers are already guaranteed a trip to the finals of the Traverse City Tournament, no matter what happens today.
The Rangers will be going up against the Carolina Hurricanes farm system. Check out Canes Country for more on their team.
A few notes before the game begins after the jump.
Bantering Points:
- The Rangers have outscored opponents 11-4 in their two wins.
- Ryan Bourque scored his eighth goal ever in the tournament for the Rangers, the most ever by a prospect in the organization. Bourque is a veteran of this tournament, and he's shown it thus far. I'm excited to see more from him today.
- Tim Erixon has looked really good in both games, but didn't find the scoresheet in game two. I would bet he grabs a few points when all is said and done tonight.
- Blake Parlett leads the Rangers in points over two games. He has recorded five assists, and looks fantastic moving the puck out there. He's also a defenseman. Go ahead and take all that in.
- Christian Thomas has played fantastically, but hasn't found the back of the net yet. He had an assist in the second game, but has been dangerous passing the puck all tournament. Here's to him finally potting a goal.
OK guys, enjoy the game and make sure to have fun!

No doubt, puck just dropped.

McIlrath
laid some lumber in the corner. But nothing immense.

I will only get to see
the first period before work. Hopefully they do a lot of damage in the first 20 minutes.

Thomas draws a penalty
Good work by him, he kicked it into another gear once he hit the red line

I love that Erixon fakes the shot at the point
even when he knows he’s going to pass. It opens up passing lanes all over the ice

Nice shot by Thomas
quick little wrister that has to be dealt with.

Yea he got knocked into the boards pretty hard towards the end. I believe it was mostly his shoulder, which he had surgery on last year (if i remember correctly). Didn’t hear any news about him actually being injured tho. Probably just letting him rest it an extra day.

Rangers deserved that
they haven’t been playing well the past three minutes.

it reminds me of Gaborik’s actually. Quick release and tons of speed

McCologan scores for the Rangers
A hard-working, gritty goal. 2-1 Rangers

And Christian Thomas
should get an assist for causing the turnover.
Clark talked to me about how excited he was about McCologan’s potential. I can see why.

He’ll get one. Did you see the pass through the defenders legs after he stripped the puck? Slick.

Looks pretty good cycling the puck.
And with that, I’m off to work. Blue Seats, keep us all posted!

After watching the last two games and the first period here, I get it. I get exactly what the Rangers are doing.

I feel like they just kinda test the waters in the first period. Then dive in head first in the second.

Pretty uneventful second period so far. Plus I have to focus more now since John and Joe decided they’re done calling the game again. Kills me when they just blabber on and on.

I blame Cam Talbot. The fact that he’s not even there is irrelevant.

Nope sorry.
But if it makes you feel any better, I’m going to miss the season opener because I’ll be in the middle of a 10 hour train ride.
