Traverse City Tournament Open Game Thread: Rangers Trying To Win Traverse City

The Traverse City Tournament ends tonight, as the New York Rangers take on the Buffalo Sabres for the crown.
The Rangers are 3-0-1 in the tournament, being handed their only loss last night in double-overtime against the Carolina Hurricanes. Tonight the Rangers will go up against the Sabres, who won the other division in the tournament.
The Rangers won the entire thing back in 2007. You might recognize some of the names who highlighted that team. Just a few players by the name of Brandon Dubinsky, Artem Anisimov, Mike Sauer and Marc Staal. No big deal.
This year's group is highlighted by Tim Erixon, Dylan McIlrath, Christian Thomas, Carl Hagelin and J.T. Miller. Can they have the same success Dubinsky, Anisimov, Sauer and Staal had? We'll have to see tonight.
Have fun in the game thread boys and girls. If you want to visit the enemy, check out Die By The Blade.

Yogan? Better be injury related. He’s been good.
by Gabby the Gutless Sniper on Sep 14, 2011 6:48 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
It is. Separated his shoulder on that hit the other day. One of the beat guys tweeted it earlier. Should be good to go in like a week or so I believe they said.
by Eastern Impact on Sep 14, 2011 6:49 PM EDT up reply actions
But it wasn’t the shoulder he injured last year, so that’s a plus.
by Eastern Impact on Sep 14, 2011 6:49 PM EDT up reply actions
After three games here is the good news/bad news:
None of these guys look ready for the big club. Many bright spots, but I’m not seeing anyone who is ready to take minutes on this team.
Erixon has been impressive, but I think he’s going to find himself over matched physically and will need time to adjust. He moves the puck well, I think preseason will be interesting to see how he holds up against NHL competition. Maybe a midseason call up.
Hagelin and Bourque are probably a year away. Both have flashed offense that will make them great bottom six talents when Avery and others leave in 12 and 13. Yogan is another guy showing promise. The three of them in CT this year would be great.
Thomas and McIlrath are two years away. McIlrath looks like a tough guy and athlete that happens to play hockey. Great if you don’t have a terminator on your back line but will need to improve skills and hockey sense to contribute.
Thomas has skills, but he is small and doesn’t appear to have a strong base (like the midgets in Buffalo) he’s been worked over pretty bad in the corners. Two years of maturing (1 in juniors and 1 in ahl) should have him ready in 2013.
Miller and Mcloglan shows some natural ability, probably two years before they get a serious look.
My wildcard is Parlett.. Silky smooth with good hands and doesn’t shy from contact. Very interesting to see if he’s in mix for 6/7 defenseman
by Gabby the Gutless Sniper on Sep 14, 2011 6:44 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
I think that’s a pretty solid assessment based on what we’ve seen so far. Im also excited to see Jonathan Audy-Marshmellow or whatever it is in CT this year.
by Eastern Impact on Sep 14, 2011 6:52 PM EDT up reply actions
Agreed. Audi-Martian Landing looks decent.
He’s been a pleasant surprise. Good puck skills, looks to be average skater with slightly below average size.
by Gabby the Gutless Sniper on Sep 14, 2011 6:55 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Disagree. Erixon looks 100% ready for the show. I’d say Hagelin and Parlett could be mid-season or injury call-ups.
He’s as good as advertised. I’m just not sure its enough right now. Torts will give him ample opportunity in preseason. We’ll have our answer soon.
by Gabby the Gutless Sniper on Sep 14, 2011 7:04 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I hope he gets ample opportunity, but isn’t amply forced into situations he isn’t ready for (ala MDZ).

That was a nice pass by Thomas
the chances to score were low, but he waited till the diving defenseman passed him and threw it across the crease. That’s how you make things happen.

Do you like Phil Collins? I’ve been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn’t understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins’ presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group’s undisputed masterpiece. It’s an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don’t you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I’ve heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins’ solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don’t just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

It was a question. Was the shot after the wrap around deflected or just shot over the net?

I’ll admit to yelling “YES” and doing a small fist pump..only to find out it wasn’t a goal. Depressing.

Score and time left?
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Spot on. After the whistle Erixon shot the puck into the boards and then looked to see if the referee saw it.

McIlrath with a horrible decision there. Cam Fowler doesn’t take that penalty. Oh wait, he’s not playing in this tournament because he’s already an NHL level player.

I’m joking. Not at the bad decision part, just the Fowler reference.
by Gabby the Gutless Sniper on Sep 14, 2011 9:18 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Fowler
Could easily be Del Zotto part 2.
And before we get too enamored with his points think about the players he had around him. Like 1 fifty goal scorer, 2 thirty goal scoters and the highest point producing defenseman in the league last year.

Yeah, putting up a -27. :)

Remind me not to joke about that anymore. All the Fowler haters descend like priests at a high school wrestling match.

Ooh!
I don’t hate him, just think its WAAAYYY to early to say who was a better pick.

Noticed earlier that their passing has been way too cute. Not enough North/South.

Neimi is ECHL bound by the end of this game,
What a piece of shit.
by Gabby the Gutless Sniper on Sep 14, 2011 9:21 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
Was that him again? I couldn’t catch the # of who tried that floating saucer pass that got picked off.

That was him. Lazy hockey play by a guy with no future with this franchise. He’s absolute garbage on every level.
by Gabby the Gutless Sniper on Sep 14, 2011 9:24 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
He had that winner earlier in the game too. Haven’t seen much of him but….how the hell did he get a letter…or get on this team?

The Sabre did knock it out of mid-air, but yeah, overall Niemi hasn’t looked impressive.
by NTB on Sep 14, 2011 9:25 PM EDT via iPhone app up reply actions
He’s done little to change my mind about him going into this tournament. When we have such a full stable of young defensive prospects a guy like Niemi becomes expendable very quickly.
Never should have bothered to break the tradition of hatred and trade with the Islanders for him.

5-2. Breakaway goal.
That’ll do it.

Gordie Clarke is a piece of shit. They need to lure Garth Snow and the Islander front office to switch allegiances to turn this shit around.
by Gabby the Gutless Sniper on Sep 14, 2011 9:33 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
This is depressing and total bull shit.
Another choke effort. Guys aren’t battling for pucks and the goalies not coming up with big saves when needed.

Skinny legs on people in wheelchairs creep me out. Why can’t they wear inflatable legs underneath to look more normal.
