2011 New York Rangers Training Camp News: Roster Released

Our friend Andrew Gross over at Ranger Rants posted the players who have been invited to camp. He also noted that Wade Redden will not attend the camp, he will report directly to the AHL.  

Here are groups one and two. Groups three and four are after the jump along with some analysis. 

Compare these groups to the schedule we released yesterday to see who will be scrimmaging who. 

Group 1:

Sean Avery, Ruslan Fedotenko, Kris Newbury, Brandon Prust, Brian Boyle, Ryan Callahan, Erik Christensen, Mike Rupp, Steve Eminger, Dan Girardi, Ryan McDonagh, Marc Staal, Jonathan Audy-Marchessault, Tommy Grant, Kale Kerbashian.

Group 2:
Brandon Dubinsky, Marian Gaborik, Carl Hagelin, Dylan McIlrath, Artem Anisimov, John Mitchell, Brad Richards, Derek Stepan, Ryan Bourque, Andre Deveaux, Wojtek Wolski, Mats Zuccarello, Tim Erixon, Jordan Hickmott, Chad Kolarik, Dale Weise.

More groups after the jump. 

Star-divide

Group 3:
Lee Baldwin, Tomas Kundratek, J.T. Miller, Pavel Valentenko, Sam Klassen, Jyri Niemi, Jared Nightingale, Samuel Noreau, Brendan Bell, Stu Bickel, Michael Del Zotto, Michael Sauer, Andreas Thuresson.

Group 4:
Peter Ceresnak, Blake Parlett, Christian Thomas, Jason Wilson, Tayler Jordan, Shane McColgan, Michael St. Croix, Collin Bowman, Chris McKelvie, Kelsey Tessier, Scott Tanski, Matt Rust, Andrew Yogan, Marty Biron, Chad Johnson, Henrik Lundqvist, Jason Missiaen, Scott Stajcer, Cameron Talbot.

There have been no tryout players brought in this season. You can take that in one of two ways. One, you can assume there was no talent left unsigned that the Rangers were interested in. Or two, the Rangers feel they have enough youth to challenge for spots as it is, and they want this team to stay as young as possible. My vote is on two. 

Groups two and four has many familiar faces from the Traverse City Tournament, it should be fun to see how they preform.

We'll be updating you guys as the day goes on. But for now, thoughts on all this?

So all the players

Are either under contract by the Rangers/Whale or the Rangers own their rights?

Marian Gabroik is not skating today

No injury concerns, he attended Pavol Demitra’s services in Slovokia and is either not back or is not ready to skate today.

What's the deal?

I’m fairly new to the blog, started reading about halfway through last season. I keep seeing jokes about Talbot but I’m totally in the dark as to why. Could someone clue me in?

by Graves on Sep 16, 2011 12:36 PM EDT up reply actions  

It’s a running joke on Blueshirt Banter… he was called up for one game immediately after Biron got injured (I think), didn’t see any ice, and we lost (I think in overtime?)… someone made a joke blaming Cam Talbot for everything to do with the loss, and it escalated from there… I think Jim even got some hate mail from a friend of Cam’s as the word got around :P

Think we lost in a shootout tho

Aha, I see now, thanks fellas!

by Graves on Sep 16, 2011 2:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

Glad that's been cleared up

I was with Graves on that one. Started reading last year and had no idea as to why Talbot was the whipping boy for the entire blog. Now I feel comfortable to send my share of zingers his way

Can talbot is the embodiment of all that is wrong with hockey, and the world, today.

I heard he sabotaged the Russian plane too… the bastard.

It’s a widely known fact, I think pope John Paul was the first to say it

by teknics on Sep 17, 2011 8:59 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

Hmm, based on the schedule Brandon posted, Group 4 would seem to have a major advantage during the scrimmages, considering it has all 6 goalies that are in camp.

I’ve been hoping to see Johnson on LW. should be a pretty good shutdown lineup when all 6 hit the ice.

by teknics on Sep 16, 2011 12:12 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

I’m assuming Biron’s the shootout wizard with that group…

I’m also assuming Missiaen will be taking lessons from Hank on his five hole… it’s bigger than Valiquette’s (wasn’t he 6’8" as well?).

by Kritikal on Sep 16, 2011 12:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think they're going to separate the goalies

once scrimmages begin. Tweets made it seem like Torts wanted them together in a group for fitness test, since they all have to skate in full equipment.

Nah, I doubt that’s true. They’re definitely going to ice 6 goalies at once. Biron will be the designated “fire the puck down at the open net” guy that hangs out behind the net, while the other 5 close off the entire net.

Seems logical to me, why would they split them up that’d leave group 4 shorthanded

I get my rumors from Eklund

they have to be true ….

rofl… I feel bad for all the fodder that give that cretin site hits and ad revenue… truly the bottom rung.

by Kritikal on Sep 16, 2011 3:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

+100 to this...

thats the first thing i noticed….

i guess the rest of the squad is so weak that groups 1 – 3 don’t get to use goalies.

In Prust we Trust

we need to get cam newton before the panther’s get off lock down cause eli cant (QB) by hisselfall this saeson also we need plax back to cause smith is the best (WR) we got nd plax cant help smith nd the team out….. do that nd we have a a shout at the superblow

JAM

Anyone notice how much J.A.M. group 1 has.

by jigblahdah on Sep 16, 2011 12:00 PM EDT reply actions  

Nah… Christensen is driving the bus he threw Avery under… went to finish the job and crashed into an industrial-sized bottle of jam (since his driving is as inconsistent as his play on the ice)… now everyone’s got some!

by Kritikal on Sep 16, 2011 12:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

Christensen is strawberry preserves

by teknics on Sep 16, 2011 12:56 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

He's not worthy...

He’s one of those “No Frills” versions… you know, a plain can labelled “Smushed Strawberry” or something along those lines…

by Kritikal on Sep 16, 2011 12:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

Wade Redden will report directly to Hartford.

The ultimate indignity and act of mercy at the same time.

They don’t want him ruining 24/7

His 70’s porn stache was deemed to offensive for HBO.

His wife will be reporting to NY camp however as per HBO request.

by teknics on Sep 16, 2011 3:47 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

I thought he wanted to play in the NHL

Thought he was going to walk away and have his contract voided
