2011 New York Rangers Training Camp: Day Three Preview
Today marks the final day of the three day training camp for the New York Rangers. Today the pucks will finally be out on the ice, as two scrimmages will be taking place. The first puck drop is at 9:00 AM between Group 1 and Group 4. After the scrimmage, each team will skate for an hour each, before closing out camp. The final game, between Group 2 and Group 3 will take place at 1:00 PM.
Marian Gaborik and Artem Anisimov both returned to the ice for drills earlier today, after skipping yesterday's practice. Michael Del Zotto was also a surprise during day two, as he fights to regain his roster spot. The NY Daily News caught up with Del Zotto and here's what he had to say, "I learned from my experiences and learned from my mistakes last year, and it’s a whole different year and I’m a whole new person this year." Hopefully Del Zotto can turn it around this season, and prove us all wrong.
John Tortorella said that he expects some of the kids to get a shot in the first pre-season game, to prove themselves. He also stated that he would be disappointed if at least one of the prospects didn't crack the roster. There is no doubt that Torts will be willing to use the nine game limit, to see how some players react to the next level.
The final day is upon us, and we finally get back into action on Wednesday against the Devils. Thoughts on all this guys?

DZ...
I still have yet to give up on him, he is a great player that needs to get over his beginner’s luck rookie season, he has talent that you don’t see very often. His blue line offense is something that you don’t come across very often. As for Tim Erixon I think he’s ready to go, so I guess the question is who is he going to play with? Because I love DZ but they absolutely can NOT play together (except for maybe on the pp)…

My four wishes for today...
1) My sons football team to play well, stay healthy and win their opener.
2) Man U to put Chelsea in their place and win 2-0.
3) Rebound performances by Larry Fitzgerald and Vincent Jackson on my fantasy football team.
4) UPDATES AND LINKS TO IN DEPTH ANALYSIS ON TODAYS SCRIMMAGES!

Gaborik potted two in a 4-2 win in the first scrimmage:

Jesus, if Wolski reverts to top form with Richards and Gabby that line could be special.
