Our medical staff changed so don't be surprised if the standards change.

Many speculated that our lack of man games lost was due to letting guys play hurt.
Also... could you imagine your first week on the job and telling Panarin "it's fine, you can play." And then having him get further injured?

I expect everyone to be super cautious until they learn more about the players.
 
So we're now throwing Ramsay under the bus after 30+ years of being the team's trainer? All of a sudden, his standards weren't "modern" and now the team operates on a "higher" standard. As much as Ed's joking, the practices are going full tilt, and this country club of a team maybe wasn't ready for it.
 
Surprised they wouldnt get Trivigno in this game. Or get Cuylle and Jones the extra reps. But its the Islanders. They always just dress their whole team against us.
Which would be a good test for Jones. I understand injuries are a concern and you try to get through camp without them, but a heavy forcheck is a good test for Jones.

We have an older team this year. That's going to likely mean more injury issues. Ramsay is not really a reason why our players got hurt or didn't get hurt. He might have helped some to return quicker from whatever injuries they had but he's not on the ice taking the hits or blocking the shots.
 
It would make some sense about Ramsay. This team was absurdly 'healthy' the last 2 seasons

while probably true, cant put it all on Ramsay. we had absolutely no depth and we made it 10 times worse with the stupid Kane trade.

We do not have an “older team”
By minutes we are one of the youngest teams in the league last year.

Its the way we are constructed.

Forwards - we definitely are one of the oldest if not the oldest. We are projected to only have 3 guys under 30 and have no forwards between 25-29. Though othmann and cuylle possibly coming up sometime this year could help the age. But still its a weird construction of very young and old with no in between.

Defense - we are probably one of the youngest with 4 guys , possibly 5, 25 or younger. I believe our entire dcorps is under 30. Trouba is the oldest at 29 i think.

Goalies - shesty is still young. Quick is old.

Thanks now "Two Princes" is stuck in my head. Why do I come here?

The opening hook is unmistakable.
