[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]
It’s AV's opinion. I think this is my 11th season now. I’m not naive. I don’t take anything for granted.
I’ve come into camp with the mindset every year, you have to earn your minutes. So it doesn’t change my mindset going forward.
I’ve been a Ranger a long time, and I plan on being a Ranger for a lot more years. I’m excited to get started and help this team win some games.
- Marc Staal
Be better defensively. I want to be trusted at both ends of the rink.
I've got to be physically stronger in front of the net and make the right plays when they're there.
Everything I get this year I have to earn. I'm excited for the challenge.
- Brady Skjei
We’re in a good place. I like our group.
Nobody has talked about the window, but when we beat Pittsburgh two years in a row.
Who would’ve thought that Pittsburgh would have won the Stanley Cup back-to-back with Murray in goal?
We have a good team. We believe that we can compete for the Stanley Cup.
- Alain Vigneault
