The last thing we need is a convict as our captain. Pass!

Did you know that '1st' settlers were Dutch and not British? You should be nice to me.

It was a beautiful country, until the British arrived

Exactly.

Massive praise.

What u think when we go into a new season concerning Rangers, @darko optimistic?

We'll pick in 5-10 range again.

Yes it might as well happen, and personally I looking forward to see some hockey on Tv again.

For us to push for a playoff spot our young guys need to break out. We need 50-point seasons from both Lias and Chytil, Pionk to take the next step, Skjei to take the next step and ADA to establish himself as NHL player.

I think he's the symbolic leader, but no way is he the verbal one.

Hank doesn't, by most available evidence, give locker room speeches or organize the team. He's been described by several players as very introverted and self-reflective.

Still, having a guy on the team who is a bonafide superstar and carries himself as such in his preparation and is in game performance makes him more of a captain and ture leader for the group than any rah rah speech could.

Callahan was deeply respected in the Ranger family. An ex-Ranger once told me that Callahan was a terrific captain, one of the very best in his checkered career. I know with some certainty that the Rangers told Tampa this summer that if they needed to move Callahan for salary relief, they would have been available to make a deal. I think that ship has sailed for the moment but I don’t doubt it might surface again later this year.

Late to the party, but, man, @Pavel Buchnevich is the king of hyperbole.

From the post on Quinn:

At one point during the day, he suggested his players could go through opponents if they’re in the way rather than around them.

I am HUGE fan of this line of thinking.

Hated the passivity of the previous coach.

I was just about to post this but you beat me to it.

Big fan as well

That quote makes me think that if we someone had the opportunity to draft Tkachuk, he would have been our 1st choice (after Dahlin, of course) he's Quinn's type of player, especially since he coached him last year.

Rangers had Kravtsov ranked as the 2nd best forward behind Svechnikov.

Link that says that? because I don't see it anywhere.

I've seen that, but it was quoted after the draft. They're going to say that about their draftee, and it shouldn't always be taken as gods honest truth.

Are teams allowed to start the training camp couple of weeks earlier?

Read the post above that

the forwards were not that great outside of Svechnikov, so I could see that they liked Kravtsov more than Tkachuk or Zadina.

Hypothetical. Hopefully he's able to play game 1.
