At Rangers workout, led by Brad Richards, at MSG Training Center, stay tuned for updates, interviews.

By my count, abotu 14 Rangers on ice for drills and now scrimmaging. No Gaborik, who is returning from Slovakia, as I wrote yesterday

Posted this in the lockout thread, figured I'd crosspost it here too:

Rupp wearing #17 now

Stralman listed as #6 on NYR website...

Halpern - 15. Pyatt - 14. Asham - 45 (probably for the # of games he'll be suspended this season)

 

[Loff]

Stralsy should've kept #32 instead of taking Redden's number. Ew.

So nice to see this thread--and this poster.

Guess no word if Nash is there?

Yep. Once I saw it was made by Loffen, I got excited.

Most of the varsity is here: Nash, Cally, Richards, Staal, McDonagh, Stepan, Rupp, Boyle, Hagelin, Asham, Halpern, Stralman, Eminger, MDZ

Rick Nash says he has no lingering issues from groin injury suffered in Switzerland. #NYR

Truer words haven't been spoken in awhile.

Not sure if this is the thread for this but has Lundqvist been playing during the lockout?

Where is Hank? And what had he been doing other than taking care if his little baby? Boy I can see him pulling a groin and having it effect the entire season.

Maybe in a Swedish beer league, but not anywhere professionally.

 

[NYR Viper]

Most of the summer Hank was practicing with some other Swedes over in Europe. Hank is the last person I would worry about.

Is that not a concern?

You can't replicate being in game shape though. Then again, if they started in October he wouldn't have been playing either. So I probably overreacted.

Yeah, I doubt many of these players really played hard enough to keep themselves in NHL ready condition. Some of them playing in other leagues might even suffer some consequences going from different ice sizes, level of competition, etc

We haven't heard about it a lot but I'm pretty sure most of these guys have been staying in shape

My thoughts exactly. Ah, so glad hockey is finally back

Henrik just did an interview with ABC yesterday. The interview is on espn.com. The link is in the lockout thread on page 16 or 17 if you want to watch it.

Henrik said he has been training the whole time. Obviously he has trained harder at different times when he thought the lockout was coming to an end and other times it sounded like basic training. He will be ready to go.


And yes great to see this thread, the pics, and LoFFen.

 

[The Gloaming]

I don't think we have to worry about Hank. He's a goalie that usually comes prepared right out of the gate. Some goalies struggle in the beginning, like Luongo. Hank will be fine.

Plus, I don't think I've ever heard a player talk more about preparation that Hank.

 

[Fitzy]

35 games for Hank in a 48 game season would be great for his stamina come playoff time... teams are going to be rolling all season long. Should be fun to watch.

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Yeah im hoping that even though theyll want to get off to a hot start they wont pummel Lundqvist with games early on, especially with no preseason. Biron is going to need some time to get back into gameshape because hes been sitting in board meetings for the last 5 months as the Rangers rep.

I wouldnt mind even alternating games for the first week and then get Henrik in there for two straight. It might even benefit the team defense structure to make sure they focus on that right away. I have trust in Torts and the coaching staff, I think theyll do the right thing.

after the charity game in AC, hartnell said that hank was already in playoff mode lol
