GDT: Training Camp: Oh, Hockey’s Back

[RangerBoy]

Did the Rangers have any conditioning skates/bag skates? Under previous regimes, the Rangers spent the first day on the ice skating in circles.

So is Kravtsovs 6’3 accurate? He has been listed as 6’4 & 6’5 before. He looks noticeably taller than other players who are listed as 6’3. K’Andre is also 6’4 now though was listed as 6’5 before. Kravtsov looks taller than K’Andre

Doesnt seem like it and the plan is to scrimmage tomorrow as well.

Thats what I was talking about in the Gallant thread. Completely different approach than the prior 3 regimes. Almost a hands-off lax approach. Im sure the players appreciate it lol

He's actually 5'3, like posted previously here

That's the 2020 roster. Here's the 2021

I think they went right into scrimmage after testing day.

Can we buy Carp out?

I wish, but The Athletic just cares about clicks/comments and Carp gets them. Dude has had a wildly engaged comments section for years.

Just realized Blais took #91

 

[Lays]

From what I’m gathering in these clips that are being posted on Twitter is that Mika is working his ass off and Alexis Lafreniere finally looks like Alexis Lafreniere

Mika is playing at 200 lbs?

Thats uh... Interesting. He was pushing 230 a few seasons ago.

The diet dropped 20 pounds. Prob lost some weight from covid too when he was sick

 

[EdJovanovski]

If they insist on naming a C I give it to Reaves until Laf is ready. One of the best personalities in the sport.

Mika actually dropped 89 pounds this offseason.

Adam Fox Media Availability.

Reaves has really grown on me.

Ill admit that I didnt want him to come here and he's proving me wrong, at least off the ice.

We'll see if hes got enough in the tank to prove it when the puck drops.

For all that he brings, the draft pick was well worth the investment. People wanted that guy who holds others accountable and leads by example and he will do that. Love what he brings

The covid weight would have been regained just by going back to normal.

200 is even lighter than he was last year.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Reaves has a media job the second he retires.


Him scaring the shit out of Kessel when they were with Pittsburgh remains one of the funniest things I've seen.

“First guy to give a face wash” and “making the D scared”…the man is self aware

I'm curious to see how he plays at this weight, I'm honestly not the biggest Mika fan; but I think he's one of the most underrated skaters in the league. People don't bring his name up when talking about fast players but he's incredibly fast, he's burned McDavid a few times. Wonder if he'll be faster this season. This may mean he continues playing a more perimeter style like he played last season though, I've noticed a shift the past few years away from playing as defensive & physically engaged as he used to. Maybe because of all the concussions

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Damn Reaves is jacked!

 

[EdJovanovski]

Damn Reaves is jacked!

Him & Kakko are practically twins!

He was clearly impacted by covid last year. I wouldn't say that his game was really on the perimeter once he got back to normal. He was engaging just as much as he normally does.





His defensive game has gone to shit, but that could have very much been a Quinn thing. We'll see.

See? He's Buch +2.

 

[ecemleafs]

what a f***ing competitor. bet laf would run over messier in a rangers alumni game then give him a shot in the back when mess tried getting up.
