Renney: Something Unique

Its no secret that I despise the Rangers participating in the 1st Annual Victoria Cup against Metallurg Magnitogorsk tomorrow (see here). My main concern is that one of these Russian players trying to make a name for himself will take out a key component of our team. Its on Tom Renney to make sure these guys know that Metallurg is going to come out physical and ready to play. If the Rangers think they're playing a team similar to the over-matched SC Bern team who looked just happy to be there they'll be in for a shock. Here's what Renney said about how the Rangers will view this game...

"We have to treat it as something a little bit unique, it's the inaugural Cup. It's an opportunity to purse that and treat it with the respect it deserves. The opponents, too. They would like nothing more than to beat us. But the most important thing is to get ready to play National Hockey League hockey and take care of Game 1 against Tampa Bay in Prague," Renney said to Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants.
