...that's a pretty awesome squad minus Kreider who is back at BC. Surprised to see no Chad Johnson in goal.

...we've been hyping these guys pretty good this offseason, so I've got to ask would anything other than a Traverse City Tourney championship be a disappointment to you? Leave your answer in the comments section.

What does this mean for MZA?

Kevin DeLury said...

Rangers may not be considering him as a prospect more of a free agent pickup.

Scotty Hockey said...

MZA isn't a prospect, he is already a professional.

And without seeing the other rosters yet, I wouldn't say championship. The goaltending looks ok, I don't see a ton of scoring there and the defense is big but not that good with the puck outside of the Islander Niemi.

Ok cool, thank you for clearing that up. As you can tell I'm really sweating this guy.

Like Scott Hockey said, "without seeing the other rosters yet, I wouldn't say championship." I don't know too much about other teams' prospects anyway, but I gotta think we have a shot anyway.
Scott, I thought McDonagh has decent hands, no?

Maybe Chad Johnson is not at Traverse City because they already know what they have in Johnson, a poised goalie with skills that will play another solid year in Hartford. If, God forbid, we need to call up a goalie, Johnson has a pretty good shot.

In any case, I like the looks of this team. Will any of this be televised?

Kevin DeLury said...

Per the NHL, no TV. Which is unreal.

Jack hard not to be with highlights like this http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/mats-zuccarello-aasen-bullet/81373069191c5c3119e081373069191c5c3119e0-127139513898?q=Mats%20Zuccarello%20Aasen&FROM=LKVR5&GT1=LKVR5

They are Rangers. We are Rangers fans. Anything short of a championship will never be acceptable. Period.

I was wondering lately if they considered MZA a prospect or pro. I guess this does answer that. Pumped for more offense already.
