Stepan More Excited Than Nervous

Newyorkrangers.com has this quote from Derek Stepan on how he's feeling just hours before his first NHL game...

“My mindset is that it’s a hockey a game and I have to prepare myself to play,” said Stepan. “I think I am more excited than nervous.”

...kid's got ice in his veins. Knowing he's going to be making his NHL debut makes me that much more excited for tonight.

Torts on Stepan...

“I think he embraces all of his challenges and looks at it as an opportunity,” Tortorella said of Stepan. “I think he’ll be a good player for us tonight.”

Agree- Steps will contribute offensively somehow-either a goal or an assist. I have to go one better and say 4-2 NYR's.
