The media credential list on display at the MSG/NYRangers practice facility in Tarrytown, New York looked like a Who's Who of sportswriters (Klein from the Times, Kwak and Hackel from Sports Illustrated). And why not? The media capital of the world has not shortage of hockey specialists, and the Rangers practice facility is on everyone's GPS favorites. And this collection of American prospects is a worth all 4 looks: Sunday, Monday (x2) and Tuesday, starting with super prospect Seth Jones. He is one of 3 right shooting defensemen that expect to have lengthy NHL careers: Jacob Trouba (Winnipeg, 9th overall pick in 2012) and Connor Murphy (Phoenix 20th overall in 2011).
The pace was furious, the kids provided excellent sound bites, and there was a bit of news. Despite a dubious performance at last year's WJC and a recent hip injury, the starting goaltending job is John Gibson's to lose. The Pittsburgh native is a second round pick of Pittsburgh. There is a 6'5" octopus from Providence College named Jon Gillies that is supposed to be lights out, great stats for mediocre team.
More items from tomorrow...big shoot day for NHL
