Rangers actually hired Ben Prentiss as a strength and conditioning consultant

He's based out of the rink I play beer league hockey at. A ton of NHLers trust him, even outside the rangers and I gather this isn't his first rodeo so I'm happy with it. It seems like anyone who has even a remote connection to the tri-state area ends up using him.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Been looking around jersey sites and twitter to see pictures of what people bought today. From what I can tell:

Fanatics jerseys = the trash they used to sell at Target and Walmart except they copy real designs now
Adidas authentics = Reebok premiers with a fight strap for $50 more

I wonder if places like Icejerseys and River City will ever get on-ice, Canadian-made authentics.

So instead of mixing and matching NHLers with prospects/AHLers like usual, this years Wings training camp is dividng the players into NHLers and "other guys" teams.
Which is just a depressing reminder that this:

Nyquist-Zetterberg-Tatar

Mantha-Larkin-Abdelkader

Helm-Nielsen-Parenteau(Athanasiou)

Bertuzzi-Sheahan-Glendening

DeKeyser-Daley

Ericsson-Jensen

Ouellet-Sproul(Kronwall)

is a maxed out cap team. And the GM of said team seriously thinks it can compete for a playoff spot.

This is what I feared... But knew deep down was going to be the case all along :(

Some places will end up with Canadian made on ice jerseys. Some Adidas reps are good and let you order them. Some are clueless and can't or won't.

I don't understand this tweet. Is Jay Beagle known for his speed or endurance? I'm pretty sure even fat Ovechkin would smoke him in a race.
