Video: Rangers And Thrashers Highlights (Update)
Update 11:15PM: The Rangers have sent some more quotes from Director of Player Personnel, Gordie Clark, but this time on today’s win over Atlanta.
On Chad Johnson:
“He was the Player of the Year in the CCHA (Central Collegiate Hockey Association) last year, and he showed why. He was absolutely outstanding in goal, and is a big reason why we were able to go a perfect six-for-six in shorthanded situations.”
On Sam Klassen and Tomas Kundratek:
“Two of our goals came from a defenseman – Klassen and Kundratek – and both were solid in the game on both sides of the puck. Klassen’s goal came at a key moment in the game for us, tying the score at one goal apiece, and Kundratek’s goal was a canon of a shot, one-timed from the point.”
On Dale Weise:
“Dale (Weise) played a solid game, constantly moving his skates and using the body well. He was rewarded for it by going to the front of the net and tipping in (Daniel) Maggio’s waist-high shot.”
On Evgeny Grachev:
“Once again, he dominated the game with his size and strength, and was rewarded with a well-deserved goal that demonstrated these attributes.”
Hockey’s Future has some video from yesterday’s Traverse City tournament game between the Rangers and the Thrashers.
