Andrew Gross at Rangers Rants reports that the opening of training camp tomorrow brings with it John Tortorella’s notorious endurance skating tests.
Mike Rupp on his first year experiencing it…
“Obviously, this is the first time I’m experiencing ‘The Test.’ Besides skating around (during the informal skates/scrimmages the past two weeks), you’re not totally torquing it. Training camp is a good way to get your timing. This first week of training camp is a grind.”
Brad Richards on experiencing it again…
“Hopefully I can get through it without a heart attack. I wanted so bad to get back to it (said dripping with sarcasm).”
…i’m pretty sure all of us would kill to become a New York Ranger for just one day. Tomorrow would not be that day. I hope these guys are ready because it could get ugly.
Gross also reports that it is not expected the Rangers will have any NHL veterans in camp on a tryout invite.
