I don't think the Rangers teams of the past 5 years have been the best conditioned teams and that's one reason they get out worked many games. I hope Quinn changes that and gets them into tip top shape so they can play fast and physical for 60 minutes every game.
Yes, I agree 100%. There has been much written about Quinn holding ALL players accountable and incorporating tougher practices. There is no doubt in my mind this is what the rangers need and didn't have
under AV.

Vegas has to be one of best conditioned teams in the NHL. That team has everyone looking in the mirror and holding themselves to a higher standard. A good example is David Perron. I didn't think he was ever going to be a hard working player. He's bounced around so many times that I thought vegas was going to be his last chance in the NHL. Now look at him.

I agree with you guys. If anybody has read "Losing the Edge" By Barry Meisel, it is an incredibly detailed and fascinating account of the 94 Ranger team. That Ranger team was the best conditioned in the league, despite its age, because Keenan would make them do an hour on the stationary bike AFTER games in order to prepare them for the grind of the season and playoffs. I have heard from a few sources, some reliable, some less so that the Ranger teams of recent years were...pampered a bit, we'll say. Their play on the ice certainly did not content that point of view and aside from Grabner and maybe Kreider, none of the younger guys seem particulary interested in fitness. I'm sure Kevin Hayes has not lifted a weight since May.
Speaking of Keenan, I mentioned this before, but it's worth saying it again. We had our season tickets, me and my Son Steven aka Jocko. Alexei Kovalev, was young and still needed coaching in the NHL. Rangers in 94 were playing at MSG, I think it was the Caps.
Alexei Kovalev was late getting off with his line, and missed his line change. Next whistle, he skates hard to the bench has 1 foot over the boards and Iron Mike points to him to stay on the ice. I turned to Steven, and said Holy Shit, Keenan is sending Alex back on the ice. This happened 2 more times before Keenan let Alex come off the ice. He was dragging,Ass.,He never missed a line change again.
I loved Iron Mike. Hope Quinn, is that type.

What a great video to watch, guys. I watched it start to finish. It's funny, I thought the game has changed more but looking at that half of a period, the tempo, the power play, penalties...frankly, it looks like a mid season Ranger game from 2018. Even Leetch is struggling to score out there! and this is in 199 fucking 4. By the way, GREAT shift by Kovy.

An interesting interview on NHL Tonight. Something to look at to hold you over until the draft next weekend.
