Another Year is Here But

On the eve of the 2009-10 New York Ranger's training camp; one can just imagine what is going though the minds of those who are attending this camp. It is a mixture of emotions ranging from nerves to joy but come Saturday when John Tortorella and Mike Sullivan blow the first whistle the emotions just might turn to horror at what they are going to reportedly endure.

In a way the Ranger prospects who attended the July prospect development camp got a peek at what awaits them as several of them told us how the coaches "gassed" them. If you don't know what being "gassed" is like then picture being pushed to the brink of exhaustion and then shoved not pushed over the edge of exhaustion.

During the off-season, we joked about John Tortorella being the next coming of Gunny Hartman from the movie "Full Metal Jacket." Tortorella's reputation as running a "boot camp" for a training camp is well known so it is going to be fun to see how Tortorella lives up to his word.
