Jackson Ranger · 07-20-2011, 09:52 AM

I don't know if this was discussed:

MSG Network announced today that it will telecast four New York Rangers games from the 2011 Traverse City NHL Prospects Tournament.

Amazing...can't wait.

omg omg omg! This is probably the best news of the summer minus the Richards signing.... Can't wait to see these games... McIlrath, Fasth, Thomas, Hagelin, Lindberg, Erixon, the recent draft selections... Excellent....

Stellar! Between this and HBO's coverage of the winter classic, we will be getting some great bonus Rangers coverage this year.

So who's going to record them via their HTPC, rip them to a small format and mail them to me on a flash drive?

Kudos to MSG. This is great news.

Can the powers-that-be that made this decision take over the NHL Network? I'm sick of watching the same playoff games over-and-over.

Fitzy · 07-20-2011, 10:02 AM

This makes me a happy guy.

Now we just need to broadcast the WJC games ad the US open cup.

Great News

Great news! Now if only we could skip this nuisance called "Summer".

SupersonicMonkey* · 07-20-2011, 10:10 AM

I immediately went and made calendar appointments on my phone to remind me to record the games on the dates in question.... Surprisingly though, I thought the Traverse Tourny was like the very last week of August... I didn't realize it was so late....

Yes, and could not immediately find the story on the Rangers site...

I just clicked on it and got the error as well. Also, it looks like the story is no longer there. I had seen it originally while looking at information on Jason Wilson.

I also just went on MSG's site and nothing is on there.

Very strange.

The Mouth · 07-20-2011, 10:36 AM

Blame Rosasco.

Pizza · 07-20-2011, 10:37 AM

Finally. This was a long time coming.

BrooklynRangersFan · 07-20-2011, 10:38 AM

Wait - is this true? Or has it been pulled?

EDIT: I get a broken link too. Argh, what a tease!

wolfgaze · 07-20-2011, 10:41 AM

Can somebody send some Tweets to Jim Cerny to hopefully confirm what was originally reported on the site? If the dates of the games were reported, then I'd have to imagine there is some truth to this.
