“#Rangers practice gets intense before trip<\/a> to Toronto bubble<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Finally.<\/p>\n

After months of speculation, weeks of planning and days of preparation, the Rangers made their way to Toronto. Sunday afternoon, following their final practice at their Westchester training facility, off they went into the wild blue yonder, off they went into the bubble.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that today is here, I think everyone is pretty excited, the energy around the room was kind of giddy,\u201d Marc Staal before the organization\u2019s 52-person traveling party boarded their charter to the Unprecedented. \u201cThe last week or so we\u2019ve been just waiting to go.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think everyone is itching to play competitive hockey again. We\u2019re excited to go and excited for the challenge ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

There will be two days of practice prior to Wednesday\u2019s exhibition tilt against the Islanders that should not be imbued with significance beyond any exhibition match. There will then be an off day and another day of practice before the competitive hockey begins on Saturday at high noon in Game<\/a> 1 of the best-of-five qualifying round against the Hurricanes.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur guys are excited to get going. They\u2019re excited to get to Toronto and feel the bubble environment,\u201d David Quinn said. \u201cWe\u2019re one day closer to playing a playoff game and that\u2019s kind of where we\u2019re at.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to get up there and continue what we\u2019ve been doing here, build it brick by brick and day by day and take another step forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s practice was the most up-tempo yet of these pre-tournament workouts and it also featured the most urgent on-ice messaging from the coach, whose intermittent, loud, raspy observations\/commands such as, \u201cSkate and go to the net \u2026 a lot of cheating here!\u201d and \u201cNo gliding!\u201d carried through the glass.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of things we talked about as a group was, \u2018If you\u2019re not going to do it on Aug. 1, don\u2019t do it today,\u2019 \u201d Quinn said. \u201cThat\u2019s the [mentality] we\u2019re trying to create over the next four or five days, and that way there won\u2019t be this big shock value when the games start on the first. Nothing will surprise us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The coach said he thought the bubble environment would be similar to an NCAA basketball or hockey tournament in which games are going around the clock. It would also seem tantamount to a youth hockey tournament, where players do nothing but go play at the rink and then return to their respective motels for frivolity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is going to be unique, but I think our guys have done a good job keeping it as normal as possible under these circumstances,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019re going to be in a hotel, you\u2019re going to have some meals and watch hockey, which is really what they do on the road, anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rangers are among the East\u2019s seven qualifying teams (all but the Penguins) that will be bivouacked downtown at the Royal York Hotel. It is a short walk to the arena, where three games are on the schedule for each of the first nine days, other than Aug. 2, when there will be two matches. That is if all of the qualifying rounds go the full five games. Three games are scheduled for each day through the qualifiers in Edmonton, which is the hub bubble for the West and will be host to both conference finals and the Stanley Cup final.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce we get to Toronto and get kind of situated in the hotel and find out what our day-to-day life is going to be like, all you can do is embrace it,\u201d Staal said. \u201cThere\u2019s no point in looking at it negatively. We\u2019re going in with a positive attitude and going to have fun with it as much as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know it\u2019s hard for guys who are going to miss their family and friends, but it is what it is and we\u2019ve just got to go in and try and enjoy it. I think that will translate to more positive attitude and better energy on the ice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rangers entire operation has been diligent in maintaining protocols established by the league throughout the Phase 2 informal workouts and Phase 3 training camp. The players have been respectful of the moment. The same responsibility app<\/a>lies away from home.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s certainly an opportunity to show your selflessness,\u201d Quinn said. \u201cThere are going to be circumstances we\u2019re not used to and everybody knows the consequences if they veer off the protocol. Our guys have done a great job here in New York and I\u2019m fully confident that will continue and they\u2019ll do what they are supposed to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is all about winning hockey games. There\u2019s plenty of time after this season ends to take a vacation and do whatever you want to do but now isn\u2019t the time. Selflessness is a big piece of this moving forward as it is in any playoff situation and we have a lot of guys who are selfless and committed to the cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Alex Georgiev skated with the extras prior to the varsity practice that had Henrik Lundqvist and Igor Shesterkin at either end of the ice. \u201cI wanted two goalies in the nets,\u201d Quinn said. \u201cI wanted to give everybody shots.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carolina first-pair defenseman Dougie Hamilton is reported to be in danger of missing at least the first three games of the series<\/a> after suffering an unspecified injury last week.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
