"By now, everyone has heard what New York Rangers J.T. Miller said when asked about his message to the team heading into the Olympic break. I literally don't know, he said. Come back with a better mindset, I guess. Miller's words followed a dull 2-0 home loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday, the Rangers' final game before the NHL's Olympic Break."
"This week, Miller, forward Vincent Trocheck, head coach Mike Sullivan, assistant coach David Quinn, and club president and general manager Chris Drury are in Milan, representing Team USA at the Winter Olympics. Forward Mika Zibanejad will play for Sweden. The three-week break couldn't come at a better time for the Rangers, who won't play again until Feb. 26. New York enters the break last in the Eastern Conference and third-last in the NHL."
"You get some time away from the game, Trocheck said Thursday when asked about the value of the break at this point in the season. A lot of time away from the game, I guess, to kind of refresh your brain. Good focus, do what you can to get your body ready for the last push of the season and come back with a clear head."
J.T. Miller said he did not know what message to give the team before the Olympic break and added, 'Come back with a better mindset, I guess.' The Rangers closed the pre-break schedule with a 2-0 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. Miller, Vincent Trocheck, coach Mike Sullivan, assistant David Quinn, and president/general manager Chris Drury are in Milan with Team USA; Mika Zibanejad will represent Sweden. New York begins the three-week pause last in the Eastern Conference and third-last in the NHL. Trocheck said the break provides time to refresh mentally and prepare physically for the season's final push. Management issued a letter signaling plans to retool amid active trade speculation.
