PERMANENTLY ON A PEDESTAL
FOR UP-TO-THE-MINUTE COVERAGE, VISIT THN.COM 44 DANNY DEKEYSER: MICHIGAN ROOTS RUN DEEP 46 NATHAN MACKINNON: ALL PUMPED UP IMAGINE TAKING THE ice with two linemates. One is the guy you play with every day, your longtime friend, someone you know inside and out. The other is the greatest player of the past decade. It’s safe to say the first guy would have to do something spectacular to stand out more than the second. That’s what happened when Brad Marchand played with Patrice Bergeron and Sidney Crosby in Pittsburgh Sept. 14 for a World Cup exhibition match between Canada and Russia. Halfway through the first period, Crosby threaded a pass to Bergeron, who darted between Dmitry Orlov and Artem Anisimov, dangled and roofed a laser of a backhand over Sergei Bobrovsky’s shoulder.

Simple color scheme and script logo on the front, plus…

JIMMY VESEY POS LW AGE 23 HT 6-3 WT 207 LBS DRAFT 66th overall by Nashville in 2012, signed with NYR THIS IS THE moment Jimmy Vesey had been waiting for. After an eight-month saga filled with contract negotiations and speculation about his future, the 2016 Hobey Baker Award winner was able to pull on a New York Rangers uniform, emblazoned with No. 26, and play a game. It didn’t matter that it was in front of a paltry crowd of mostly scouts at a community rink in northern Michigan on a Friday afternoon. “It was special, my first pro game in a way,” Vesey said. “Putting on the Rangers jersey and seeing my name on the back, that was a really cool feeling.” For Vesey, the Traverse City prospects tournament marked the end of…
