Zac Jones to make Rangers debut amid major hype
NY Post
Let’s just say the hype the last time a defenseman joined the Rangers lineup straight out of UMass for a late-season game didn’t quite match the buildup preceding Zac Jones’ NHL debut that will occur Thursday night at the Garden against the Flyers.
Fact is, there was no hype when Thomas Pock was inserted into the Blueshirts’ lineup on March 23, 2004 in a Garden match against the Penguins. Pock, undrafted, signed as a free agent on…well, March 23, 2004. The native of Austria not only played hours later, but scored a 55-footer late in the third period of the team’s 5-2 defeat in which he played 14:25 while paired primarily with Dale Purinton.More Related News
