You guys might not know this, but i consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home i knew he was one of my own! And my wolf pack, it grew, it grew by one. So there were, there were two of us in the wolf pack. I was o- i was alone in the wolf pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought “wait a second, could it be?” And now i know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves, running around the desert together, In Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine.
Slovakia kept seeing enough in him to add him to the wjc roster every year.
I see him as more of a klimchuk or shinkaruk replacement on the wings, if there is a possibility of advancement from camp.

Another Wolf Pack player who deserves a shot and who could join Jensen on a reconfigured 4th line is Marek Hrivik. Hrivik, 24, tallied 41 points in 68 AHL games while also appearing in five games with the Rangers, recording one assist. He doesn’t boast the speed and quickness Jensen does but he does a good job of using his body to shield away defenders and to protect the puck. He also has experience playing on an effective line with Jensen with Hartford.
The Rangers are expected to lose this year’s 4th line pivot, Dominic Moore, to unrestricted free agency. Joining him on the open market is Viktor Stalberg, who frequently lined up next to Moore. The third member of that line last year was more often than not, Tanner Glass. It’s possible, if not likely, that both Moore and Stalberg will depart via free agency. Glass, a favorite of Vigneault’s, should still have to compete for a role. The Rangers need an injection of youth and energy and adding Jensen and Hrivik to the 4th line mix along with center Oscar Lindberg just might be the way to go.
