Rick Nash isn't worried about making the transition from the Columbus Blue Jackets to a big market like the New York Rangers.
"I think I'll embrace it great," Nash said of the pressure that will come with playing in New York. "I think in 2010 I had the most pressure on me whatsoever with the Olympics being in our home country. I feel like hockey is truly a passion here where they expect the same of a championship-caliber team. I think they've done everything they can as an organization to put that together. I think pressure is a great thing if you use it in the right way." Playing alongside players like Brad Richards and, when he recovers from shoulder surgery, Marian Gaborik should help Nash have one of the best seasons of his career.
