Broadway Block: A podcast about The New York Rangers

The New York Rangers are a puzzling team. It took them the better part of the season to string together 4 wins, win a back to back, or manage to produce really anything to get the fanbase excited. Since the break, the team is 6-3-2 following the loss on Wednesday night to the devils, which doesn't exactly sound amazing, but if that was scaled over the course of an 82 game season, it would be good for 102 points, and put them comfortably in the playoff mix. If there's any silver lining, Igor Shesterkin has been nothing short of incredible, the power play is clicking, and the top line of Mika Zibanejad, Alexis Lafreniere, and Gabe Perreault is simply a treat to watch. In just the last 9 games, the three has 34 combined for points and has connected for some incredible plays, demonstrating amazing chemistry. When the games don't matter and the points don't either, it's nice that there's at least something to watch, even without a winning result. If they win? I'm happy to watch. If they lose? It doesn't hurt their draft lotto odds. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

The New York Rangers sure picked the worst time of the season to start playing good hockey. Since the Olympic break, the team has just one regulation loss, earning points in 6 of their last 7, with back-to-back wins by four goal margins. While these wins haven't necessarily come against the league's best teams, they certainly aren't taking their lotto standings into consideration before the game. The dynamic line of Mika Zibanejad centering Gabe Perreault and Alexis Lafreniere has been white hot, recording 14 points in a 24 hour span, combining for 20 total points in their 4 games together. It serves as amazing benchmark for the potential the Rangers youth has in their system, and it doesn't hurt to have some fun hockey to watch, regardless of if it's too little too late. With a team comfortably outside of the playoff hunt, minus an unprecedented 19 game win streak, these last few weeks of the season can be extremely helpful for the organization moving forward to give them a better idea of who they are and what they have.Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With just days leading up to the trade deadline, the Rangers receive blow after blow in what has been an absolutely miserable season. After finally getting Igor Shesterkin and Adam fox back from injury, JT Miller has been committed to IR and Fox in unsure about his future with the team. We unpack his initial comments, and the decision to double down on those statements even after being given an opportunity to spell it out to the fans whether he truly wants to stay here. As we near closer to Friday's deadline, it raises even more questions than simply "who will be here after this week?" or "what are we going to get back?. The question now becomes- how long is this going to take if Adam Fox does get dealt this offseason?Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With the NHL olympic break officially over, we anxiously look forward to Rangers hockey returning, even if the team is solidly out of a playoff picture. The final stretch for the Rangers leaves a lot of question marks, especially in the wake of team USA capturing gold for the first time in 46 years. We briefly touch on the excitement of the games themselves, and segue into how key piece of the puzzle Vincent Trocheck may have only elevated his value through his showing in Milan. A key cog for the Rangers, who was left off the USA roster may also make his return tonight. Adam Fox, a no doubt cornerstone to the franchise, can prove the haters wrong in the waining months of the season and help cement himself back into the conversation for one of the league's best defenders. An article I wrote for Blue Line Station goes into depth about just that in the link below. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockAdam Fox article for Blue Line Station:https://bluelinestation.com/why-adam-fox-is-ready-to-silence-his-olympic-critics-in-rangers-return-01kj9jb04qrrInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With a handful of games left in the Winter Olympics, the NHL season resuming signals one last important detail for the Rangers - the trade deadline. Once the deadline passes we'll have a proper idea of the intentions of Drury and the timeline in mind to get back to competitive hockey. Will the deadline be a flurry of players gone to signal a lengthy rebuilding process, or will he hold true to the wording of the letter and simply try to retool the roster? Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With the NHL season on pause, we enter not only the roster freeze but the Olympic break while the New York Rangers currently hold the 3rd best odds at the number one overall pick in the upcoming NHL entry draft. Outside of some luck to get the 1st pick, which I don't think many Rangers fans are confident they could actually secure some franchise altering talent, we chat in this episode about other teams in a similar position that may be worth chatting with to drum up a potential trade. The state of the upcoming UFA pool has been long discussed, and the Rangers brass needs to look elsewhere to improve this team if they wish to turn it around sooner. Whether it be Thomas from the Blues, Huberdeau from the flames, or Tkachuk from the Senators, there are a handful of teams floundering in mediocrity that I would be  aggressively calling to make a deal if I'm Chris Drury. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

The news finally dropped just as the clock struck 3pm this afternoon, signaling the NHL roster freeze is now in place. The bombshell that every Rangers fan had been anticipating all day, broken by Adam Schefter of all people, Artemi Panarin has officially been traded to the LA Kings for a underwhelming return. We dive in on this episode discussing the trade, which was spearheaded by Panarin's leverage in the situation, and why I would personally rather have a 20 year old prospect than a late 20s pick in the current retool climate. I'm just as sad to see him go as I knew I would be, but hopefully this is the first positive step towards brighter futures on Broadway.Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

"The Rangers Retool" has officially begun, and as predicted in last week's episode, it was done very shortly after the letter was released to the fans. In my opinion the return doesn't blow me out of the water, but Carson Soucy was a depreciating asset and not a part of the long term plan anyway, so it's nice to get some value for him. As for the next dominoes to fall? We've doubled down, and believe another trade will be made before we record next week. It's simply not smart to wait until the deadline proper and hold chips while the league is fully aware of your plan. Drury's best move would be to set the market and let people fight over scraps, rather than be a victim to it, or worse, keeping his hand and bluffing until it's too late.Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With some time removed from the infamous Letter 2.0, we had some time to reflect on what the last 8 years has meant to the New York Rangers, and to us all, the fans. In this episode, we breakdown who out of the team truly represents "the core" and who makes up the list of players who can expect their time in blue to end shortly. The rest? It's pretty debatable. There's merit for some guys, as a handful of Rangers could surely net a fair return. There's also a list of players that would certainly do well with a change of scenery, but the overarching question is this: if this is a retool and not a full on rebuild like last time, how competitive can this team be in the next 18 months if it's gutted down to the studs in the coming weeks?Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

The New York Rangers are officially spiraling out of control, and the fans are calling for General Manager Chris Drury to be fired with loud chants of "Fire Drury" at back to back home games. It started with a smattering to Boston with a 10-2 loss, the teams worst loss since 2009. The problems continued on home ice in the following game after surrendering a 2-0 lead over the Kraken, only to give up 4 straight in Kakko's return to MSG. After Seattle the Blueshirts doubled that goal total, losing 8-4 in the Garden against Ottawa, where fans again chanted "Fire Drury"- this time just 5 minutes into the game after allowing two early goals. Where does the team even go from here? If Drury hasn't felt pressure from James Dolan, who in a recent interview gave a glowing review of the GM's management skills and even extended his contract at the start of the season, he's certainly feeling the pressure from the fanbase who has grown outwardly disgusted. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

After a rough OT loss to the Utah Mammoth, the New York Rangers were struck with awful news- they will be without their star goalie Igor Shesterkin for a period of time, and arguably worse news, Adam Fox will be back on LTIR after recently getting him back into the lineup. It's tough to say which injury will do the team in the most, but considering how well Quick has played, and the tenacity he has brought in the games he's played, there is nobody on the team quite like Adam Fox. The power-play was starting to show hopes since his return, going 5 for 8 in the small sample size of games with number 23 back in the lineup, but this stretch of games will truly magnify what moves General Manager Chris Drury attempts as the team nears the trade deadline.  Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With the NHL season officially at the 50% mark for the New York Rangers, they find themselves in a difficult spot for the future, with the next steps ahead very unclear. Do they part ways with Artemi Panarin, waiving the flag of defeat in doing so, and try to acquire some pieces for the future? Not likely, as that would explicitly take them out of the playoff race, and they'd be lucky to make the playoffs even with him on the roster. Do they make attempts to re-sign him, even though it hasn't exactly culminated in success for the Rangers? Or does the team look at other roster players like Lafreniere or Trocheck to possibly deal, while still keeping most of their core around? The New York Rangers front office has some tough decisions to make before the deadline, and 2026 is shaping up to be an important year for the future of the franchise. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

In a dramatic comeback win, the Rangers never seem to be boring. After trailing in the third period, the team rallied back with 5 goals for the first time in over 50 years, and have the third most 3rd period comeback victories in the league. They're quite fascinating, because this is the same team that dropped a lifeless effort to the Predators, and were able to beat on a team above them in the standings with a flurry of offense after a low shot total for two straight periods. As the team sets into a short break before the Winter Classic, let's hope they can put the year of 2025 behind them and focus on a playoff berth with just a few points separating them from the top of the Metropolitan Division. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

After gutting shutout losses to the bottom dwellers of the league in the Blackhawks and Canucks, with a non-competitive loss on home ice sprinkled in there at the hands of the Ducks, the Rangers have quickly found themselves in hot water in the absence of Adam Fox. Since going down to injury, the New York Rangers are now 3-3-2 with just one regulation win in the last 8 games minus their top blueliner. In today's episode, we take it as an opportunity to stray from our typical ever-optimist path, and highlight some of the glaring holes with the benefit of a large enough sample size from this group. Here's hoping Chris Drury has the same impression as fans do, because time is quickly running out on this group if massive changes aren't done. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockLatest for Blue Line Station: https://bluelinestation.com/a-necessary-reality-check-for-the-rangers-as-process-and-results-drift-apart-01kcn4xq2pjeInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With back-to-back overtime losses to both the Colorado Avalanche and the Vegas Golden Knights, the Rangers still found a way to secure 6 out of a possible 8 points in their last 4 contests, and find themselves in the midst of a tight race in the Metropolitan. With a short stretch of winnable games before the holiday break, can the team rally around some moral victories as they inch further in the standings, or will the season of mediocrity continue for New York? With key contributions up and down the defensive lines in the wake of the Adam Fox injury, it's going to be on the teams best players to continue their recent point totals if the team has a shot of embedding themselves in the playoff mix by the start of 2026.Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

After an OT thriller at MSG, the Rangers finally have a home win they can feel good about. In a game they dominated from start to finish, they rallied at 6 on 5 with the net empty and carried those heroics into overtime, hopefully marking a turnaround for their unlucky spell that's plagued them at the Garden. With a tough stretch of opponents coming up, they'll be playing in that arena quite a bit before the holiday break, and it's on the team to find some momentum from that victory over the Stars to help propel them in a stagnant Metropolitan race.

With another disappointing stretch for the Rangers, they still somehow find themselves in a very tight race in the Metropolitan division, which further complicates the task at hand for Chris Drury and company. Do we completely let the wheels fall off, or is now the time to get aggressive and make some moves? With potential free agency looming for players like Artemi Panarin, we touch on options around the league for trade candidates, players who could be shipped out, and what little wiggle room the New York Rangers front office currently possesses in regard to righting the ship, whether it be now or later. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockSteve's latest for Blue Line Station: https://bluelinestation.com/should-the-rangers-rest-j-t-miller-now-before-it-s-too-late-01k9xrm7spj2Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

Where could the New York Rangers realistically find themselves in the standings should this continue? It hasn't been all doom and gloom, with the power play surging of late, and one of the most healthy rosters in their division, but something is clearly still missing. In this episode, we talk over the nagging injury that JT Miller is still evidently going through (highlighted in an article linked below), the trade value in certain key pieces like impending free agent Artemi Panarin and former 1st overall pick Lafreniere, and the string of recent games that find the Rangers in 6th place in the Metropolitan, yet somehow just a few wins away from the top of the standings. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockSteve's latest for Blue Line Station: https://bluelinestation.com/should-the-rangers-rest-j-t-miller-now-before-it-s-too-late-01k9xrm7spj2Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

After a well rounded win, and finally doing it on home ice, the New York Rangers have reason to believe in themselves with the long-awaited return of Vincent Trocheck adding some much needed depth back into the lineup Gabe Perreault, the organization's top prospect, got the call up as well and slotted in on the first line with some power play time, and connected with the surging Lafreniere for his first NHL point. On today's episode, we chat about the win with one of our favorite connections we've made over the course of doing this show, Matt Mugno.

With three straight wins on the road in impressive fashion, the New York Rangers were up to their usual tricks at Madison Square Garden, losing to the Carolina Hurricanes in what is now their 4th shutout loss on home ice this season, and their 6th home loss on the season. It's difficult to stomach, especially considering they led in shot edge for most of the first and played arguably the best 12 minutes to start a period at MSG than they have all year. The good news? The team plays their next game on the road before heading back to the Garden for some much needed wins against two very beatable teams in the Red Wings and Islanders.Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

It's always much easier to do this show after a win, and the Rangers may have put some of you to sleep with their shutout victory over the Canucks, but it was a strong representation of the defense-first style they should be striving to play with. In today's episode, we talk to NHL scout The Prospect Don and cover a wide variety of topics, first touching on the game in Vancouver, the Brennan Othmann saga, and some young draft prospects deeper down the Rangers depth chart who could be key pieces to look out for in the next few years. We also talk about Noah Laba and what his ceiling could be on this team, what to do with budding forward Gabe Perreault with Matt Rempe's injury being long term, and a big "what if" in the Rangers next draft year. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With loads of optimism all year, the results are finally getting to the fans and unfortunately to us as well. As crazy as it is, only 8 games into the season, the New York Rangers find themselves in what I would call a must win game as they take on the winless Sharks. In this episode, we talk about potentially lineup switches the team could make as they seek more offense, some of the few bright spots of the season like Braden Schneider, and recap some of the more difficult games to watch this season. Is the sky officially falling? Not just yet, but a loss to the potential lotto winners in San Jose on home ice spells disaster for a team that is yet to win at MSG with only 1 home-ice goal to their name. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

The New York Rangers set an NHL record after the Oilers game but not the one anyone expected them to break. In the history of the NHL, no team has ever been shutout in their first 3 home games of the season...until Tuesday. Obviously the second the game starts for their first home game back against the Wild that record will only increase, and as much as their captain JT Miller has been quoted in saying they wont look into it, the pressure will be felt by the players and coaching staff alike to get out to an early lead. On the bright side, the Blueshirts begin a small road trip to Canada to take on the Leafs and Canadiens before rebounding back to Madison Square Garden. Is the sky falling? Not yet. But it could be soon if the Rangers can't convert their offense into goals, especially with the breaking news of Vincent Trocheck's injury landing him on LTIR until November. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With over 40 years in the business, Sam Rosen is likely the first person that comes to mind as a New York Rangers broadcaster. This week, we had the absolute pleasure of sitting down to chat with the legend himself talking about the current status of the team, his long and illustrious career in the booth, the famed "farewell tour", and some of the standout moments from his tenure with the organization. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

On this episode of the Broadway Block, we did a fun crossover featuring two co-hosts of the Overtime Chicks show, Jarrod and Jess. We talk about the expectations on the Rangers this season, prospects that have stood out during the preseason, and touch around the league, including the newly minted contract for Kirill Kaprizov.Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With the news only breaking last week fresh off wrapping an episode, we begin today's by discussing JT Miller's promotion to captain, and dive straight into the first two preseason games for the New York Rangers against the Devils and Bruins. Trying not to put too much stock into wins and losses, we focus on players that stood out in both a negative and positive way, further lineup questions as many players battling for roster spots looked pretty good, and touch on the new centennial jerseys that were officially released less than a week ago. I don't know about you, but I am so excited to finally be able to watch even just a preseason game! Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With the Rangers preseason scheduled to begin in less than a week, we've been privileged enough to finally enjoy some exhibition hockey with the New York Rangers prospects splitting the series against the Flyers in the Rookie Series. On today's show, we chat with Florida Panthers super fan BigCeaz, who shares his perspective on similarities between the Rangers and Panthers, key moments that set them apart, as well as touching on developing stories from around the NHL. In other Rangers news, the team publicly announced via social media that they have officially named JT Miller as captain of the New York Rangers, which broke shortly after recording. We plan to speak at lengths about the topic on our next episode.Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

Today, the New York Rangers began their yearly rookie development camp, headed by top prospects Gabe Perreault and Brennan Othmann, the latter of whom will now be joining his 5th consecutive camp, and the former beginning his first. All eyes are on these two as the preseason is set to begin in less than two short weeks, and Rangers fans alike are clamoring to see just who makes a big enough splash to make the team. In this episode, we chat about under-the-radar rookies who we'll have our eyes on, further lineup question marks in relation to who will fledge out the third forward line, and news from around the league as the Rangers ramp up for their 2025-2026 campaign. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

As we inch closer and closer to the start of preseason hockey for the New York Rangers, we review Metropolitan Division rivals and the offseason they've all had. In this episode, we also touch on the liklihood of players like Matt Rempe cracking the opening night roster, and the reasons Rangers fans should be excited about the year to come. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

Officially less than a month before preseason hockey for the New York Rangers and we finally get some word from coach Mike Sullivan regarding the lines and projected changes. In this episode we touch on an article written by Dan Rosen of NHL.com where he details a telling interview with Coach Sullivan. In the interview, Sullivan mentions Will Cuylle getting a chance in the top 6 and wanting to keep the tandem of Mika Zibanejad with JT Miller. Where the rest of the lines shake out is a mystery, but I personally cant wait to see that line in action.Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

As we count down the days until the puck drops for the New York Rangers, it seems like a sense of optimism is buzzing online as fans gear up for another season. In this episode, we talk at lengths about the captaincy vacancy, rank historic Ranger greats at the forward position, and chew over lineup combinations in anticipation for the upcoming year.Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With just two months remaining until opening night, we go over some roster ambiguity including the vacant captain role, lesser talked about acquisitions like Carey Terrance, and some recent news regarding former Rangers and their new contracts. We continue the theme of last week's episode and also touch on some under appreciated former and current Rangers, rank the best defensemen in Rangers history, and speculate on the current status of the d-man units. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With just a couple of months to go before the Rangers drop the puck on a fresh season, we go over the recent additions to the squad, as well as some lineup ambiguity, touching on some of the greatest position players in New York Rangers history. Will Mike Sullivan revert back to some previously ensconced line combinations, or does he reach into his bag a bit and roll out fresh lines we've never seen before?Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

As the offseason continues to unfold, we patiently wait for the puck to drop now that the season schedule has finally been released for the NHL. In this episode, we chat about which New York Rangers stand to gain the most under new head coach Mike Sullivan, the news about Kreider's recent hand surgery, and what to make of the rumblings around Artemi Panarin. Does he sign a team friendly deal to remain a part of the Rangers for a few more seasons, or do the Rangers allow him to walk and save that money for next year's free agent class?Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With the opening night officially slated as October 6th, we can start to count the days until the puck drops on the New York Rangers season. If you only look at the echo chamber online, it seems as though a lot of Rangers fan are counting the team out. In this episode, we touch on the Metropolitan Division and why the landscape looks as though the Blueshirts could sneak into a playoff spot. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

As we near the upcoming season, another week has past with little news aside from Dave Maloney officially being announced as the next announcer in the fold with Kenny Albert. This comes after a long time as MSG analyst and radio announcer, so the fit is natural and should compliment Kenny very well. The fans as well as ourselves are super excited to get the season underway and see what the newly revamped roster has to offer. As the dust settles on trades and signings, we cover the most recent news in depth, share our optimism for the future, and speculate who could see the most opportunity for a bounce back season and growth under new head coach Mike Sullivan.  Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

In what was an absolutely wild few days for the organization, it feels like hope has been slightly restored within the New York Rangers fanbase. Chris Drury deserves his flowers for unloading K'Andre Miller for, in my opinion, a lot more than people were suggesting he would get back. He wasted no time in free agency, signing shutdown defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov to lesser deal than he was rumored to receive, and on top of all of that, the money K'Andre made right after makes this entire sequence a slam dunk. There's no planet where Miller would have ever made 7.5 million dollars in a Rangers uniform, and with a bonafide top pair locked up with Adam Fox flanking Gavrikov, it gives the Rangers a chance to max our their potential with a skilled lineup that underperformed. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

The Rangers have officially elected to push their pick to the Pittsburgh Penguins for this upcoming NHL entry draft, and with a lot of speculation in the rumor mill about players that could or should become Rangers, there has never been more question marks surrounding the team. While the Rangers managed to lock-in their fourth liners, there's a lot of work yet to be done in the offseason to make the team look and feel better before entering the '25-'26 season. In this episode, we touch on players reportedly available, the offseason to-do list for management, and a little revisionist history with former Rangers that would be perfect models of players the team should look to pursue before the puck drops.Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With the first puck drop of the season still months away, the topics of this episode are mainly centered around the recent Matt Rempe extension, the Florida Panthers winning back-to-back cups, and the news surrounding which players could be the next to go. The Kreider trade panned out exactly as predicted in our last episode, with the return being on par with what was being speculated. What more can you ask of Chris Drury, who seems to be at the forefront of a lot of hate amongst the fanbase, for a 34 year old aging veteran?Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With a Chris Kreider trade allegedly on the horizon, we turn our attention to the return and what it could mean for the Rangers moving forward. The draft is just weeks away, so we chat a bit about a prospect I believe the Rangers are very high on, as well as the available crop of players reportedly available around the league. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

Today we have the pleasure of welcoming an amazing guest- Linda Cohn. A household name with decades in the broadcasting business, Linda was on all of our TVs growing up, and she just so happens to be a die-hard New York Rangers fan. From her idols growing up before she made her big break, to once trying out for the Florida Panthers in 2025, we dive in with Linda about the current status of the New York Rangers while looking around the league at the NHL finals, potential trade candidates, and which teams to model new success around. Linda was incredibly generous with her time, and frankly, we could have wrapped two hours worth with her based on how the conversation was going.

With rumors reported that the Rangers brass could be looking to move on from former first round picks such as K'Eandre Miller and Alexis Lafreniere, Joe and Steve take a close look at who is available in free agency, some fat that could be cut from the lineup, and peek ahead at the famed 2026 free agent class that's loaded with superstars. In addition to the players available, this class times out with a major piece of the Rangers contract ending- Artemi Panarin. With the cap expected to go up by about 12 million dollars, the additional 11.6 million from the breadman's cap hit would free up 23.6 million for any potential shopping spree Drury would like to go on. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With not a lot of new information out there in New York Rangers world, we pivot our attention to the current state of the NHL playoffs, the curious case to be made of free agency, and which Rangers could perhaps have played their final games with the team. We also tackle an "elephant in the room" in regard to the onslaught of hate that Chris Drury seems to be getting lately, and make a case for the moves he's done well for us. While he's not completely innocent in all of this, I think it's only fair to give credit where it's due. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

With playoff hockey in full bloom, and an exciting week or so after the season filled with hires and extension, the gossip is minimal in New York Rangers world.

Somehow the Rangers have had some news break in the last week, as the so far eventful offseason has officially began. The first order of business, Chris Drury lands his man and likely first choice for head coach in Mike Sullivan just days after he left Pittsburgh. Mike represents the easy choice here, as a safe hire with tremendous upside given the cast of coaches who were available as the season ended. Drury followed his own multi year extension by awarding his pal Sullivan with the richest head coaching contract in NHL history. In this episode, we review the current playoff landscape, and how we feel about the most recent news in Rangers world.Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

The sting of the season ending is almost behind us, and the New York Rangers may have already found their new coach; recently separated Mike Sullivan, former head coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Fans may also remember Sullivan's brief stint with the Rangers as an assistant coach, and many fans are hoping the two-time Stanley Cup winner can be convinced to rejoin the team that finished in first place just a season ago. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

In the wake of the news surrounding exit interviews, the firing of New York Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette, and the palpable disappointment from fans and players alike, I think it's fair to say we all deserve a long restful offseason. In this episode, we talk about some of the lingering injuries that players came forward about, and can hopefully use this time to rest up. From a management perspective, we touch on the moves we not only anticipate will happen but the moves we would also prefer to see happen, like the Rangers letting go of K'Andre Miller, putting a letter on J.T. Miller's chest, and looking at which coaches are currently available in addition to maybe holding out to see if a team lets go of their current bench boss. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

For the first time in a number of years, the New York Rangers season draws to a close in April- something that still doesn't feel real to even imagine. From the high highs of last year's conference finals run, to the extremely high aspiration both the fans and players had, this is truly rock-bottom for a team favorited to win it all at the beginning of the year. It seems as though a number of players may have played their last game in a Rangers uniform, and they very well could be currently searching for a new bench boss. Either way, regardless of how you feel about the current state of affairs, these are all things we will soon forget should the team ever win the cup. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

The New York Rangers have been an utter disappointment, and the drop-off from first place overall to missing the playoffs entirely should be studied. How did they manage to get such varying results with a team that looked pretty similar to last year at the start of the season? If you look around the top 6, every single player had a down year, but the issues seem bigger than that. Not only did the stars of the team have huge set backs, but there seems to be a huge rift right now in the locker room, capped by the bombshell information that head coach Peter Laviolette doesn't even go into the room after a game. Not just after a loss, the coach is nowhere to be found after a win. Ask the Cup Champion Florida Panthers where their coach is after a game. Enjoying a post-win speech with the fellas, that's where. Absolutely absurd look for a team without a captain. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

It really will come down to the wire with this team, having earned 3 out of a possible 4 points in their last outings, and the race intensifying from other team's success. The New York Rangers sit just outside the current playoff bubble, with crucial games upcoming against beatable teams. With his season at Boston College coming to an end, Gabe Perreault will presumably make the team and play his first game against the Wild on Wednesday night. Will Gabe hit the ground running and provide the spark that this team needs? Today's guest is a special one- Mike Brodzinski, father of current Ranger Jonny Brodzinski, who is in the midst of a career year with New York. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH

The Rangers fans just cant catch a break. After watching the team struggle to generate shots for the first period, mustering just two total on net before the first buzzer, I somehow convinced myself that it would be a good idea to stay up until 1am just to watch another devastating loss. The team has won just 3 of their last 10, and truly seem to be bowing out at this point. Even well respected players like Mika Zibanejad and Vinny Trocheck said they felt the team played well despite the loss...I couldn't disagree any more, and the fact that some of the leaders in the room feel this way tells you everything you need to know about their current state of unmitigated chaos. Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp - use the link below to save on your first subscription!BetterHelp:https://betterhelp.com/broadwayblockInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/broadway_blockTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@broadway_blockYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-4OSzH5NKz4EmhVCk0yaZgTwitter:https://twitter.com/Broadway_BlockApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broadway-block/id1646160199Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3KqBFrqn7maexzAnVeqCUH
