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 p…

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 evidentl…

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,…

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 m…

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 to…

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…

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 mu…

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 …

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 spo…

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 negativ…

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…

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 c…

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…

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 Cuyll…

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…

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 …

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…

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 Artem…

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 …

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 t…

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 Vla…

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…

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 …

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 sp…

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…

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 addit…

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 …

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. In today's episode, we take a look at current playoff matchups, speculate on who may be the New York Rangers captain next season, and fledge out some line combinations despite any real news…

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…

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 con…

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 hopeful…

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 beginnin…

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 t…

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 Per…

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 b…

It finally happened, the will to watch this version of the New York Rangers flounder helplessly has completely left my body. After what can only be described as a nightmare rollercoaster season, the Rangers have shown their true colors and flopped in the most epic of ways on Tuesday night. In arguably the worst showing of the season, the Blueshirts…

With the season back in free-fall, the Rangers may finally have given up on themselves and their coach, failing to capture the most precious points in the season. After blowing a lead to the first place Capitals, and letting huge momentum swings halt you against two wildcard teams, the Rangers lose another heartbreaker last night, this time on a po…

Rarely do I get this excited to talk about hockey when nothing major has really happened, but it really fires me up to hear how counted out the New York Rangers are. I've been told they're selling, they're not committed to the playoffs, they're not committed to the coach, but yet here we are sitting in a playoff spot. The team pulled off one of the…

For better or for worse, New York Rangers hockey is officially back. In true Rangers fashion, we came out of the break getting absolutely demolished by Buffalo, surrendering 5 goals in the first period, and ultimately giving up 8 goals in one of the worst beatings of the season. The team rebounded against Pittsburgh, a team on the playoff bubble, a…

One cannot help but be a little frustrated at this version of the New York Rangers. On one hand, there's a strong argument to be made that had JT Miller been on last season's Eastern Conference Finals team, or the iteration that went there two seasons prior, that the team very well could have advanced. On the other hand, it's difficult to watch the…

In what looked to be a far-fetched idea at the time, the New York Rangers and Chris Drury shocked the world, with only the second most surprising trade in sports this week. The trade for JT Miller was originally speculated to include Lafreniere, Chytil, plus a first round pick just to start, but the Rangers were able to only include the latter of t…

After a a nice little run to start the month of January off and essentially turn around the season, the Rangers face just their second regulation loss of the new year against the freshly reeling Colorado Avalanche. The game proved as a nice check-in against a contending team, even if it's without cup winner Mikko Rantanen. Though the team faired we…

With just one regulation loss to start the year, the New York Rangers really seem to have turned a corner as they enter into a crucial part of the season. For the last few years, Rangers fans have been blessed to know that the playoffs were coming for the better half of the season. Now, with the team floundering as it did in the months of November …

Things are feeling competitive in Rangers town, having secured points in their last 5 games, beating good teams like the Devils and Golden Knights, and dragging it to OT with the Stars and now Avalanche. In this episode we chop it up with Jon Chik, the host of Locked on Rangers, about his perspective from the first half of the season, current line …

At about the halfway mark through the season, the Rangers year thus far has been nothing short of a roller coaster- minus the part where we go back up. For a halfway check-in, we invite on Blue Line Station contributor, editor, and site expert Jennifer Streeter to discuss the current status of the New York Rangers. Tied for the bottom of the Metro …

In what has been the most disappointment I think I've experienced to start a season, the New York Rangers continue to impress by dragging out the stinkfest longer. The Blueshirts have now lost 17 of their last 25 games- a number I cannot stress more, since were no longer talking about a few game skid. Somehow, I see daily comments and mentions from…

In another game of one step forward and two steps back, the Rangers enter a really difficult stretch of games before the break and then return for more difficult opponents in a mad dash to save the season. Coming off a win vs the Dallas Stars, the New York Rangers took back to back losses to the Metropolitan Division Hurricanes and Devils who both …

If last week was rock bottom, then I don't know what to call this. The New York Rangers have won just 3 games in their last 13, a stat that didn't seem possible in the beginning of the season, but is now a concerning reality with a tough stretch of games upcoming. The Metropolitan division isn't doing them any favors either, with just 3 points sepa…

With just 2 wins in their last 10 games, tied for worst in the NHL in that span, the New York Rangers are entering into very spooky territory. With their season in limbo, they made a huge move just 25 games into the season by trading their captain, along with his 8 million dollar cap hit. The move seemed to be foreshadowed this offseason, which beg…

The New York Rangers are in absolute free fall. The team has dropped 6 of their last 7 games, sit barely in a playoff spot, and would be behind teams like the Isles and Blue Jackets if not for their hot start. Despite that start, many fans thought this is exactly what would happen. What is Chris Drury left to do? After essentially bluffing to the w…
