Joe and Eric are back with a jam-packed episode covering everything from Stanley Cup handshake drama to the Rangers’ high-stakes offseason ahead. They dive into Paul Maurice’s bizarre coaching etiquette, the Knoblauch vs. Laviolette hindsight debate, and whether Edmonton’s success means anything for New York. Then it's on to potential trades—Jason Robertson, Marco Rossi, JJ Peterka, and even Mika Zibanejad—and what the Rangers can actually do with their cap and assets. Plus: Kreider sentimentality, the Knicks’ coaching change, and why the Rangers (and Knicks?) might finally be run like real organizations. Give it a listen!

Joe and Eric are on the road in different cities, but they're still here to discuss all the news that hasn't happened in Rangersland. How much would you pay Will Cuylle and K'Andre Miller with the risk of offer sheets looming out there? Who would you trade Lafrenière for? Is the only way the Rangers are getting culture change coming from Mike Sullivan? Plus, who will be Kenny Albert's broadcast partner? Give it a listen!

With Eric out this week, Joe is joined by Chip23 (who still proclaims that he is not actually Chris Drury) to give his take on the upcoming Rangers offseason. Should the Rangers go after that big name former Toronto Maple Leafs free agent? No, not Mitch Marner. John Tavares. Will they go after Sam Bennett and, if they do, will be just be the next Bobby Holik? Give it a listen!

This week, Joe and Eric take a look at the NHL playoffs up to this point and wonder if what we've seen tells us anything about what the Rangers should do this offseason. How much can they do this offseason? Is building a team from goaltender out the best way to do it? Does it matter? Plus, thoughts on Joe Micheletti's retirement and who might replace him in the broadcast booth. Give it a listen!

This week, Joe and Eric are joined by Jon Basti, the head coach of the Sacred Heart University men's lacrosse team, as they discuss Mike Sullivan and the kind of difference new—and good—coaching can make. Will Sullivan be enough to keep Chris Kreider around? Does he believe he can fix Mika Zibanejad? Also, how on earth has Joe seen "A Clockwork Orange" but not "Back to the Future"?!? Give it a listen.

Joe and Eric prepare to welcome Mike Sullivan as the next head coach of the New York Rangers. What does that mean for Chris Drury? What does that mean for the roster? Will John Tortorella join as an assistant? Plus, why does Canucks president Jim Rutherford keep talking? He knows he can stop before he talks Quinn Hughes out of town, right? Give it a listen!

Joe is reporting in from his basement, and Eric is reporting in from Guatemala (yes, you read that correctly) as they address the Artemi Panarin settlement story and the firing of Peter Laviolette. What should we make of the player's comments from break-up day? Plus, the guys answer a long and thorough (and very good) email argument against Chris Drury's tenure as Rangers GM (and whose contract extension was announced after this podcast episode was recorded). Give it a listen!

The New York Rangers miserable season is over. Buckle in, because now the real craziness is coming. Chris Kreider's time as a Ranger probably over. Is Mika next? When will Laviolette be fired? Chris Drury likely won't be fired, but if you want him gone, who can realistically replace him? Plus, Calvin de Haan's pot stirring comments, and more. Give it a listen!

This week, Joe is joined by Blueshirt Banter writer and the guy behind Project 94 Ethan Haas on the show. How is Ethan still optimistic about the Rangers? How have the Rangers not fired Peter Laviolette yet? How badly has Chris Kreider's Ranger legacy been tarnished by this season? Plus Ethan explains why he thinks Mika Zibanejad is coming back next year. Give it a listen!

Joe, Mike, and Eric are all here, recording on the night that Gabe Perreault makes his debut for the New York Rangers. What should we expect of the young prospect? Is John Tortorella the future coach of the Rangers? That would be entertaining, but would it also produce good hockey? Is criticism of Chris Drury allowed? (It is, just make it good criticism.) Plus, could there be a dark horse candidate to replace Sam Rosen? Give it a listen!
