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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 registered their lowest shot total since December 23rd- a moment in time that truly symbolized rockbottom. This Flames team was coming off a game where they were dominated by Toronto, and you'd expect a solid push from a group attempting to secure a playoff spot. Instead, the former President's Trophy winning squad put up one of the saddest performances in recent memory. The only one who looked engaged was Igor Shesterkin, posting a .943SV% and even mixing it up physically in attempts to spark something from his team. In hindsight, maybe it's a good thing we extended our franchise goaltender to such a lofty amount. If I were him I would also need eleven and a half million reasons to play for this team.

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 powerplay goal to a penalty that should have never been called. To quote another hated New York coach, "it's all right there in front of us" but the group may actually miss the playoffs after winning the Presidents trophy last year.
