Locked On Rangers - Daily Podcast On The New York Rangers

After an up-and-down playoff run for Artemi Panarin, we get classic Breadman, who shows good chemistry with his linemates, gets creative with the puck, and sets up Mika for a powerplay goal. Final takeaways from the season opener, including Jacob Trouba's clutch defensive play and why team chemistry is so important. The surprising development of Jarred Tinordi being claimed off waivers by the Chicago Blackhawks and Julien Gauthier clearing and being assigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack. Why it might be just what Gauthier needs. Looking ahead to the back-to-back against the Minnesota Wild and Winnipeg Jets! The Wild represent an excellent early-season test for the Rangers. How will the Rangers deploy Igor Shesterkin and Jaroslav Halak in these two games??? Episode 685. Intro song is "Leave the Lights On" by Passafire.

The Rangers get two goals each from Mika Zibanejad and Kaapo Kakko, but they lose their grip on a two-goal lead and are defeated 5-4 by the Boston Bruins. Breaking down each of Kakko's two goals. Several Ranger defensemen scuffle, but Zac Jones has a mostly strong night quarterbacking the Rangers' top powerplay and looks primed to start the season as the sixth defensemen. Playing together for the first time, Artemi Panarin, Vincent Trocheck and Vitali Kravtsov have a rough night. Igor Shesterkin fine after having a stomach flu. Why Gustav Rydahl (and not Ryan Carpenter) being sent down isn't a surprise. Did Kakko just play himself onto the Rangers' top line???

With Jacob Trouba now in place as Ranger captain and Ryan Strome now in Anaheim, conventional wisdom said that the Rangers would continue to roll with Artemi Panarin, Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider and Barclay Goodrow as alternate captains. Is that their plan, or are they considering a shakeup? We discuss why the best option is to go with the some four altnerates as last year, but we also acknowledge that there could be some other strong candidates. Plus, new-look line combinations feature Jimmy Vesey on the top line! And discussing Locked On New York Rangers Fantasy League Draft results!

Discussing six Rangers who are the biggest winners of the preseason and training camp, including Zac Jones, Brennan Othmann and more!! With Matthew Robertson no longer being considered and Libor Hajek already having received chances, Jones seems to have the inside track to the sixth defenseman role! Despite being back with the Flint Firebirds (and scoring twice in his first game back), Othmann made a favorable impression during his short time with the Rangers! Plus, several other Rangers impress!

The Rangers can’t find that fifth gear in a 5-2 preseason loss to the Devils. Sammy Blais establishes a physical tone, nearly scores and gets a chance to play with Mika Zibanejad in his first hockey game in nearly a calendar year! Rangers cut 19, and the most notable names are arguably Matthew Robertson, Bobby Trivigno and Hunter Skinner. Was Robertson ever a serious candidate for the sixth defenseman spot, and will we see him with the Rangers this season?? One minor concern from last night’s game, even if it is the preseason. Chris Kreider and Alexis Lafreniere both score shorthanded! Lafreniere and Kaapo Kakko impress on the penalty kill. Why I owe an apology to Ryan Lindgren!
