In one of the worst defensive performances all season, the Rangers get destroyed by the Washington Capitals, 6-3.

Rangers trade targets: Nick Bjugstad and Tanner Jeannot!! And could Patrick Kane still happen???

February 23, 2023 21:47 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MB

With barely a week before the NHL trade deadline, we're looking at two more dept forwards in Nick Bjugstad and Tanner Jeannot! If the Rangers can't land Patrick Kane, would they focus on depth and acquire one of these two players? Both bring physicality, penalty killing and a bit of depth scoring! Replaying an interview done with Gil Martin on Locked On NHL where we talked about the possibility of the Rangers reacquiring Tyler Motte (about an hour before it actually happened!) Plus, Rangers ...

Igor decides not to talk to the media after this one loss... and why that's completely fine and should stop being blown out of proportion.

Giving props to Connor Hellebuyck, who s...

Though demoting Panarin from the top line with Vladimir Tarasenko and Mika Zibanejad seemed like a bizarre move at the time, we have to give Gerard Gallant some credit after the Breadman has caught fire! Igor Shesterkin in the middle of a mini-slump, but the Rangers keep winning anyway and have now ...

Why Chris Drury and the Rangers are hardly blameless for this situation. From Ryan Strome to Jesper Fast to Barclay Goodrow, Kravtsov seems to be one of the only players not to receive the "Panarin bump." What could the Rangers get in return for Kravtsov?? Has Kravtsov played his final game as a Ranger? ...

Powerless play!! Powerplay is still a mess as the Rangers overpass and have way too many lapses in 3-1 loss to the Boston Bruins

January 20, 2023 05:00 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MB

The Rangers make too many mistakes, overpass and run into a goalie with his A-game in a 3-1 loss to the Boston Bruins. Chris Kreider returns but can't spark the Ranger powerplay, which is still a mess. If Vitali Kravtsov isn't ever going to be allowed to finish a game with Artemi Panarin and Vincent Trocheck (especially when the Rangers are trailing), then what is the point of him being there in the first place??
