  • Eric

    What a nasally, insufferable leftist. These guys options stink, and they really don’t know much about hockey at all. Could be forgiven if they were rainman needs with insights but they’re both dumb and annoying.

  • Great Podcast for hockey fans

    The hosts have done a great job investing in their equipment and following other successful podcasters to improve the show. Joe and Eric do a great job of mixing in-depth discussion, funny banter and data-driven analysis to create a premiere Rangers podcast. This season has been absolutely miserable for Rangers fans like me, but less so because every week I can listen to this podcast and get some insight into my favorite team. One time I asked a question that the hosts didn’t get to, and Joe rea... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#109: Kucherov or Larkin? Plus a Rangers Panic Check
Q: Given what the Rangers need at center, would you rather have Kucherov for six years at $20 million or Larkin on his current contract?
Joe favors Kucherov as the better player, while noting that Larkin's lower cost could leave room to pursue another player such as Quinn Hughes.
#109: Kucherov or Larkin? Plus a Rangers Panic Check
Q: Are we worried about the Rangers? Is this a blip, or is Garand regressing and the team going to be bad?
Joe says the Rangers remain a bubble playoff team, but their inability to score and Shesterkin's injury make the path harder. He considers it too early to make a major judgment after a two-week slump.
#108: Bubble Team, Not Bad Team
Q: Do the Rangers still need to go out there and acquire another goaltender?
Joe says another goalie is only worth acquiring if the Rangers are replacing Dylan Garand, because an incremental upgrade would cost assets the bubble playoff team can ill afford. Eric raises concern about how much responsibility is falling on a rookie, while Joe says the team should give Garand a chance and use James Reimer to provide rest.
#108: Bubble Team, Not Bad Team
Q: What is this iteration of the Rangers need to be considered a real team?
The hosts identify the 2023-24 President's Trophy-winning Rangers as the last team that opponents would have considered a measuring stick. They argue that relying on elite goaltending does not make a team any less real or successful.
#107: Garand Theft Hockey
Q: The Rangers are a fun and exciting team, but are they a team you're confident in to make the playoffs?
Joe thinks the Rangers are good enough to be in the playoff conversation, while Eric notes their playoff odds were 61.1% and says their early-season point accumulation is encouraging.
