About this episode
With Joe sidelined on long-term injured reserve, Eric is joined by Chip for a wide-ranging (and occasionally unhinged) episode of Blueshirt Bandwidth . The two dig into why the Rangers are stuck in the NHL’s murky middle, why this roster is overloaded with complementary players but lacks a true game-breaker, and what the Quinn Hughes trade says about New York’s asset problem. They also debate development failures, lineup accountability, the Lafrenière dilemma, and whether this team needs to finally pick a lane—sell, rebuild, or risk purgatory. Along the way: bad Rangers trades, North-South hockey, and the existential dread of being just good enough to miss out on real hope. Give it a listen!
