#53 w/ Katie Baker: Old Problems Return as the Rangers Stumble Out of the Gate

Blueshirt Bandwidth returns with a special guest— The Ringer’s Katie Baker—to dissect the Rangers’ season-opening flop and what it really says about this team. Joe, Eric, and Katie dive deep into Noah Laba’s surprise roster spot, Scott Morrow’s puzzling demotion, and why the Rangers still can’t seem to shake old habits. They debate whether New York actually believes it’s a Stanley Cup contender, what to make of Conor Sheary’s addition, and the big-picture question of speed—or lack thereof—across the roster. Plus: what Connor McDavid’s “McSensible” contract extension means for the league and why the Rangers may have missed their shot on Jake Guentzel.
