About this episode
Joe and Eric kick off an early-morning recording session to talk through a sluggish New York Rangers start — and play a new game: Should You Panic or Not? Joe argues the sky is falling after back-to-back losses to the Sharks and Flames, while Eric counters that it’s way too early for a meltdown. They break down the team’s shooting woes, the impact of Vincent Trocheck’s injury, what the analytics say about puck luck, and whether Mike Sullivan’s system is working as intended. Later, they tackle listener questions about culture, communication, and long-term planning under Chris Drury — including what Plan B might look like if this truly is a “gap year.” It’s the “Michael Sauer Episode,” equal parts panic and perspective.
