Let's just say some of these questions got Dave a little hot under the collar, and you don't want to miss his rant and the ensuing therapy session provided by Becky

Russ Hartman joins Dave and Rob on this week's show to dissect the Rangers west coast trip so far. With a solid win sandwiched by two lackluster performances, the Rangers find themselves mired in mediocrity at 6-6-1 over their last 13 games. Their inability to generate offense at even strength is a real problem that likely requires a solution from outside the organization. But is this the year to go "all-in" for a run at the Stanley Cup?

With the Rangers playing solid hockey and camping out near the top of the Metropolitan Division, the spotlight has shifted to the struggling Alexandar Georgiev.
