2025/05/22

With Eric out this week, Joe is joined by Chip23 (who still proclaims that he is not actually Chris Drury) to give his take on the upcoming Rangers offseason. Should the Rangers go after that big name former Toronto Maple Leafs free agent? No, not Mitch Marner. John Tavares.

This week, Joe and Eric are joined by Jon Basti, the head coach of the Sacred Heart University men's lacrosse team, as they discuss Mike Sullivan and the kind of difference new—and good—coaching can make. Will Sullivan be enough to keep Chris Kreider around? Does he believe he can fix Mika Zibanejad? Also, how on earth has Joe seen "A Clockwork Orange" but not "Back to the Future"?!?

This week, Joe and Eric talk about Sam Rosen. He's the only way we're surviving this awful Rangers season. The Rangers are still bad. And they're boringly bad. They're not even fun bad. Can we judge anything about any defenseman who is playing in this system and on this team? Is there a reason they're in any of these games other than Igor Shesterkin? (There is not.)
