Its officially the dog days of summer, and with no real current Ranger news to speak of, the Shawn and Roc dove headfirst into tv shows and movies, before discussing some 2000's ranger teams, bad contracts, the Sather regime and much more. 

With Rocky Margarita on vacation this week, Shawn is joined by special guest and Rangers season ticket holder since 1977, Jeff Fortgang. We touched on the K'Andre Miller signing and some current topics, but mostly got to hear stories about the old MSG crowd, stories of Jeffs interactions with players, front office and ownership. Plenty of Sather and Torts dirt on this one!

Post Draft and Free Agency Recap Show.  We briefly get into Gabriel Perrault as a prospect, the signings of Blake Wheeler, Nick Bonino and several others. Where do the Rangers sit cap wise? What kind of deal will Lafreniere and Miller sign?  Will Lafreniere improve? It is July, but there are still a lot of questions surrounding this team. 

We are grateful to be joined by The Draft Analyst himself, Steve Kournianos! We dive right into Connor Bedard, Rangers targets at 23, Steve's take on where the Rangers are at and what needs to be addressed during this offseason. 

The Rangers have officially announced Peter Laviolette as their new Head Coach. Shawn and Roc give their thoughts on the hire, status on the roster, and what we think this summer will yield!

Expecting Peter Laviolette to be named the Head Coach today or in the coming days took a swift turn with news of the Rangers seeking permission to interview John Hynes, formerly of the Preds and Devils. We dive into Hynes, where this coaching search is at, Drury and his tenure so far, and a high level preview of the draft.

Shawn and Roc are back to give their opinions on the next coach, what we could be in line for this off season, addressing the ridiculous trade notions for the kids and much more. #NYR

After several lackluster starts, the Rangers beat the Caps convincingly yesterday. The re-emergence of the kid line sparks conversation, will Patrick Kane find his game in the playoffs, and should the Rangers have a Ring of Honor.

After splitting the 2 games vs Carolina and another comeback win over Florida, the Rangers still sit in 3rd place. Shawn and Roc really just dive into an open conversation about the franchise as a whole rather than breakdown the week that was. Its a different show, and one we hope you find interesting!
