Broadway Block: a podcast about the New York Rangers

There was so much to talk about last week that we almost had to do a part two. In this week's episode, we do a deeper dive in to all the moves so far of the offseason. With most of the pieces in, and also factoring the subtraction to the lineup, it feels safe enough to begin to piece together the lineup puzzle. With additions like Dorofeyev, and Durzi, and notable trades of Edstom and Trochec...

The New York Rangers had themselves an extremely busy weekend to kick off the offseason, and have reignited our hopes in potentially reaching the playoffs, and at the very least improving the result from last season. The draft started out with the selection of Alberts Smits, and a huge trade involving two first round picks for Pavel Dorofeyev, an elite scoring winger from Vegas. Then Drury came ou...

The NHL Draft is finally here, and the week leading up to it has been nothing short of exciting. With a pretty bleak unrestricted free agency pool leading into this offseason, there seems to have been a large emphasis from GMs around the league to look at trades as a way of improving their teams. If you're unwilling to wait on prospects, and there's nobody to sign, the only way to stay c...

The '25-'26 season is officially over, and I can say for a lot of Rangers fans out there that this one is definitely one I'd like to forget soon. Despite a division rival winning the cup, a recently traded Ranger hoisting said cup, and moving down in the draft lotto despite having the 3rd worst record all season, the year was one of the more frustrating seasons we've had to suf...

As we come to a close with the 2026 NHL season, we take a look at the recent news surrounding Dylan Larkin requesting a trade. We also zoom in on what it could mean for the value of Vincent Trocheck, and whether it makes sense to allow players to request a trade without fulling waiving their clauses. Of course, we touch on the playoffs as a whole and how significant the game four win was for Carol...

With the NHL Stanley Cup Finals officially underway, it's hard to process how quickly the season ended and that it's already June. In today's episode, we touch on the upcoming NHL entry draft, and the recent news that former Ranger Manny Malhotra has been appointed as head coach for the Canucks, which almost certainly means they'll be drafting his son Caleb with the 3rd overall...

As we start to see the NHL finals picture come together, we zoom in on more of the John Tortorella news in Vegas and touch in with a former guest and colleague of John's, Ant SanFilippo. It's no secret Torts has taken the Golden Knights and truly gotten the most out of them. Since his hiring, the Knights are 19-4-1, finishing the regular season off in first place, and just now sweeping t...

With not much in the way of New York Rangers news, we take a trip down memory lane in this episode to discuss some of our favorite moments as Rangers fans, the best games we've watched or been to, and some of our favorite players that we grew up watching. We also take a moment around the league to chat about the playoffs, and found it hard to not gush about how fun this New York Knicks team i...

On todays episode, we chat with a returning guest to go over who the Rangers and their fans could get excited about drafting in June. The Prospect Don is a very knowledgable guy, who in this episode, goes in depth about essentially everyone in the top 30. We first cover the elephant in the room- Who will be left at number 5? We then talk about some of the talent the team could look to grab with th...

The Rangers didn't get lucky in the NHL draft lotto, but the depth of prospects at the top does look as though they can either escape with a good player, or potentially wheel and deal that pick to get a more ready-now piece. With a huge offseason ahead of them, the work begins now to retool the roster into a playoff worthy team. When you look at teams like the Flyers and Ducks in the playoffs...

On todays episode, we reconnect with good friend and host of Locked On NY Rangers, Jon Chik. Jon is a great guy with an unbelievable output, making content about the New York Rangers every single day, and currently ranked as one of the top NY Rangers shows in the world. We chat with him today about trade rumors, playoff expectations, and some of the standout players from this past season.  Today&a...

With the season officially over, we turn our attention as not just New York Rangers fans but hockey fans in general towards the beginning of the NHL Playoffs. In this episode, we chat about the season as a whole while attempting to highlight some of our favorite moments in a lost year. We touch on the players who stood out, the injuries that mounted during the course of the season, and dissect the...

In what felt like a season that most Rangers fans are eager to erase from memory, it honestly flew by for me, and is surprising to say is finally over. In this episode we reconnect with a previous guest Jennifer Streeter, who is currently reporting on the NHL, NCAA, and PWHL with Sports Illustrated & Sporting News. After a long time serving as a Rangers beat writer, and a Rangers fan at heart,...

With the last home game of the season, the Rangers fall short of completing an entertaining home-stand, losing to the Sabres after recapturing the lead briefly. In what has been a disappointing year on all fronts, some players have been truly entertaining to watch. As the organization embraces this new chapter, the apparent "youth movement" of players like Adam Sykora, Jaroslav Chmelar,...

After an electric goalie fight between Igor Shesterkin and Jacob Markstrom, the New York Rangers extend their winning streak at home to three games, as they continue to find ways down the stretch to leave feeling good about their performance. As much as I'm rooting for some lotto luck, it is nice to see them not lose sight and put up strong games, albeit a little too late and against some tea...

As we reach the end of the season, with playoffs hopes offically over with the loss to the Maple Leafs, we chat through this episode about the best usage of time for the final 10 games of the season. The Rangers have recently signed Drew Fortescue, a young and exciting prospect that could perhaps make his NHL debut sooner than later, with question marks surrounding the current d-core and Drury&apo...

The New York Rangers are a puzzling team. It took them the better part of the season to string together 4 wins, win a back to back, or manage to produce really anything to get the fanbase excited. Since the break, the team is 6-3-2 following the loss on Wednesday night to the devils, which doesn't exactly sound amazing, but if that was scaled over the course of an 82 game season, it would be...

The New York Rangers sure picked the worst time of the season to start playing good hockey. Since the Olympic break, the team has just one regulation loss, earning points in 6 of their last 7, with back-to-back wins by four goal margins. While these wins haven't necessarily come against the league's best teams, they certainly aren't taking their lotto standings into consideration be...

With just days leading up to the trade deadline, the Rangers receive blow after blow in what has been an absolutely miserable season. After finally getting Igor Shesterkin and Adam fox back from injury, JT Miller has been committed to IR and Fox in unsure about his future with the team. We unpack his initial comments, and the decision to double down on those statements even after being given an op...

With the NHL olympic break officially over, we anxiously look forward to Rangers hockey returning, even if the team is solidly out of a playoff picture. The final stretch for the Rangers leaves a lot of question marks, especially in the wake of team USA capturing gold for the first time in 46 years. We briefly touch on the excitement of the games themselves, and segue into how key piece of the puz...

With a handful of games left in the Winter Olympics, the NHL season resuming signals one last important detail for the Rangers - the trade deadline. Once the deadline passes we'll have a proper idea of the intentions of Drury and the timeline in mind to get back to competitive hockey. Will the deadline be a flurry of players gone to signal a lengthy rebuilding process, or will he hold true to...

With the NHL season on pause, we enter not only the roster freeze but the Olympic break while the New York Rangers currently hold the 3rd best odds at the number one overall pick in the upcoming NHL entry draft. Outside of some luck to get the 1st pick, which I don't think many Rangers fans are confident they could actually secure some franchise altering talent, we chat in this episode about...

The news finally dropped just as the clock struck 3pm this afternoon, signaling the NHL roster freeze is now in place. The bombshell that every Rangers fan had been anticipating all day, broken by Adam Schefter of all people, Artemi Panarin has officially been traded to the LA Kings for a underwhelming return. We dive in on this episode discussing the trade, which was spearheaded by Panarin's...

"The Rangers Retool" has officially begun, and as predicted in last week's episode, it was done very shortly after the letter was released to the fans. In my opinion the return doesn't blow me out of the water, but Carson Soucy was a depreciating asset and not a part of the long term plan anyway, so it's nice to get some value for him. As for the next dominoes to fall? We&...

With some time removed from the infamous Letter 2.0, we had some time to reflect on what the last 8 years has meant to the New York Rangers, and to us all, the fans. In this episode, we breakdown who out of the team truly represents "the core" and who makes up the list of players who can expect their time in blue to end shortly. The rest? It's pretty debatable. There's merit fo...
