With Joe sidelined on long-term injured reserve, Eric is joined by Chip for a wide-ranging (and occasionally unhinged) episode of Blueshirt Bandwidth. The two dig into why the Rangers are stuck in the NHL’s murky middle, why this roster is overloaded with complementary players but lacks a true game-breaker, and what the Quinn Hughes trade says about New York’s asset problem. They also debate development failures, lineup accountability, the Lafrenière dilemma, and whether this team needs to finally pick a lane—sell, rebuild, or risk purgatory. Along the way: bad Rangers trades, North-South hockey, and the existential dread of being just good enough to miss out on real hope. Give it a listen!
