    What’s going on Blueshirts Fans! The guys from The Healthy Scratches A Blueshirts Podcast are back to talk more New York Rangers hockey.

    The Rangers continue to play bad hockey going 1-2-0 this past week as the team keeps going in the wrong direction of the standings.

    AJ, Dan and Nick discuss the last 3 games and what is not working for this team.

    The guys also discuss the Rangers future and where they go from here. How would they fix this roster? What direction should this team head in? The guys talk about Chris Drury’s decisions and what he should have done this past offseason and how it is too late now to get some of the value he could have received.

    What’s going on Blueshirts Fans! The guys from The Healthy Scratches A Blueshirts Podcast are back to talk more New York Rangers hockey.

    The Rangers continue to play some really poor hockey going 1-4-0 on the 5 game home stand. They have lost 8 out of 10 games and things continue to go in the wrong direction for this Rangers team.

    AJ, Dan and Nick discuss the last 3 games of this home stand against the Penguins, Kraken and Blackhawks and why they are not impressed with this team at all and the direction they are heading. It brings up a lot of questions with the guys as to what the Rangers should do.

    Also, they discuss the big transactions for the Rangers this past Friday. Which were the Jacob Trouba trade and the Igor Shesterkin extension. What do these moves mean for the now and the future of this team? Did the Rangers win the Trouba deal at first glance? Will this fix the issues they clearly have in the locker room?

    The Rangers have also created a lot of discussion around Brady Tkachuk and the rumor of him possibly being traded to the Rangers. What would the guys offer to acquire him and bring him to New York? Also, is Dylan Larkin a possibility if Chris Drury is really trying to shake up the Rangers roster and give this team a boost?

    Find out what AJ, Dan and Nick had to say about all of this on this episode of The Healthy Scratches A Blueshirts Podcast.

    Nov 20 2024

    What’s going on Blueshirts Fans! The guys from The Healthy Scratches A Blueshirts Podcast are back to talk more New York Rangers hockey.

    The Rangers went 2-1-0 this week getting a solid 4 points. AJ, Dan and Nick discuss what could have been better for the Rangers this past week, even with getting 2 wins. Was the Sharks game a big concern? Should the Rangers have done more against the Kraken on Sunday night?

    Also, the guys talk about the scary hit taken by Filip Chytil and what to expect from the aftermath of this hit. We got great news before the recording that he does not have another concussion. What does this mean for his availability and more importantly what does this mean for his health going forward.

    The guys go around the league to discuss the shocking news of Jim Montgomery being fired by the Boston Bruins. Why did they fire him so soon and is this a bad look for the Bruins organization and the season they could have? The Washington Capitals were another point of discussion for the boys as they have had a surprisingly strong start to the season. Who deserves the credit for the start they are having?

    Also, the guys give their predictions for the week ahead out in Western Canada for the New York Rangers. So be sure to listen to the all new episode of The Healthy Scratches A Blueshirts Podcast.

    Nov 13 2024

    What’s going on Blueshirts Fans! The guys from The Healthy Scratches A Blueshirts Podcast are back to talk more New York Rangers hockey.

    The Rangers had what could be considered the worst 1-1-0 week a team could have and definitely the worst since this podcast has began. And the guys let the team hear it. Guess who ended up being the most vocal of AJ, Dan and Nick though?

    Also, the guys talk about what needs to change for this team. Is it the defense? Is it the 5 v 5 play? One thing is for sure that it is not on the goaltending. The guys discuss how good Quick and Igor have been to start the year and why they have been the reason for the Rangers success. Also they preview the week ahead and what they want to see the Rangers improve on.

    The guys go around the league to discuss the red hot start that the Winnipeg Jets have been on. They also have a conversation about the 2024 Hall of Fame class. AJ, Dan and Nick reflect on a few of the guys that they all watched as kids that were selected to this years class. Congratulations to those that are the elected Hall of Famers this year.

    Did you guys figure out who was the most vocal, if not be sure you all listen to this episode of The Healthy Scratches A Blueshirts Podcast to find out.

    What’s going on Blueshirts Fans! The guys from The Healthy Scratches A Blueshirts Podcast are back to talk more New York Rangers hockey.

    The Rangers had a solid 2-1-0 week this past week, but AJ, Dan and Nick were not impressed at all by a 4 point week. What went wrong with the Rangers this week even though they won 2 of 3? Is there reason for concern even with the 8-2-1 start?

    Also, the guys discuss Mika Zibanejad’s early season struggles again. Is he the key to the Rangers making a run later in the year? Will the line changes that Laviolette made help Mika improve? Will it help the Rangers create more offense in general 5v5?

    The guys go around the league as well and discuss all the big stories and news from the early NHL season. Is Carolina still legit (Dan told us and he is right they are)? Who will pull away for the 2 and 3 spots in the Atlantic Division? Is Colorado in trouble with all the injuries they have?

    Also what predictions do they have for the week coming up for the Rangers? Make sure you all listen to this episode of The Healthy Scratches A Blueshirts Podcast.
