Remember tonight at 8 PM, we will be on the air live for Blueshirt Banter Radio. Tonight our guests are Ranger legends Emile Francis, and surprise guest Gilles Villemure. Emile was a player, coach, and GM for the Rangers, and Villemure was an All-Star goalie for the Rangers, and shared the Vezina with teammate Eddie Giacomin in 1971. You won't want to miss it when we talk to Ranger Royalty, tonight at 8, only on Blueshirt Banter Radio!

Wow, this is so great that you guys are getting Rangers legends on your show.
Oh, and me 3 on the jacket. It inspired me to search ebay for some good vintage rangers jackets, and all I found were some tacky early 90’s ones.

We’re excited about it too. Quite honestly, we don’t think the Rangers pay enough attention to their pre-1994 history, so we try and fill that gap for Ranger fans. Granted, its not a history filled with championships, but its a storied history nonetheless.

Yeah.
Personally, I’m young (a college student) so I don’t have any memories of these guys.
However, being a ranger fan is a tradition in my family dating back to my grandpa (who is about as old as Emile), and the way my dad and uncles talk about the rangers of their childhood and 70’s…it just ads such a sense of legend to the rangers, and it’s amazing that not only is one of these guys who seems larger-than-life still alive, but he’s willing to talk to some rangers fan blog in the year 2009,

Phenomenal show fellas !
For anyone who didn’t catch it – it’s worth listening to the archive. The “Cat” could have gone on, I think, for another 2 hours…..Great stuff.

I definitely think Emile had another 2 hours in him. We are going to try to have him back in January, maybe get Stemkowski on with him, since there were so many Stemmer stories being thrown about last night.
