Blueshirt Bandwidth #106: The Igor Aftermath
Dylan Garand cleared waivers, and now he’s the Rangers’ starter. How close did this come to disaster?
Episode 106 of Blueshirt Bandwidth is the Doug Lidster Episode—a nod to an unheralded No. 6 with a knack for big moments, which feels about right for this Rangers team. Joe and Eric react to Igor Shesterkin’s season-ending injury and why it’s no reason to panic, how lucky the Rangers are that Dylan Garand cleared waivers, the mystery surrounding Joonas Korpisalo, and whether the Rangers need another goalie at all. They also push back on the Pavel Dorofeyev overreactions, dig into J.T. Miller’s slow start and a broken top power play, celebrate Alexis Lafrenière’s breakout, and weigh whether Dylan Larkin makes sense for a young, winning team. Plus: what Will Cuylle’s next contract looks like, trading Igor for a future Connor McDavid, and whether $20 million is worth walking away from your job. Give it a listen!
