Blueshirt Bandwidth #55 w/ Jonny Lazarus: The Panarin Question That Could Define the Rangers Season
The Rangers are playing well but can’t finish—and Joe, Eric, and Jonny Lazarus have thoughts on what that means for Panarin, the kids, and Chris Drury’s next move.
It’s episode 55—the Ryan Lindgren episode—of Blueshirt Bandwidth, and Joe and Eric dive into the Rangers’ scoring drought, defensive resurgence, and the growing Artemi Panarin contract debate. After Joe vents about FanDuel going down just as the Rangers finally scored at home, the hosts dig into why New York’s strong process still isn’t turning into goals — from the top-six’s struggles to Connor Sheary’s unexpected promotion. Later, Joe sits down with Jonny Lazarus for an extended chat on the Rangers’ early-season form, whether Brennan Othmann could be trade bait, and what to make of Panarin’s future in New York. It’s part therapy session, part way-too-early trade-deadline speculation, and all Rangers talk. Give it a listen!
