Blueshirt Bandwidth #57: The Panarin Problem and the Sullivan Solution
The Rangers’ power play is lifeless, Panarin’s ice-cold, and Lafrenière’s catching all the heat—Joe and Chip break down why.
In this week’s episode, Joe and Chip tackle a loaded agenda—from Vitali Kravtsov’s latest exit and the Carson Soucy redemption arc, to whether Chris Drury might have actually been right about Jusso Parssinen. They dive deep into the state of the Rangers’ locker room, Artemi Panarin’s future (and present scoring drought), the team’s offensive identity under Mike Sullivan, and how players like Noah Laba and J.T. Miller are shaping the team’s evolving culture. Plus, an honest look at the power play problems, what to expect when Vincent Trocheck returns, and the ongoing discourse around Alexis Lafrenière. It’s an episode that mixes sharp analysis, honest frustration, and a dash of gallows humor. Give it a listen!
