Blueshirt Bandwidth #61: The Fox Fallout and Schneider’s Window
Panarin to the KHL? Schneider’s last stand? Drury’s long-term vision? Eric and Chip break down all the chaos, plus a must-hear Tokarski story from Grand Rapids.
In Episode 61 of Blueshirt Bandwidth, Eric steps in for an exiled-to-mystery-land Joe Fortunato and is joined by Chip for a deeply chaotic, surprisingly thoughtful, and thoroughly entertaining ride through the state of the New York Rangers.
They break down Adam Fox’s LTIR stint, what it means for the blueline, Braden Schneider’s future, and how Mike Sullivan navigates a stretch of games without one of the NHL’s best defensemen. Eric also shares a great behind-the-scenes story from a Grand Rapids Griffins fundraiser—including encountering Dustin Tokarski and learning how he found out he’d be starting an Eastern Conference Final game on essentially zero notice.
From Panarin-to-KHL rumors, to trade-deadline philosophy, to a spirited debate about fancy stats, to a spontaneous Rangers-haiku segment — this episode has everything: analysis, arguments, jokes, and the occasional wrestling reference. Give it a listen!
