Blueshirt Bandwidth #64: Coal for Rangers Christmas
From Lafrenière discourse to Drury’s direction and Dolan’s patience wearing thin, this one hits all the sore spots as the Rangers spiral toward uncertainty.
Joe and Eric are up before sunrise—literally—to record a pre-Christmas episode of Blueshirt Bandwidth, and the early hour matches the bleak mood surrounding the New York Rangers. They dig into a brutal schedule crunch, mounting injuries, and a team that feels stuck between contention and collapse. The conversation turns to Alexei Lafrenière’s stagnation, Chris Drury’s increasingly murky plan, James Dolan’s reported impatience, and whether any real optimism exists beyond Adam Fox and elite goaltending. It’s candid, frustrated, occasionally darkly funny, and very on brand for a season that’s slipping sideways. Give it a listen! And Merry Christmas!
