Episode 108 of Blueshirt Bandwidth is the Kevin Klein Episode—a scrappy, overtime-goal-scoring No. 8 who was better than he gets credit for, just like these Rangers. Recording as the Kings ran away with Monday’s game, Joe and Eric react to the James Reimer signing and Mike Sullivan’s quick hook after one period, why Dylan Garand’s play is what average NHL goaltending actually looks like for fans spoiled by Henrik Lundqvist and Igor Shesterkin, and the latest on Joonas Korpisalo’s foot infection. They also make the case for putting Scott Morrow on waivers, celebrate Adam Fox’s 100-point pace and Alexis Lafreniere’s post-Panarin breakout, defend Pavel Dorofeyev (and dunk on plus-minus), and explain why a bubble playoff team without Igor is still progress. Plus: remembering Ron Duguay and whether the NHL should borrow the NFL’s faster rebuild model. Give it a listen!
