With the season back in free-fall, the Rangers may finally have given up on themselves and their coach, failing to capture the most precious points in the season. After blowing a lead to the first place Capitals, and letting huge momentum swings halt you against two wildcard teams, the Rangers lose another heartbreaker last night, this time on a powerplay goal to a penalty that should have never been called. To quote another hated New York coach, "it's all right there in front of us" but the group may actually miss the playoffs after winning the Presidents trophy last year.

Rarely do I get this excited to talk about hockey when nothing major has really happened, but it really fires me up to hear how counted out the New York Rangers are. I've been told they're selling, they're not committed to the playoffs, they're not committed to the coach, but yet here we are sitting in a playoff spot. The team pulled off one of the best deadline deals they ever have, acquiring JT Miller for an injury prone 3rd liner and a 2nd round pick. The former 100 point player has hit the ground running and fit the mold of this team perfectly, scoring 14 points in his first 11 games as a New York Ranger. The only player with more in that timespan? His line-mate Mika Zibanejad. Make no mistake, this team expects to make the playoffs and the front office will do everything in it's power to force the issue.

Puuttuva jakso?

For better or for worse, New York Rangers hockey is officially back. In true Rangers fashion, we came out of the break getting absolutely demolished by Buffalo, surrendering 5 goals in the first period, and ultimately giving up 8 goals in one of the worst beatings of the season. The team rebounded against Pittsburgh, a team on the playoff bubble, and won in unconvincing fashion- very Rangers. With just a days remaining and a few games to play until the official trade deadline, has the biggest move for this team already been made?

One cannot help but be a little frustrated at this version of the New York Rangers. On one hand, there's a strong argument to be made that had JT Miller been on last season's Eastern Conference Finals team, or the iteration that went there two seasons prior, that the team very well could have advanced. On the other hand, it's difficult to watch the team perform so inconsistently night after night. We go from losing to the Penguins, a team that was reeling the loss of their only start player, to beating a more competitive team in the Blue Jackets that were also without their best player- both games decided by just a goal. So which one is it? Are the Rangers back, or should we lower our expectations now while we have the chance?

In what looked to be a far-fetched idea at the time, the New York Rangers and Chris Drury shocked the world, with only the second most surprising trade in sports this week. The trade for JT Miller was originally speculated to include Lafreniere, Chytil, plus a first round pick just to start, but the Rangers were able to only include the latter of the two with Mancini as the sweetener. On paper, the Rangers spent more money to get older, but anyone familiar with JT knows this price only comes around once...unless you were the Lightning in 2018. Regardless, I think it's fair to say the Rangers won this trade and are still not done tinkering.

After a a nice little run to start the month of January off and essentially turn around the season, the Rangers face just their second regulation loss of the new year against the freshly reeling Colorado Avalanche. The game proved as a nice check-in against a contending team, even if it's without cup winner Mikko Rantanen. Though the team faired well against the fellow wildcard foes, it will be interesting to see how the new-look Rangers can navigate the upcoming schedule, with games against mostly struggling teams in contention.

With just one regulation loss to start the year, the New York Rangers really seem to have turned a corner as they enter into a crucial part of the season. For the last few years, Rangers fans have been blessed to know that the playoffs were coming for the better half of the season. Now, with the team floundering as it did in the months of November and December, the Blueshirts have no choice but to make up for lost time. Having made major corrections at the quarter mark of the season, the new-look Rangers seem to have found their stride in good timing, with New Jersey only winning 3 of their last 12, and the Metropolitan division beginning to take proper shape.

Things are feeling competitive in Rangers town, having secured points in their last 5 games, beating good teams like the Devils and Golden Knights, and dragging it to OT with the Stars and now Avalanche. In this episode we chop it up with Jon Chik, the host of Locked on Rangers, about his perspective from the first half of the season, current line compositions, and what to make of the plan at the deadline. Jon is one of our all time favorite guests to invite back on; a true Rangers fan with passion for the sport and pulse on the group.

At about the halfway mark through the season, the Rangers year thus far has been nothing short of a roller coaster- minus the part where we go back up. For a halfway check-in, we invite on Blue Line Station contributor, editor, and site expert Jennifer Streeter to discuss the current status of the New York Rangers. Tied for the bottom of the Metro wasn't on my bingo card, but Jen seems confident the Blueshirts can pull back within the race, and that Chris Drury hasn't finished wheeling and dealing.

In what has been the most disappointment I think I've experienced to start a season, the New York Rangers continue to impress by dragging out the stinkfest longer. The Blueshirts have now lost 17 of their last 25 games- a number I cannot stress more, since were no longer talking about a few game skid. Somehow, I see daily comments and mentions from fans defending these players. I can understand it from a human level because this team has brought us a lot of hope, but unfortunately they haven't delivered on that promise.

In another game of one step forward and two steps back, the Rangers enter a really difficult stretch of games before the break and then return for more difficult opponents in a mad dash to save the season. Coming off a win vs the Dallas Stars, the New York Rangers took back to back losses to the Metropolitan Division Hurricanes and Devils who both currently jockey for the Metro lead. The break couldn't have come at a better time though, and should hopefully serve as a little reset for the team. It always seems like the break comes at a point in the season that disrupts our momentum, but this season, it could not have come at a better time!

If last week was rock bottom, then I don't know what to call this. The New York Rangers have won just 3 games in their last 13, a stat that didn't seem possible in the beginning of the season, but is now a concerning reality with a tough stretch of games upcoming. The Metropolitan division isn't doing them any favors either, with just 3 points separating the last playoff spot from the last division spot. To make matters worse, the top half of the division hasn't stopped winning, with the Devils and Caps both reaching 20 wins. What can GM Chris Drury do to right the ship?

With just 2 wins in their last 10 games, tied for worst in the NHL in that span, the New York Rangers are entering into very spooky territory. With their season in limbo, they made a huge move just 25 games into the season by trading their captain, along with his 8 million dollar cap hit. The move seemed to be foreshadowed this offseason, which begs the question why it wasn't done any sooner. Nevertheless, the one positive from this situation is that the team has rid themselves entirely from his lofty contract. Something tells me, based on they way the team has been playing, that Chris Drury is not yet satisfied.

The New York Rangers are in absolute free fall. The team has dropped 6 of their last 7 games, sit barely in a playoff spot, and would be behind teams like the Isles and Blue Jackets if not for their hot start. Despite that start, many fans thought this is exactly what would happen. What is Chris Drury left to do? After essentially bluffing to the world, claiming he was open to making trades, the team has given some of their worst efforts of the season. The core can and should be looked at, however as we tough on in this episode, it's not an ideal trade landscape once you've made it public what you're attempting to do.

The New York Rangers are hurting, but I think the fans are hurting more. In the last week, the vibes have taken a complete nose dive, and Rangers upper management sent out a major flare to the team, essentially promising moves will be made to swap out players. In a game where you would expect a huge bounce back performance, the Blueshirts confirmed what a lot of people were already saying; something has to change. The players implicated? Jacob Trouba and Chris Kreider- two of their current locker room leaders. In fairness, Kreider was absent from tonight's contest, but the former of those two was a traffic cone all game. We chat with Bruins beat reporter Andrew Fantucchio about the start of the young season. The Bruins of course just fired the St. Louis Blues new head coach Jim Montgomery, as both teams attempt to right the ship after slow starts.

After a very ideal start on the west coast road trip, we chat with Kraken Radio play by play announcer Mike Benton to review the game and the young season. With Jonathan Quick's shutout win over Seattle, the Ranger's back-up netminder moves to 22-6-2 lifetime in New York, and boasts his second shutout of the season in back-to-back games. Mike chat's with us from his perspective, as this was a real gut-check game for both teams. From the Kraken's point of view, the New York Rangers represent a good litmus test for any bubble team making a playoff push. On the other hand, the Kraken represent a hungry team that isn't going to make life easy on you. In hindsight, it was a great way to get Quick some reps, and Igor a game vs. Vancouver.

The New York Rangers some how sit in 4th place in the Metro, and the lines have been put back in the blender. The Rangers have flip flopped their goalies in an effort to spark something in Igor, who has struggled of late given all of the defensive issues. We invite the boys from The Empty Netters pod to chat about the goalie situation, dark horse candidates, and thoughts from around the league.

With a 8-2-1 start to the season, the Rangers record may appear to be better than it really is. One can't help but wonder if the defensive insufficiencies are being masked by Igor's fantastic play. It seems apparent that Mika is still kind of off, yet he's at nearly a point per game pace. What's more impressive is each line is contributing, including both power play units, 5v5 and short handed. The Rangers are literally on pace for a 60 win season, but why doesn't it feel that way? We have on Jeff from Mind Your Pucking Business Pod join us to discuss the start of the season.

After a tough loss to the Caps, who were clearly out for revenge following a sweep in last seasons playoffs at the hands of the New York Rangers, the team looks to bounce back in what looks to be a very important stretch of points for the Rangers. The next 4 games are against opponents ranked 6th, 6th, 5th, and 4th in their divisions respectively. The positives? Essentially everyone not named Mika Zibanejad.

The New York Rangers sit themselves on the top of the league as one of the absolute teams to contend with right out of the gate. If you've been following the show, then you'll know this was certainly on our radar before the season began, as we were both of the mindset that this core still had quite a lot to prove. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't bet against Igor in the regular season of a contract year. He's playing the most inspired hockey of his career, and personally, I hope we back up the Brink's truck. He's worth every penny.
On today's episode, we catch up with Devil's beat reporter James Nichols, who shares with us his view on the Metro Division, the rivalry as a whole, and expectations for the young season as our teams take an early gap on the competition.
