Broadway Block: a podcast about the New York Rangers

With the NHL season officially at the 50% mark for the New York Rangers, they find themselves in a difficult spot for the future, with the next steps ahead very unclear. Do they part ways with Artemi Panarin, waiving the flag of defeat in doing so, and try to acquire some pieces for the future? Not likely, as that would explicitly take them out of the playoff race, and they'd be lucky to make the playoffs even with him on the ...

In a dramatic comeback win, the Rangers never seem to be boring. After trailing in the third period, the team rallied back with 5 goals for the first time in over 50 years, and have the third most 3rd period comeback victories in the league. They're quite fascinating, because this is the same team that dropped a lifeless effort to the Predators, and were able to beat on a team above them in the standings with a flurry of offen...

After gutting shutout losses to the bottom dwellers of the league in the Blackhawks and Canucks, with a non-competitive loss on home ice sprinkled in there at the hands of the Ducks, the Rangers have quickly found themselves in hot water in the absence of Adam Fox. Since going down to injury, the New York Rangers are now 3-3-2 with just one regulation win in the last 8 games minus their top blueliner. In today's episode, we ta...

With back-to-back overtime losses to both the Colorado Avalanche and the Vegas Golden Knights, the Rangers still found a way to secure 6 out of a possible 8 points in their last 4 contests, and find themselves in the midst of a tight race in the Metropolitan. With a short stretch of winnable games before the holiday break, can the team rally around some moral victories as they inch further in the standings, or will the season of me...

After an OT thriller at MSG, the Rangers finally have a home win they can feel good about. In a game they dominated from start to finish, they rallied at 6 on 5 with the net empty and carried those heroics into overtime, hopefully marking a turnaround for their unlucky spell that's plagued them at the Garden. With a tough stretch of opponents coming up, they'll be playing in that arena quite a bit before the holiday break...

With another disappointing stretch for the Rangers, they still somehow find themselves in a very tight race in the Metropolitan division, which further complicates the task at hand for Chris Drury and company. Do we completely let the wheels fall off, or is now the time to get aggressive and make some moves? With potential free agency looming for players like Artemi Panarin, we touch on options around the league for trade candidate...

Where could the New York Rangers realistically find themselves in the standings should this continue? It hasn't been all doom and gloom, with the power play surging of late, and one of the most healthy rosters in their division, but something is clearly still missing. In this episode, we talk over the nagging injury that JT Miller is still evidently going through (highlighted in an article linked below), the trade value in cer...

After a well rounded win, and finally doing it on home ice, the New York Rangers have reason to believe in themselves with the long-awaited return of Vincent Trocheck adding some much needed depth back into the lineup Gabe Perreault, the organization's top prospect, got the call up as well and slotted in on the first line with some power play time, and connected with the surging Lafreniere for his first NHL point. On today&apo...

With three straight wins on the road in impressive fashion, the New York Rangers were up to their usual tricks at Madison Square Garden, losing to the Carolina Hurricanes in what is now their 4th shutout loss on home ice this season, and their 6th home loss on the season. It's difficult to stomach, especially considering they led in shot edge for most of the first and played arguably the best 12 minutes to start a period at MS...

It's always much easier to do this show after a win, and the Rangers may have put some of you to sleep with their shutout victory over the Canucks, but it was a strong representation of the defense-first style they should be striving to play with. In today's episode, we talk to NHL scout The Prospect Don and cover a wide variety of topics, first touching on the game in Vancouver, the Brennan Othmann saga, and some young d...

With loads of optimism all year, the results are finally getting to the fans and unfortunately to us as well. As crazy as it is, only 8 games into the season, the New York Rangers find themselves in what I would call a must win game as they take on the winless Sharks. In this episode, we talk about potentially lineup switches the team could make as they seek more offense, some of the few bright spots of the season like Braden Schne...

The New York Rangers set an NHL record after the Oilers game but not the one anyone expected them to break. In the history of the NHL, no team has ever been shutout in their first 3 home games of the season...until Tuesday. Obviously the second the game starts for their first home game back against the Wild that record will only increase, and as much as their captain JT Miller has been quoted in saying they wont look into it, the p...

With over 40 years in the business, Sam Rosen is likely the first person that comes to mind as a New York Rangers broadcaster. This week, we had the absolute pleasure of sitting down to chat with the legend himself talking about the current status of the team, his long and illustrious career in the booth, the famed "farewell tour", and some of the standout moments from his tenure with the organization. 

Today's e...

On this episode of the Broadway Block, we did a fun crossover featuring two co-hosts of the Overtime Chicks show, Jarrod and Jess. We talk about the expectations on the Rangers this season, prospects that have stood out during the preseason, and touch around the league, including the newly minted contract for Kirill Kaprizov.

With the news only breaking last week fresh off wrapping an episode, we begin today's by discussing JT Miller's promotion to captain, and dive straight into the first two preseason games for the New York Rangers against the Devils and Bruins. Trying not to put too much stock into wins and losses, we focus on players that stood out in both a negative and positive way, further lineup questions as many players battling for r...

With the Rangers preseason scheduled to begin in less than a week, we've been privileged enough to finally enjoy some exhibition hockey with the New York Rangers prospects splitting the series against the Flyers in the Rookie Series. On today's show, we chat with Florida Panthers super fan BigCeaz, who shares his perspective on similarities between the Rangers and Panthers, key moments that set them apart, as well as touc...

Today, the New York Rangers began their yearly rookie development camp, headed by top prospects Gabe Perreault and Brennan Othmann, the latter of whom will now be joining his 5th consecutive camp, and the former beginning his first. All eyes are on these two as the preseason is set to begin in less than two short weeks, and Rangers fans alike are clamoring to see just who makes a big enough splash to make the team. In this episode,...

As we inch closer and closer to the start of preseason hockey for the New York Rangers, we review Metropolitan Division rivals and the offseason they've all had. In this episode, we also touch on the liklihood of players like Matt Rempe cracking the opening night roster, and the reasons Rangers fans should be excited about the year to come.

Officially less than a month before preseason hockey for the New York Rangers and we finally get some word from coach Mike Sullivan regarding the lines and projected changes. In this episode we touch on an article written by Dan Rosen of NHL.com where he details a telling interview with Coach Sullivan. In the interview, Sullivan mentions Will Cuylle getting a chance in the top 6 and wanting to keep the tandem of Mika Zibanejad with...
