Live from the Blue Seats - A NY Rangers Podcast

How the Rangers can right the ship w/ Rob Luker

Season 3, Ep. 8
•

This week, Dave and Rob are joined by their Blue Seat Blogs colleague and friend of the pod Rob Luker! Despite the Rangers' recent struggles, Rob offers some reasons for hope and optimism, which are surprisingly found in the #fancystats. The gang also reacts to the most recent round of line juggling by Head Coach Gerard Gallant, including the long overdue reinstatement of Vitali Kravtsov to the lineup.


Have the Rangers reached rock bottom? Is there a chance that they're selling - not buying - at the trade deadline? What's the best pie? Dave and the Robs answer all of these questions, and more, on this episode of Live from the Blue Seats.
