Broadway Block: a podcast about the New York Rangers

As we start to see the NHL finals picture come together, we zoom in on more of the John Tortorella news in Vegas and touch in with a former guest and colleague of John's, Ant SanFilippo. It's no secret Torts has taken the Golden Knights and truly gotten the most out of them. Since his hiring, the Knights are 19-4-1, finishing the regular season off in first place, and just now sweeping the President's Trophy Avalanche. In fact, John is the first coach in NHL history to lead two separate teams...

On todays episode, we chat with a returning guest to go over who the Rangers and their fans could get excited about drafting in June. The Prospect Don is a very knowledgable guy, who in this episode, goes in depth about essentially everyone in the top 30. We first cover the elephant in the room- Who will be left at number 5? We then talk about some of the talent the team could look to grab with their return from the K'Andre Miller trade, the 23rd overall pick from Dallas by way of Carolina. L...

The news finally dropped just as the clock struck 3pm this afternoon, signaling the NHL roster freeze is now in place. The bombshell that every Rangers fan had been anticipating all day, broken by Adam Schefter of all people, Artemi Panarin has officially been traded to the LA Kings for a underwhelming return. We dive in on this episode discussing the trade, which was spearheaded by Panarin's leverage in the situation, and why I would personally rather have a 20 year old prospect than a late ...

With some time removed from the infamous Letter 2.0, we had some time to reflect on what the last 8 years has meant to the New York Rangers, and to us all, the fans. In this episode, we breakdown who out of the team truly represents "the core" and who makes up the list of players who can expect their time in blue to end shortly. The rest? It's pretty debatable. There's merit for some guys, as a handful of Rangers could surely net a fair return. There's also a list of players that would certai...

After a rough OT loss to the Utah Mammoth, the New York Rangers were struck with awful news- they will be without their star goalie Igor Shesterkin for a period of time, and arguably worse news, Adam Fox will be back on LTIR after recently getting him back into the lineup. It's tough to say which injury will do the team in the most, but considering how well Quick has played, and the tenacity he has brought in the games he's played, there is nobody on the team quite like Adam Fox. The power-pl...

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 offense after a low shot total for two straight periods. As the team set...

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 mediocrity continue for New York? With key contributions up and ...
