About this episode
The episode provides a comprehensive analysis of the New York Rangers' disappointing season and discusses potential future moves for the team.
The Rangers’ season is officially over, and that means it’s time for a full post-mortem. On Episode 42 of the Tri-State Hockey Podcast presented by bet365, Jonny Lazarus is joined by Arthur Staple and Mike Rupp to break down everything that went wrong for the New York Rangers this season. From the early-season offensive struggles and major injuries to questions about the team’s leadership, roster construction, and front-office direction, the guys take a deep dive into how the year unraveled. They also debate what comes next for the Rangers — including whether the team should trade a potential top draft pick, the future of Vincent Trocheck, possible offseason trade targets, and whether the organization needs a major roster reset or just a few strategic moves. Plus, the guys react to fan voicemails about the team’s direction and discuss potential free-agent fits that could reshape the Rangers lineup next season.
