Cheers, Rangers fans. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Your gift? A matchup with the Islanders at Madison Square Garden. Hard to beat that. The NHL trade deadline is just a few days away and fans have their eyes peeled to Larry Brooks’ Twitter account to see what the Blueshirts will do to bolster their roster for the final push to the playoffs.
To talk trade deadline and the comeback kids, we bring you a new episode of the “Up In The Blue Seats” podcast with Ron Duguay and Mollie Walker. The aforementioned Brooksie and MSG Network analyst, Rangers great, wine shop worker and friend of the program Dave Maloney joined us.
Up In The Blue Seats Podcast with Ron, Mollie & Jake:
- COMEBACK KIDS: Another game, another Rangers comeback. They continue to rally to win games and continue scoring on the power play. Twenty comeback wins this season after the thrilling OT victory at MSG on Tuesday.
- IGOR/GEORGIE: Igor gets pulled after giving up four goals in St. Louis. Alexandar Georgiev was not terrible against the Ducks on Tuesday. Rangers want Shesterkin to be well-rested and ready to start every playoff game. Does not seem like Georgie will be traded at this point.
