Don’t look now, but the New York Rangers are just four points out of a playoff spot. Can this team find its way into the postseason? The Blueshirts will get reinforcements Thursday when Igor Shesterkin returns to man the net. They also have help on the way as Vitali Kravtsov is practicing with the team and could get game action soon.
There’s all of that and more to discuss on a brand new episode of the “Up In The Blue Seats” podcast with Ron Duguay and Mollie Walker, featuring chats with Larry Brooks and former Ranger Pete Stemkowski.
Up In The Blue Seats Podcast with Ron Duguay & Mollie Walker:
- VITALI KRAVTSOV: Practicing with the Rangers. What does he bring to the team? When may he appear in games?
- PLAYOFFS: Should the Rangers be in the playoff conversation?
YOU GOT MAIL: Up In The Blue Seats listeners leave voicemails for Ron and Mollie. Callers ask Ron about his hair changes, his time coaching, winning faceoffs, his top moments playing with the Rangers, whether the nets should be bigger and the goal posts expanded.
