Episode 87 of Blueshirt Bandwidth is named after the only Ranger to wear #87—Donald Brashear—which leads to a very important debate about how old he'd have to be before either host would feel comfortable fighting him. Charlie Vidal's Ombudsman Report delivers a thorough flogging: forgetting Sean Avery on the Rangers personality Mount Rushmore is declared inexcusable and Joe and Eric agree. Then: the NHL Draft, where San Jose taking a defenseman at two could set off a chain reaction, Vancouver likely locks up Caleb Malhotra at three with Manny now coaching the team, and Joe makes the case for Viggo Björck while Eric remains skeptical the Rangers reach for him at five. Peter Laviolette being connected to Toronto is baffling, Patrick Roy isn't much better, and Tortorella is almost certainly staying in Vegas no matter what happens. The K'Andre Miller and Brett Howden "glazing" gets a full reality check. Give it a listen!
