#79: The Rangers Can't Stop Winning & It's Ruining Everything (Kinda)

Episode 79 of Blueshirt Bandwidth is the K'Andre Miller episode. Eric Kohn and Joe Fortunato check in on the Rangers' former defenseman (35 points in 69 games with Carolina, since you asked). The Rangers are playing their best hockey at the worst possible time, so Eric and Joe break down what that means for the draft lottery odds, which young players are making the case to stick around, and what this roster might actually look like come September. They also get into the Islanders' stunning decision to fire Patrick Roy with just four games left in the season and hand Pete DeBoer a four-year deal on the spot—and the broader question of why teams keep letting outgoing GMs run trade deadlines (Toronto, this one's for you). Also on the agenda: Igor Shesterkin's boxing career and his demolition of Jacob Markstrom, the NHL rule that prevents goalies from ever wearing the C, the Scott Morrow situation, what it would take to land Jason Robertson, and whether the NHL even has a tanking problem to begin with. Give it a listen!
