Podcast: 610 Barstool Sports New York

The Barstool Sports New York blogger joined me to talk about everything Rangers and the Henrik Lundqvist era.

Henrik Lundqvist

Henrik Lundqvist is back. After a rough stretch that made it look like the 76 playoff games over the last four seasons were starting to catch up with the King. After missing out on the All-Star Game, Lundqvist has returned to his old self with wins in eight of his last 10 starts and just 18 goals against in those 10 games. For the 11th straight season, the Rangers go as Henrik Lundqvist go, and right now, everything is going well.

610 of Barstool Sports New York joined me to talk about Dylan McIlrath avenging Wayne Simmonds’ punch to Ryan McDonagh’s jaw, the slumps of Chris Kreider, Kevin Hayes and Derek Stepan, the odd use of Keith Yandle by Alain Vigneault, the play of Dan Girardi and Marc Staal, the Henrik Lundqvist era in its 11th season and which teams should scare Rangers fans for the playoffs.

The Rangers’ season came to a devastating end in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals and now it’s time to look back at the season and ahead to next season.

New York Rangers vs. Tampa Bay Lightning

It’s been nearly a week since the Rangers’ season ended with a Game 7 loss in the Eastern Conference finals and the finality of the Presidents’ Trophy-winning season is still devastating. Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final was on Wednesday night and to catch a glimpse of a Rangers-less Final only made the young offseason that much more depressing.

WFAN Mike’s On: Francesa on the FAN producer Brian Monzo joined me to talk about the 2014-15 Rangers, what went wrong in Game 7 against the Lightning, how the Rangers can get over the hump and win the Stanley Cup and what moves the team should make this offseason.

The wait for the playoffs to begin seems like forever, but the Rangers are set up perfectly for a long run into the late spring and that makes it worth the wait.

New York Rangers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins

The days off between the regular season and the postseason feel like forever. And when you add in the fact that the last few weeks of the Rangers’ season was just a formality because of their strong hold on a playoff berth, the wait has been even longer. But the playoffs are about to begin and the Rangers are perfectly set up for an extended run that should take us into the late spring and that makes it worth the wait.

610 of Barstool Sports New York joined me to talk about which team Rangers fans should have wanted to face in the first round, what it’s like to be the team to beat in the playoffs, why Rangers fans shouldn’t be worried about the Penguins this postseason, how the playoff experience has changed for Rangers fans and predictions for the playoffs.

The mentality has changed for Rangers fans thanks to the Stanley Cup Final run last season and now this spring it’s Stanley Cup or bust for the Rangers.

New York Rangers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins

The playoffs are here and the Rangers got here the way they wanted to. I’m not talking about by winning the Presidents’ Trophy or by winning the East or the Met or by having home-ice advantage for the playoffs. I’m talking about being healthy for the starts of the postseason, which is the most important thing.

WFAN Mike’s On: Francesa on the FAN producer Brian Monzo joined me to talk about the Rangers’ season and what winning the Presidents’ Trophy means, the first-round matchup with the Penguins, last year’s series against the Penguins, which team the Rangers should have wanted to play in the first round, the Stanley Cup-or-bust mentality in New York and predictions for the playoffs.

Brian Monzo of WFAN joins me to talk about how distraught he was after the Rangers’ Game 1 loss in the Stanley Cup Final and how his anger has turned to optimism for the series.

2014 NHL Stanley Cup Final - Game One

The Rangers haven’t looked as good as they did in the opening minutes of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final possibly all season. And after they took a 2-0 lead in the first 15:03 of the series, it looked like they might run away with the game at Staples Center. But then an awful Derek Stepan turnover, some bad Marc Staal defense and the worst decision of Dan Girardi’s life changed the game and the series.

WFAN Mike’s On: Francesa on the FAN producer Brian Monzo joined me to talk about how distraught he was after the Rangers’ loss, the turnovers that decided Game 1 and how his anger has turned to optimism for the series. And then Monzo broke down the Belmont Stakes at the end of the podcast.
