Podcast: 610 Barstool Sports New York

610 of Barstool Sports New York joins me to talk about how bad Dan Girardi was in Game 1 and why Rick Nash needs to return to the power play right now.

2014 NHL Stanley Cup Final - Game One

The Rangers we saw in the opening minutes of Game 1 and the Rangers we saw in the third period and overtime of Game 1 were two different teams. The first team looked like a team ready and prepared not only for the Stanley Cup Final, but to win the series. The other team looked like a team whose season might only last three more games now. And after blowing an opportunity to at worst split the two games in Los Angeles, the Rangers now have to win Game 2.

610 of Barstool Sports New York joined me to talk about how bad Dan Girardi was in Game 1, why Rick Nash needs to return to the power play and what happened with the discounted Rangers jerseys from the NHL store.

Kevin DeLury of The New York Rangers Blog joins me to talk about the Rangers’ first Stanley Cup Final appearance in 20 years and why they aren’t as big of an underdog against the Kings as the media has made them out to be.

New York Rangers at Los Angeles Kings

When the Rangers won Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Canadiens, I couldn’t believe they were headed to the Stanley Cup Final and a chance to play for a championship for the first time in 20 years. Or as I like to put it: the first time since I was in second grade.

Kevin DeLury of The New York Rangers Blog joined me to talk about the Rangers’ first Stanley Cup Final appearance in 20 years, how the Rangers managed to reach this point after an up-and-down season and why the Rangers aren’t as big of an underdog against the Kings as people believe.

Podcast: Brian Monzo

Brian Monzo of WFAN joins me to talk about the feel-good stories surrounding the Rangers’ Stanley Cup run and which Western Conference team Rangers fans should want to play.

New York Rangers vs. Montreal Canadiens

Three weeks ago this didn’t seem possible. And even though it’s now possible, it doesn’t feel real. The Rangers will play for the Stanley Cup starting on Wednesday after beating the Canadiens in Game 6 and in six games.

After a long stressful night waiting for time to run out on the Canadiens after Dominic Moore’s goal, I called WFAN Mike’s On: Francesa on the FAN producer Brian Monzo late on Thursday night into Friday morning to talk about the Rangers’ improbable three-week stretch. Monzo joined me to talk about the Rangers’ series win over the Canadiens, the feel-good stories surrounding the team’s Stanley Cup run and which team Rangers fans should want to play from the Western Conference.

Kevin DeLury of The New York Rangers Blog joins me to talk about the Rangers’ matchup with the Penguins and what will happen to Rick Nash if he continues to go scoreless in the playoffs.

Sidney Crosby and Henrik Lundqvist

It’s never easy when it comes to the Rangers and once again they needed seven games to get by their first-round opponent, but at least they got by the Flyers. Now things get a little harder with the Rangers going to Pittsburgh to start their conference semifinals series with the Penguins after just one day off with the two teams set to play three games over the next four days.

Kevin DeLury of The New York Rangers Blog joined me to talk about the Rangers’ matchup with the Penguins, what will happen to Rick Nash if he continues to go scoreless in the playoffs and how Daniel Carcillo should be in the lineup for the entire postseason.

Kevin DeLury of The New York Rangers Blog joins me to talk about the Rangers’ first-round matchup with the Flyers and the job Alain Vigneault has done after his first regular season in New York.

After an up-and-down season for the Rangers that had me at times wondering if they would even make the playoffs and other feeling like they could compete with Boston and Pittsburgh, the playoffs are finally here. And after hoping the Rangers would meet the Flyers in the first round for their first playoff series in 17 years, I got my wish with the Rangers and Flyers starting their series on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.

Kevin DeLury of The New York Rangers Blog joined me to talk about the Rangers’ first-round matchup with the Flyers, what Henrik Lundqvist has to do in the playoffs to quiet his critics and how Alain Vigneault has done as head coach after his first regular season in New York.
