Our team leading scorer…checks notes…Taylor Raddysh?

Never would have guessed this is where we’d be as October ends.

Sorry yall normally I live tweet the games but when I’m the one writing the recap it’s very hard for me to multi task doing both! But how about those Rangers!

Blueshirt Banter @blueshirtbanter.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah it’s not encouraging to watch. I think a retool is in order tbh but also my own personal opinion prior to the season was they’d qualify for the playoffs but struggle early. I’m waiting until late November to write off this year entirely but I’m not feeling good right now that’s for sure LOL

Blueshirt Banter @blueshirtbanter.bsky.social · 1d

Chip is a believer! And his point of the team being a year removed from the presidents trophy & with Sullivan, Miller & Gavrikov for a full year it wasn’t that outrageous to think they’d find some type of success. It’s easy to criticize now after watching the team fall on its face for a month.

Blueshirt Banter @blueshirtbanter.bsky.social · 2d

Seravalli mentioned Panarin to Carolina. Tbh that feels incredibly unlikely. Their style of play is vastly different than how Panarin plays the game and with Panarin needing to sign off on where ever he goes I just can’t see this happening.

Lots of activity in our BSB chat today. Mostly about how this team needs to commit to a rebuild and take some fliers on players that need new starts. Some ideas were Nick Robertson or Yegor Chinakov. What are everyone’s thoughts? Who is a player you’d love to see the Rangers buy low on?

Noah Laba is providing the north-south hockey that Mike Sullivan wants. Carry the puck with speed, then use size and strength to hold off defenders and establish offensive-zone possession.

Two examples vs Vancouver last night:

A power play unit featuring Conor Sheary, Taylor Raddysh, and Jonny Brodzinski genuinely does not do it for me.

Blueshirt Banter @blueshirtbanter.bsky.social · 3d

Haha even here at BSB there is divisiveness whether that was a great or terrible thing.

Blueshirt Banter @blueshirtbanter.bsky.social · 3d

What are the vibes on the World Series? Do we hold a bigger grudge for the Blue Jays or the Dodgers?

Blueshirt Banter @blueshirtbanter.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah we had a few people at BSB mention Sullivan’s success really came off of star studded rosters. But the situation in New York is quickly becoming dire.

Where does this team go from here? And no I don’t mean Vancouver. Almost nothing with this team is currently sparking joy.

A 2 on 0 shorthanded is diabolical. I don’t think Mike Sullivan knew what he was signing up for.

Miller was so gassed there. He couldn’t even back check and was pushed by another player.

Blueshirt Banter @blueshirtbanter.bsky.social · 4d

Oh Mika I wanted that for you so so badly

Blueshirt Banter @blueshirtbanter.bsky.social · 4d

That shot may end up being Othman’s best chance. The kid can really shoot the puck and I just want him to RIP it.

Blueshirt Banter @blueshirtbanter.bsky.social · 4d

Gavrikov with an outrageous defensive play. The team signed him for just that ability.

Blueshirt Banter @blueshirtbanter.bsky.social · 4d

Miller bobbled the puck in the slot leading to a turnover and Calgary has controlled play in the Rangers zone since with several dangerous chances.

Blueshirt Banter @blueshirtbanter.bsky.social · 4d

Adam Fox is an incredible player but why did he hold the puck to line up a shot so long there? :(

Blueshirt Banter @blueshirtbanter.bsky.social · 4d

Laba is the real deal. I think he hesitated and considered passing to Cuylle otherwise he would have buried that.

Blueshirt Banter @blueshirtbanter.bsky.social · 4d

Oof one lucky bounce away from going into intermission down 3-1

Blueshirt Banter @blueshirtbanter.bsky.social · 4d

As soon as I posted the above they had a miscommunication and got pinned in their defensive zone lmao

Blueshirt Banter @blueshirtbanter.bsky.social · 4d

This fourth line is phenomenal.

Blueshirt Banter @blueshirtbanter.bsky.social · 4d

Really really hoping we see a spark from Othmann tonight.
