I talk about how I’m not a huge Thanksgiving food guy. Sides are elite, but turkey is meh and pumpkin pie sucks. @iEricKohn did not handle this truth speaking well (what a shock). Oh we also talked about the Rangers, I guess
🔈🔉🔊 New podcast! In the 60th edition of Blueshirt Bandwidth, @JoeFortunatoBSB and @iEricKohn celebrate a Thanksgiving miracle with a full hour of chaos, kids-over-vets advocacy, goalie-number pedantry, and the ombudsman report from Charlie. The guys dive into Jusso Parssinen

@JoeFortunatoBSB The *only* Gus trade I'd make is Gus for Parssinen (retaining on Gus to make salaries match). Both guys get a reset and chances with their respective teams to be NHL players again. Both guys can still be kept in AHL, worst case.

If we’re going to bring back Gustafsson I think I’d much rather just see if Morrow can do it.
Friedman on 32TP says #NYR are looking for a power play QB with Adam Fox out, one name Friedman has heard is Erik Gustafsson who is currently playing in the AHL, he was decent for them in 2023-24 with 6 goals, 31 pts in 76 games.

As of today, MoneyPuck, as controversial as all of their rankings may be, have ranked the New York Rangers in 7th in their updated “NHL Power Rankings.” #NYR

I do love that Schneider wasn’t good enough for top four duty but we’re cool to toss him on the top pair. This is a big sink or swim moment for him

I’d play the EBUG against them. What’s the risk?
Casey DeSmith was the first goalie off for #TexasHockey
#NYR are getting teams backup goalies.

They can rearrange the deck chairs with Sheary all they want as long as they don’t touch Laba. Slightly less energy with Berard. But I have no issues with this
Here are the #NYR practice lines (minus Raddysh): Panarin - Zibanejad - Lafrenière Miller - Trocheck - Brodzinski Cuylle - Laba - Berard Edström - Carrick - Sheary

Malcolm Spence, Agitator Extraordinaire In a landscape full of aging contracts and shallow prospects, Malcolm Spence stands out as the kind of high-motor talent the Rangers desperately need. Read it here ➡️➡️➡️ https://t.co/4ZPLOaYKb6 via @RSolisByx #NYR

Not that Peter is suggesting this but I have seen people saying this: The Rangers also cannot afford to acquire someone to try and band-aid this.
Per, @domluszczyszyn’s model, the Rangers’ playoff odds were at 42 percent with a healthy Adam Fox. If he misses 10 games, that dips to 37 percent. Twenty and it dips to 32. This is hardly a loss they could afford. https://t.co/QvgNJvvhWV

Scott Morrow will never have a better opportunity than right now to make a statement about his NHL future. Happy for him . Also happy for all the Fox haters to get a pretty large dose of reality the next few weeks, but that hurts me in the long run so.

That’s now 14PTS in 15GP for Perreault. I think it’s about that time, folks. #NYR

Darren Raddysh clowned the Rangers today. He spent THREE years in the Rangers' AHL system. Then he goes to Tampa Bay and it took them less than a year to turn him into an NHL defenseman Meanwhile NYR struggle to get their top prospects to stick. It's not luck.

Assuming the rate of progress in autonomous programming continues, by about this time next year (Nov 2026) ai coders will do about 2 hrs of continuous work. Now → 31 Minutes +1 Year → ~2 Hours +2 Years → ~9 Hours +3 Years → ~37 Hours

I am actually impressed when I say this: That might be the worst home game the Rangers have played this year

So Lafreniere won’t get an assist for this goal, but it was his work tight in the slot to feed it back to Fix that makes that goal happen. Sort of the story of him this year

The Rangers have played some truly disgraceful home games this year. Being outshot 23-6 with 2:48 left in the second is way up there
