Joe and Eric hit the half-century mark of Blueshirt Bandwidth with a loaded episode. They break down the Rangers’ decision to name J.T. Miller the 29th captain in franchise history, what it signals about the team’s new identity under Chris Drury and Mike Sullivan, and why Miller’s fiery leadership makes sense now. The guys also dig into Mika Zibanejad’s move to the wing, what it reveals about the Rangers’ shaky center depth, and how young players like Brennan Othman, Will Cuylle, and Brett Berard fit into the lineup puzzle. Plus more on the prospect of acquiring Kirill Kaprizov and a tribute to Rangers legend Ed Giacomin, who passed away this week.
Plus, listener questions on Igor Shesterkin’s workload, Dylan Garand’s chances, nostalgic trades of Brian Leetch and Mike Richter, “movies so bad they’re good,” and plenty of (Blueshirt) banter in between. Give it a listen!
