Ranger Things

Ranger Things is a New York Rangers podcast made for fans, by fans. Best friends Carlo, Brendan, and Dave explore their unhealthy relationship with their favorite team and each other.

This week is the season finale for Ranger Things. We'll be returning in 3 weeks (unless there is something substantial to chat about). We talk about some of the signings and trades that may effect the Rangers, Glen Sather, Goodrow's move to San Jose, and spend a lot of time on the Trouba drama, complete with Carlo's theory on why he want's to stay). We also dive into Kakko's future with this team (Carlo almost cries) and whether or not we really need Shesterkin (there is a compelling argument to move on from him).   Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shoot us an email: contact@rangerthingspodcast.com Visit the website and become a member: rangerthingspodcast.com

Addressing Flaws, Omens, and Cap Circumvention

The Case for Sidney Crosby, Goodrow Season, and...
We've got another week of the Rangers being the best team in the NHL, so there's nothing to criticize, and thus we complain about our own fanbase. We are the worst. Brendan then makes a case for Sidney Crosby being the greatest hockey player ever and completely discredits Gretzky and Lemieux in the process. We're coasting into the playoffs so enjoy the next week or so before anxiety levels rise.   Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shoot us an email: contact@rangerthingspodcast.com Visit the website and become a member: rangerthingspodcast.com
