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. Every week, we release a new episode recapping the past week’s Rangers games and news and sometimes dive into larger NHL topics.

The Rangers are on heater and so are we. After some minor apologies from Carlo, the gang discusses Rempe, Igor, and Lafrenière, being good. They also get into some trade speculation with Seattle and some great food they've eaten recently.  We've noticed that the better the Rangers play, the less we talk about them.   Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shoot us an email: contact@rangerthingspodcast.com Visit the website and become a member: rangerthingspodcast.com

Seven straight wins, but more importantly, outs...
The boys are geared up after an entertaining and unforgettable Stadium Series win against the Islanders. We mostly discuss the game itself but touch on some news items like the recent waivers and injuries, but also some more deadline speculation. Also, Carlo drops like 50-60 f-bombs, so be prepared for that.    Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shoot us an email: contact@rangerthingspodcast.com Visit the website and become a member: rangerthingspodcast.com

This week we discuss the upcoming Stadium Series, Rempe and Edström's call up, and the Morgan Reilly/Ridley Greig incident. We also discuss the goalie non-controversy between Quick and Shesterkin. We then welcome StatBoy_Steven to the show to discuss prospects and the team's current roster and possible deadline fixes (if there is a need for any).

The Rangers are so not back
This week Dave has been institutionalized, so he joins the show late. Brendan and Carlo discuss Taylor Swift, the Rangers' plan after the All-Star break, what could be a blockbuster trade with Calgary, and a very obvious Kreider and Zibanejad problem. This week's intro theme was created by Gloverton.   Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shoot us an email: contact@rangerthingspodcast.com Visit the website and become a member: rangerthingspodcast.com

Ranger Things’ Christmas Morning

The Regular Season has Begun... Plan the Parade.
This week we discuss the NHL ban on Pride Tape and Barry Melrose then recap games 1 and 2 against Buffalo and Columbus. Long story short; the Rangers look good, Laf is redeemed, Wheeler sucks, Panarin is feeling great, and we all like Cuylle. We then chat a bit about being OG Halal Guys patrons for a while.

This is the last episode before the regular season officially begins, and we spend some time discussing the salary cap news, Derek Stepan's retirement (and just how good the Caps were) and give our final thought on the current roster. Yes, Patrick Kane will be a Ranger. We then hold our first annual Ranger Things Fantasy Draft, in which the three of us, and Super Fan John pick a handful of NY Rangers to compete against each other in a Rotisserie league. It's an eye opening exercise. Afterwards, we play a pretty hot game of FMK-Befrend with former Rangers head coaches.   Follow us on Twitter: @rangerthings23 Shoot us an email: contact@rangerthingspodcast.com Visit the website and become a member: rangerthingspodcast.com

Babcock is Cringe and Trouba is Daddy
Update 9/19/23: Shortly after the release of this episode, more details on the Babcock situation came to light. Carlo, while not walking back his comments, has changed his mind and no longer defends Babcock in any way.   This week, the guys chat about the Aaron Rodgers injury, and then Carlo goes full boomer regarding the Babcock situation. Then the team goes fully in on defending Jacob Trouba. The episode is giving daddy, and the vibes are on point, no cap straight fax. We also play Name that Player.
