On this week's episode of Live from the Blue Seats, Dave and Rob review the Rangers' recent run of form. The Blueshirts are 10-2-1 in their last 13 games, with their latest victory an impressive comeback win over their Metropolitan division rival the Carolina Hurricanes.

The Rangers had their seven game winning streak snapped on Tuesday night by a combination of the Pittsburgh Penguins (specifically Tristan Jarry), the referees, and Sammy Blais' lack of discipline. Still, there were lots of positives to take from the game and this recent stretch which saw the Blueshirts get their season back on track and reenter the playoff mix at the top of the Metropolitan Division. Becky, Dave and Rob break down the Pittsburgh loss, which at times felt like a flashback to last April. The gang also discusses the future of Sammy Blais as a Ranger, coach Gerard Gallant's cryptic comments about already knowing his "perfect lines", and whether or not the Rangers are #actually #good.

Ryan Reaves has become one of the most popular Rangers since coming to New York via trade two summers ago. From his boundless positive energy to his now iconic "Shesty, release us!" bit, Reavo has certainly brought the vibes. However, it looks like his days as a Blueshirt may be numbered.On this week's episode of Live from the Blue Seats, Dave, Rob and Becky (welcome back!) discuss Reaves' future. With a fully healthy roster and very little cap space to deal with, Reaves appears to be the odd man out, though Sammy Blais is a candidate to be waived as well. The gang also steps back and takes stock of the first month of the season, talks the Trouba and Halak haters off the ledge, and answers some great fan questions.Follow the show on Twitter @BlueSeatsLive and be sure to submit your question for next week's show!

The Rangers have been a different team since the trade deadline. In particular, the additions of forwards Frank Vatrano, Andrew Copp and Tyler Motte have transformed the Rangers into a team that generates consistent offense and doesn't need to rely on all-world goaltending to win. Justin Braun has bolstered the defense, which already began to turn the corner in January. On this week's episode of Live from the Blue Seats, Rob Luker joins Becky and (other) Rob to dig into the numbers surrounding the Rangers' recent run of form. Is it sustainable? And if it is, what does that mean for New York's playoff chances? The gang also ponders the return of Kaapo Kakko and the ripple effect that will have on the rest of the lineup. As always, the show wraps up with some great questions submitted by listeners.

The Rangers have been on fire since the trade deadline, and outside of a stinker against the Devils have the look of a team who can make a deep playoff run. On this week's episode of Live from the Blue Seats, Dave and Rob size the team up against their Metropolitan Division counterparts. While matchups against Pittsburgh and Washington seem favorable, the Carolina Hurricanes loom in round 2. The other big issue is the play of Alexandar Georgiev, who has allowed 4 goals in each of his last two starts, and isn't inspiring much confidence in him as a backup should Igor Shesterkin go down with an injury. Should the Rangers consider promoting Keith Kinkaid? Dave also quizzes Rob on some stats-based trivia, and the answers to some of the questions may surprise you. As always, the show concludes with a slew of fantastic fan-submitted questions.Follow @BlueSeatsLive on Twitter, and make sure to submit a question for next week's show! Hosted on Acast.

With the trade deadline less than two weeks away, the Rangers are being linked to every name on the market. While the focus has been on improving the team's depth, the Rangers have the assets and cap space to make a splash, and some fans are clamoring for Chris Drury to go big. With the huge disclaimer that Rob, Becky and Dave would all be against this move because of his history of assault and rape allegations, Patrick Kane's name comes up because of his star status, his history with Artemi Panarin, and the current state of the Blackhawks, who are about to begin a full-scale rebuild. But if the Rangers are going to bring any stars to New York via trade, they'd likely need to part with Kaapo Kakko. Would it be worth it?The gang also discusses Igor Shesterkin's Hart Trophy case, with plenty of shots fired at overzealous Toronto Maple Leafs fans who have argued that a goalie shouldn't be eligible for the league MVP award.
