"The Rangers did their usual thing, losing in OT to Carolina, losing to Washington, then winning another Winter Classic. In this week's Patreon post (subscribe here!), Dave talked 2026 Rangers resolutions. Naturally, there was a hint of sarcasm. Live From the Blue Seats was off last week. We are ready to start 2026! The Rangers are at a crossroads, and it may impact Vincent Trocheck's future with the team."
"Adam Fox returned from injury, and the Rangers returned both Scott Morrow and Brett Berard to clear cap and roster space. Right after the roster moves to accommodate Fox's return, the Rangers had to make a flurry of moves after they got Tom Wilson'd again. Continuing with Fox, it's absurd he was left off the Olympic roster."
"Dave and Brandon traded different opinions on Alexis Lafreniere. Despite the Rangers undefeated record outdoors, the Winter Classic has lost its luster. And finally, Dave ended 2025's content with a bang, talking how Chris Drury destroyed the Rangers in 5 short years."
The New York Rangers are 20-18-5 and sit seventh in the Metropolitan Division after an OT loss to Carolina, a regulation loss to Washington, and a win in the Winter Classic. Upcoming games include matchups with Utah, Buffalo, and Boston. Adam Fox returned from injury, prompting the team to send Scott Morrow and Brett Berard back to clear cap and roster space. A subsequent incident involving Tom Wilson forced more rapid roster adjustments. Vincent Trocheck's future may be affected by the team's direction. Debate continues over Alexis Lafreniere, and the Winter Classic's appeal appears diminished despite a perfect outdoor record. A Patreon post and fan confidence poll seek supporter engagement.
