Mike and Dan take a deep breath as the Rangers get eliminated from the playoffs, opening the door for the first ever edition of “Ranger Piece Theater.”
We do some dramatic readings of Blueshirts postmortems and examine how a fanbase that is catered to almost exclusively by the NHL’s biggest broadcast partners somehow still seems to feel they are being targeted unfairly (maybe they’ll make a documentary about that, too).
We also throw in one Panthers-focused work that is somehow a referendum on the Maple Leafs continued struggles.
But because we’re not just here to hate, we start by discussing the recent changes at the top of the Islanders goaltending department, with new voices coming in and exiting, and congratulate captain Anders Lee on a much deserved King Clancy Trophy.
