On a new episode of the “Up In The Blue Seats” podcast with Brian Boyle, Mollie Walker and Andrew Harts, they open the show talking about the Rangers losing three of the last four games. They discuss Igor Shesterkin not playing like himself, the defense needing to play better in front of him and how well Jonathan Quick has played. The Post’s Hall of Fame hockey columnist Larry Brooks drops by to dissect Shesterkin’s struggles, looking back at Henrik Lundqvist’s time when he struggled, Blake Wheeler’s strong play, Jimmy Vesey playing well and Barclay Goodrow coming back so quick after a huge hit to the face.

I'm happy we're slipping. I don't want the President's trophy. I dont want to perfect all season and over gas ourselves.
I'm happy we have Shesty Quick drama. That's a great place to be. This isn't a glass half empty/hall full situation. It's like the glass is 90% full and I'm so happy to be a Rangers fan right now.
3rd sweater terrible. Liberty is even worse. They should pay homage to the team they ran out of the Garden. The New York Americans.
The Rangers have a lot of young guys who likely looked up to JQ, growing up. You don't think they'd play different for their childhood heroes? Where Igor, is kind of on the same level as these guys as far as age and experience. Just a question.
I agree with Brian Boyle on the white liberty jerseys. They were gorgeous!!
This team pisses me off the core doesn’t have the heart or the will to really put it all on the line they’re chumps
The main point that needs to be addressed after yesterdays game and in general more in this podcast, is speed or more precisely, the lack of it, The Rangers have indeed stepped up and become a faster playing team this season… however…. Both the Leafs and the Islanders have for many years been the fastest pace/puckmoving teams in the NHL, so what became obvious to me after yesterdays game was that Rangers still have a way to go to come up to speed(pun intended). Beating these two teams or at least measuring up to their tempo should be a goal. We cant lay all the blame of the loss yesterday on Shesty.., then we are missing the mark, the faster pace game (represented by Leafs) IS the main issue.. and from my point of view was also the main reason why the Rangers flunked in the post season 22/23 after a great regular season. I hope PL are aware of and are addressing this problem.
It's a "sweater" in hockey. I like the Rangers 3rd "sweater". Love the dark blue.
I think that Igor needs to freeze the puck more. Sometimes he just puts it in the corner and they can't get out of the zone. He just has to realize they he's finally got a big time face off team.
Seems like when a player has a kid the game goes to shit and they have to find it again. First Mika, now, Shesty. Hopefully, none of the players ever have twins
2018 Winter classics the best!
Although these thirds are nice sorry Mollie the Liberty's meh lol
Brian Boyle confirmed cat hater
LEETTTSSSS GOOOOOOOO
I hope if we start Quick more often that Shesty doesn’t get in his head too much and just work on his game, and find the Drive Find that Vezna Quality he has!
Molly: “rejuvanize”? What’s that a NY Post word? Said when describing Quick v. LA game. Now the Post can invent words? Ugh
I agree with Mollie about the size of the crest – they should have made it 2/3 of the size. Referring to them as sweaters goes back to the old days when they actually were sweaters instead of the jerseys of today.
Can someone replace mollie please?
