After the Rangers concluded one of the ‘least enjoyable’ seasons in the team’s history, Mollie Walker, Larry Brooks and Brian Boyle discuss what went wrong for the Blueshirts, why they decided to move on from head coach Peter Laviolette, and what comes next for core pieces like Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad.

Like to see Brian on the Staff …..
Thanks so much to the 3 of you for what you do. I really enjoyed each of your podcasts this year for the honesty and insight you all provided. I'm a Ranger fan since the early 60's so my feelings about this year was nothing new. I'm actually kind of glad they didn't make a last ditch effort this year because we all knew it would have been embarrassing. I'm happier they'll have the summer off to get their A$$es wired back up right for next year.. I'm sure there's other that probably feel the same way. It will be much more fun watching the "NJ Gerbils do their 1 and done" for the next week or so.
The Boyle Callahan McDonagh Girardi teams were so tough to play against. This team was the complete opposite. They are a middle road talented team, slow small, and no desire
3 words to describe Ranger's season: Rangers rebound relinquished
Great podcast yall, absolutely enjoyed all the episodes
The players were very disappointed to see their coach go.
But somehow Drury got a new contract…..
Why does Drury get a "pass"? Does he have something on Dolan?
Zibanejad is the MAIN problem with this team. His air of entitlement is destructive to the team first mentality required in hockey. He has to be moved this summer or else designate him to the 4th line and healthy scratches next season
There must be another episode following yesterday’s bewildering Drury extension announcement!
Brian Boyle for the next Coach!!
how does drury keep his job??????
Watching game 2 of Fla v TB where Fla is manhandling their opponent. Anybody know why NYR didn’t resign Mikkola? Seems like the big capable defenseman you’d want.
James Dolan please hire Brian Boyle to the coaching staff to motivate these bums!
unfortunately hockey has gone the way of the NBA,NFL,etc.The things that differentiated them,the egos,hype,attitude & $$$$ has finally caught up with the league.i mention this in response to the latest theme of UITBS.
love the show guys, here`s to a much better next year
What a sad commentary on a team that went to the final the year previous. Not going in by Drury on the chance at Gentzl, throwing buckets of $ at Igor before his won anything. Trading assets for cheap no boobies and then getting an extension? Uhggh. Sorry to Sam Rosen. 🏒❤️
If Inhad to point to one single event that started the down-spiral.. it was when Larry Brooks leaked the Jacob Trouba trade that was in the works to Detroit. He then added the Redwings to his no trade list.. which led to $8M being tied up that could have been used to upgrade the top right wing and defense. It also cause discontention and sore feelings among some key players on the team, in addition to Barclay Goodrow being traded. Mika, Kreider, Trochek, and Lafreniere all had a bad start and an even worse drought, and the damage was done. Thanks Larry.
Mollie, you going to block people that have questions for you on here too? You media types are pathetic…
How come you guys refuse to ask Lavi and Drury these tough questions? You question everything now and talk a LOT on here, but you don't have the intestinal fortitude to actually ask these questions of the people that run the team? You guys are sad.
Larry are you going to take any ownership for giving Trouba a heads up to Dury wanting to trading him to the Red Wings? Maybe if Trouba was moved before the season started things might have been better for the team.
This team is going no where….no matter how many coaches they have…
They are not built to win in the playoffs….
Great season of Up in the Blue Seats- Larry, Brian & Mollie did a great job. I wish I could say that about Rangers.
Hope Drury learned his lesson on Jim Ramsay, Barclay Goodrow and Jacob Trouba dismissals and memo to fellow GMs regarding Kreider. He should have known better having been a great player. With that said our veterans were cry babies and didn’t suck it up and play to their potential after Jan 1. Onto 25-26!
