  Bonus Bandwidth: Yankees vs. Red Sox Preview

  Sep 28, 202635 min

  It's not Blueshirt Bandwidth—it's Pinstripe Bandwidth, as Eric and Chip preview the playoffs and the Yankees' Wild Card Series against the Red Sox. They debate whether Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton belong on the postseason roster, make the case for Cam Schlittler's historic season, and pick apart a trade deadline that left an overworked bullpen to fend for itself. Plus, how MLB's playoff format guarantees a lopsided ALCS, and why a front office content to just get in and hope has Eric and Chip wondering if the era of Yankee exceptionalism is over.

  Episode #103

  #103: Is Alberts Smits Already an Opening-Night Lock?

  Sep 24, 20261h 20m

  Episode 103 of Blueshirt Bandwidth is the Tom Poti Episode—fitting for a show that, like Poti, could go either way—and Joe shares how a drunk fan at the Garden gave Poti a nickname that stuck in his family for years. With Eric out, Joe and Chip react to Urho Vaakanainen getting sent to Hartford, make the case that Alberts Smits walks into the opening-night lineup, and work through a waiver crunch involving Scott Morrow, Matthew Robertson, Vincent Iorio and Matt Rempe, plus why carrying three goalies makes no sense for anyone. They also debate whether Will Cuylle prices himself out of New York, why Devils fans can't stop watching the Rangers, whether New Jersey can land Connor Hellebuyck, and why Chris Drury gets held to a different standard than Winnipeg and Detroit. Plus: surprise and disappointment picks around the league, game-day superstitions and Joe's post-Disney depression. Give it a listen!

  Episode #102

  #102: No Perreault Extension & Canadien Kreider

  Sep 17, 20261h 27m

  Episode 102 of Blueshirt Bandwidth is the Brian Leetch Episode—Joe and Eric run through the short list of significant Rangers who've worn No. 2 before diving into the week's biggest storylines: Chris Kreider's landing spot in Montreal and whether a reunion ever made sense, the Rangers' quiet (and frustrating) inaction on a Gabe Perreault extension before the CBA's eight-year deal deadline, and Connor Hellebuyck's reported refusal to report to Winnipeg's training camp. Plus rookie camp overreactions, Scott Morrow's crowded path to Broadway, and listener mailbag questions on GM job security, preseason strategy, favorite Bond movies, and more. Give it a listen!

  Episode #101

  #101: Re-sign Gabe Perreault Now!

  Sep 10, 20261h 25m

  Episode 101 of Blueshirt Bandwidth is the Ed Giacomin Episode. Joe and Eric dive into Fraser Minten's new seven-year, $7.2 million deal with Boston and what it means for a Gabe Perreault extension, debating what number is too high for an eight-year deal. From there, a Quinn Hughes trade scenario involving the Wild and a possible Godfather offer for Dylan Larkin, whether Chris Drury's seat is actually warming up now that Quentin Dolan is running the organization, and whether the Rangers' $36.75 million defense corps is a legitimate top-two group in the league. Plus: bourbon rankings, the Nathan Fielder-Elizabeth Holmes documentary trailer, and the one NHL legend they each wish had actually been a Ranger. Give it a listen!

  Episode #100

  #100: We Made It to 100 Episodes

  Sep 3, 20261h 7m

  It's the 100th episode of Blueshirt Bandwidth. They said we wouldn't get here. Who said that? We're not sure, but they definitely exist and they definitely said it. We guess this is the John Davidson Episode, as he's the only Ranger to have worn 00 in a game. Joe is calling in from a hotel with poor internet and no video, marking the milestone with (fittingly) the roughest audio setup in the show's history. From there, Joe and Eric break down the reported Eeli Tolvanen signing—a one-year, $1.5 million deal—and what it means for the bottom nine, sketching out new forward combinations and debating who gets squeezed out (Taylor Raddysh, Matt Rempe, Adam Sykora) versus who should actually be the 13th forward. They also revisit the Scott Morrow debate, argue over how many more years the Rangers can lean on a 28-year-old Adam Fox and 30-year-old Igor Shesterkin, and reopen the case for the franchise's worst trade ever—Sergei Zubov and Petr Nedved for Ulf Samuelsson and Luc Robitaille, or Pavel Buchnevich for a practically nothing. Plus: where Connor Hellebuyck could actually land and if Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid will command the max in their next contracts. Give it a listen!
