#80: Goodbye Quick & Are the Rangers One of the Worst Run Franchises?
Description
Episode 80 of Blueshirt Bandwidth is the Kevin Weeks episode. Joe is on a cruise, so Chip fills in, and the two cover a lot of ground: Jonathan Quick's retirement and what it means for the backup goaltending picture next year (Eric and Chip disagree), the Drew Fortescue healthy scratch that cost him $80,000 and probably didn't need to happen, and The Athletic's NHL agent poll ranking the Rangers the second-worst franchise in the league—which says at least as much about agent butthurt as it does about Chris Drury. Charlie Vidal handles the Ombudsman Report, Rick Bowness says something unhinged about his own Columbus Blue Jackets roster, and J.T. Miller opened up to Vince Mercogliano about being booed in a way that left Eric more sympathetic than he expected. Then it's Q&A: Trocheck trade scenarios, the ceiling and floor for next year, which New York team wins a championship first, and what the 2026-27 Rangers slogan should be. Give it a listen!
