About this episode

Podcast number two this week. Jim Cerny breaks down the Rangers’ 7-1 loss in New Jersey, a night that looked a lot like the last two seasons after a 6-2 start. He covers the roster moves first: Taylor Raddysh is up from Hartford, Jaroslav Chmelar goes back down, and the Wolf Pack signed veteran goalie James Reimer to a PTO. Then he walks through the game: J.T. Miller’s late first-period turnover, the second-period collapse, Dylan Garand getting pulled, and why chasing games is a problem for this team without Igor Shesterkin. The Rangers visit Columbus on Saturday.Chapters00:00 Intro: a second Rink Rap this week03:11 Raddysh up, Chmelar down03:57 Why Sullivan doesn’t trust the fourth line10:19 What Raddysh brings13:53 James Reimer PTO and goalie depth20:50 The Devils game: Miller’s turnover24:47 Second-period collapse31:00 Why one game shouldn’t cause panic35:00 Wrap-up and what’s next
