The Rangers have been “the avengers” this season.

For every loss the club has endured to a team, the Blueshirts have come back to beat them the next time they play.

The Rangers haven’t had many losses to speak of, either, as the team currently sits atop the Metropolitan Division in the Eastern Conference at 24-8-1.

The “Up In The Blue Seats” podcast crew Brian Boyle, Mollie Walker, Larry Brooks and Andrew Harts are here for a new episode to talk about their success.

Boyle also recalls the 2012 Winter Classic between the Rangers and Flyers and details the anticipation behind the scenes leading up to it.

Up In The Blue Seats Podcast with Brian Boyle, Mollie Walker, Larry Brooks & Andrew Harts:

  • THE AVENGERS: Coming back to play after some days off is never easy. They have not lost twice to the same team yet this season. They find their game as the game goes on. The Rangers have come back to beat teams that have beaten them before.
  • MICHAEL PECA: Important coach for the Rangers. Larry can see him going somewhere like Buffalo to be a head coach. Brian looks back to the different coaching styles in his Rangers tenure with John Tortorella and Alain Vigneault.
  • LOOKING AHEAD: Rangers in Florida back-to-back days this weekend. Tough games to close out the calendar year. Good test for them to finish strong.

2012 Winter Classic: Brian looks back at the game, his memories from playing in it and all the hype surrounding it. So many different storylines with that team with Torts. Looking back to the “24/7 Road to the Winter Classic” filming behind the scenes.
