The vibes around the Rangers are close to immaculate right now.

The team has not lost a game in regulation in a month. They are 11-2-1 and second in the Eastern Conference. Peter Laviolette has had about as strong of a start coaching a new team as we have ever seen. Igor Shesterkin is likely back for the Rangers’ next game on Saturday.

Oh yeah, and Henrik Lundqvist entered the Hall of Fame on Monday.

All of that, plus the news Brooksie broke that Patrick Kane will not be going back to the Rangers this season. There’s a lot to get into during a new episode of “Up In The Blue Seats” podcast with Brian Boyle, Mollie Walker, Larry Brooks and Andrew Harts.

Boyle’s former Ranger teammate and NHL Network partner Mike Rupp joins the show.

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

  • NO KANE: Larry broke the news Tuesday that Kane would not be returning to the Rangers in free agency. The Rangers need to keep options open with very limited cap space. It just did not make a lot of sense for this team.
  • HOT RANGERS: An incredible 11-2-1 start to the season. Anxious to see how they match up against some of the top teams. They have embraced this system and this coach. Igor Shesterkin should be back Saturday against the Devils. Louis Domingue stepped up for the Rangers.
  • HALL OF FAME HENRIK: Larry talks about how special Henrik Lundqvist was as a player and the Hall of Fame induction ceremony Monday.

  • LAFFY COMING OUT PARTY: Alexis Lafreniere’s incredible game-tying goal with 11 seconds and his game-winner in the shootout. He’s playing with a certain edge to him.
  • TRIPLE OT MEMORY: Looking back to the 2012 playoffs and Rupper’s shot in triple OT going off the back side of Boyle.
