Rangers Debate at Mustang Harry’s: Greentree, Fox and Who Plays Center

Jim Cerny takes Rink Rap on the road to Mustang Harry’s, steps from Madison Square Garden, on Veterans Day. The Rangers are in Calgary for game three of a four-game trip, and Jim starts with the one game they lost in their last five.

He explains why the 60 minutes in Edmonton might be the team’s best of the past two weeks, even with Dylan Garand’s early turnover to Connor McDavid. He also covers what to watch against Calgary, including a league-best penalty kill facing a good Flames power play, and Brennan Othmann’s first game against the Rangers.

The center spot gets most of the attention. Joe Veleno is out until at least mid-January, Cole Beaudoin is hurt in Hartford, and the trade of Vincent Trocheck left almost no depth behind it. Jim explains why Gawdin got the call over Greentree, who leads AHL rookies with eight goals and the AHL with seven power-play goals.

Ted Calamaris joins for a long conversation.
