siddious Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Rick is a nice guy but he's been phoning it in for a while now. Mercogliano is the man if he takes over that would be awesome. Though I hope he keeps doing his podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Carpinello. Blueshirts Brotherhood. Same difference. Give the gig to us! Edit: Yeah, Mercogliano would be great. Edited October 18, 2021 by Sharpshooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercogliano is the man if he takes over that would be awesome. Though I hope he keeps doing his podcast. It's just now what he signed up to do anymore. From his column: Quote Players on Zooms or in press-conference settings only. No locker rooms. No relationships. No one-on-ones. I have yet to have a conversation with Alexis Lafrenière. I don’t think I’ve had a personal talk with Chris Kreider since he signed his contract. I have zero relationship with Gallant. This is a problem that one day, fingers crossed, will change.

Cash or Czech Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I'm okay with less boomer takes from a paid news site. Thanks for your effort, I guess? Hope they find a strong replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they find a strong replacement. There is a fine line between "boomer takes" and the younger bent in the direction of all analytics. There has to be a happy medium between Carp telling my Trouba is actually great, and the Dom Luszczyszyn/Shayna Goldman telling Me Goodrow is the worst because his turds average 2.435 inches in length. Give me analysis with some solid contacts and relationships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me analysis with some solid contacts and relationships. Trouble is he had neither. I don't like the analytics-only approach either. I like a nice combo of what we're seeing on the ice reinforced by analytics. The Athletic has some great writers who do this in other sports. I want to see it adapted for the Rangers. He reads like my dad wrote it, and my dad, well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect that you wrote his name out correctly because after the third z I would just start smacking my keyboard and hoping no one notices 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravesy Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hooray. Fucking outstanding news. Hopefully they find someone that makes the Rangers section of the Athletic relevant again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Heaven Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Is Staple going to be the full time Rangers writer going forward since Kevin Kurz is coming to cover the Islanders via San Jose?

Phil Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Sounds like it. Staple said something recently that the plan was to cover the Rangers full-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I was hoping they were going to hire Vince M.. Hopefully not having double duty helps.. Carp gets shit on, but he did produce a good bit of content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Joe Micheletti, he has graduated from NY's B team to NY's A team now. Congrats to him. Hope he does a better job than Carp did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
