Show Notes
After a brief hiatus, Up In The Blue Seats returns with a powerful and emotional episode. Mollie Walker and former Ranger Brian Boyle open the show by remembering their friend, colleague, and Hall of Fame hockey writer Larry Brooks, who recently passed away at 75 after a short battle with cancer. Mollie and Brian share heartfelt stories, personal reflections, and behind-the-scenes memories of Larry’s legendary career, his impact on the Rangers community, and the indelible mark he left on journalism, the NHL, and everyone who knew him.
The crew then dives into the Rangers recent stretch including Adam Fox being placed on LTIR, Artemi Panarin’s resurgence and how the team can’t afford to lose him, and how the OT win over the Stars could help kickstart the Rangers on home ice.
