Vince Mercogliano of USA Today, Lohud.com and NorthJersey.com talks about his experience covering the Rangers in the first week back at practice.

Is it a true competition, or does Igor Shesterkin have the inside track against Henrik Lundqvist and Alex Georgiev? Plus, Kaapo Kakko looks quicker and leaner than he did before the break, and Vince shares some thoughts on Brendan Lemieux’s looming suspension and explains how the Rangers are preparing for games without him. Should Artemi Panarin be the Ted Lindsay Award winner over Nathan MacKinnon and Leon Draisaitl? And did Adam Fox get snubbed by not being a Rookie of the Year nominee? Intro song is “Leave the Lights On” by Passafire from their 2009 album, “Everyone On Everynight.” Episode 159.
