As this pause in the NHL season continues, the New York Rangers are doing a much better job of connecting with their fans, mostly on social media. Last week we heard from David Quinn and John Davidson, interviews that provided some insight into the future of the team.
If you haven’t checked out the New York Rangers Twitter feed (@NYRangers), you should do it. They are posting messages from the players, trivia quizzes and are promoting replays of past Ranger games. The best additions are some lengthy interviews with players and management.
In the several weeks they have posted long interviews with Mika Zibanejad, Nils Lundkvist, David Quinn and John Davidson. The latest addition features Rangers defensive prospect Matthew Robertson. They are all available in full form on the Rangers’ YouTube channel .
Additionally, they have conducted several written interviews with players like Ryan Strome on Twitter . A great feature was the Q&A with former Ranger Dan Girardi who took a lot of time to answer questions from fans.
no idea how it got stuck there and didn’t cut my face. It’s a funny moment that when I run into people it always gets brought up, mainly the kids ^G https://t.co/Prjr7pdmAv

As always, we watch these interviews and look for indications about the future including potential player movements and roster decisions. When it comes to David Quinn, the questions from fans were carefully selected by the Rangers organization so you cannot expect any revelations. We an only draw conclusions based on which unsolicited opinions he expressed about certain players. It’s a guessing game.
