It’s a brand-new episode of everyone’s favorite New York Rangers hockey podcast, “Up In The Blue Seats” with Ron Duguay. The former Ranger opens the show addressing the team’s past few games and where they are in the standings. Then, longtime Post beat writer Larry Brooks drops by the show to talk about Artemi Panarin’s terrific first season in New York, David Quinn’s line changes and whether the Rangers would consider trading Henrik Lundqvist.

Former New York Police Department detective Kevin Schroeder also comes to the studio to talk with Ron, and speaks about the Little Steven Policeman’s Ball charity event that helps raise money for the NYPD’s “With Arms Wide Open” and “Widows and Children Fund.” The event is one of two main fundraisers for the NYPD that has raised more than a million dollars over the last four years.

He brings the legendary Steven Van Zandt, a.k.a. Little Stevie, on the show. They talk about giving back, as well as their event Friday to honor Knicks and Rangers owner James Dolan for his work in the community.

Hockey Hall of Famer and Rangers great Phil Esposito then joins Doogie. He talks about his time playing with Ron in New York, their memories together, the differences in the game today and leaving the Rangers. They talk about bringing the guys back together for “Hockey Sock Rock” and the fond memories from the song. Ron tells Espo the story about the time he lost the gold record of the song and has yet to find it after that one night with one of “Barker’s Beauties.”
