Don’t Schmuck It Up

Rick Nash coverts on the breakaway, to the net, he scores for his 17th of the season and the Rangers lead, two to nothing. You may feel like you’re crashing NHL night but, in the world of "Don’t Schmuck It Up", no one loves the New York Rangers more than Jules and Avery, two millennials out-manning hockey reporting at ESPN’s "Off the Ice" column. These girls don’t just ride the pine until they get the Stanley Cup of breaking news; they’re at the rink after-hours and know the plays better than their dusty male counterparts, Paco and Paul.
