Welcome to Episode 9 of the Tri-State Hockey Podcast, presented by Novig, as Jonny Lazarus, Arthur Staple, and Mike Rupp dive deep into a chaotic stretch for the Rangers, Devils, and Islanders and the emotional whiplash that comes with three teams whose fortunes swing every 36 hours.
From overtime heartbreak against Vegas and Colorado, to Connor Sheary’s role in the top-six, to the debate over prospects being blocked, the guys break down why New York is suddenly defending like a Sullivan-built playoff team — and why back-to-back OT losses can still feel like progress.
The Devils’ slide, scoring drought, and fragile bench energy take center stage, along with the looming Quinn Hughes discussion and whether this is truly a Jack-Hughes-wait-it-out phase.
The Islanders’ depth, Cal Ritchie’s impact, and whether Pageau’s return shifts the forward structure round out a loaded show. Plus: officiating fury, and why the Metro can flip in a week.
