Jonny Lazarus, Arthur Staple and Mike Rupp are back on episode 17 of the Tri-State Hockey podcast, and it was a rough one for two-thirds of the Metro teams. All three Tri-State clubs lost last night, but the vibes couldn't be more different:The Islanders remain steady, showing heart and process even in defeat. Meanwhile, the Devils are in free-fall — fragile, broken, and searching for leadership after another ugly loss (including that brutal 9-0 beatdown). The Rangers continue their maddening inconsistency — hot starts, killer turnovers, no pushback, and a whole lot of "here we go again" energy.Timestamps:00:00 - Intro & grim recap (all 3 teams lose)01:45 - Jersey John's devastating voicemail — Devils darkness05:15 - Quinn Hughes miss — turning point or excuse?09:05 - Jesper Bratt slump & leadership issues 15:05 - Keefe's "perception vs reality" quote reaction18:20 - Fire Fitz / Fire Keefe conversation30:07 - Islanders praise35:20 - Barzal's evolution & "what do you need" mentality43:15 - Brett's great voicemail — Barzal playoff riser defence50:28 - Rangers frustration — turnovers, no pushback, pride missing01:07:25 - Voicemail — Drury criticism & long-term Rangers gloom01:13:24 - Dolan patience, culture change, & what's next01:15:35 - Upcoming games + Novig betting picksPresented by NovigNew episodes drop weekly — don't miss the Tri-State drama!
