Episode 41 of the Tri-State Hockey Podcast is a full-on postmortem for the Islanders, Devils, and Rangers after all three teams officially miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Jonny Lazarus, Mike Rupp, and Arthur Staple react to the Islanders’ collapse, debate whether major roster surgery is finally coming to Long Island, and dig into the criticism surrounding Matthew Darsch, Ilya Sorokin, Bo Horvat, Mathew Barzal, and the trade-deadline additions. The guys then shift to New Jersey to talk about the Devils’ line combinations, Connor Brown’s fit, Dawson Mercer’s future, and the team’s goaltending plan heading into next season. They wrap things up with a great conversation on Jonathan Quick’s career, retirement, and legacy, plus some Rangers talk, Gabe Perreault contract chatter, and the usual chaos to close the show.0:00 Intro1:25 Joey from Long Island sets the tone3:07 Islanders collapse reaction10:10 Matthew Darsch criticism and fan frustration19:00 Should the Islanders consider moving Ilya Sorokin?29:10 Which Islanders pieces could be moved this summer?42:35 Final Islanders voicemail and Brayden Schenn debate55:21 Matthew Schaefer as the lone bright spot57:17 Devils voicemail: should New Jersey keep the current top line together?1:00:20 Devils line combos, Dawson Mercer, and top-six needs1:07:42 Devils goaltending outlook for next season1:12:23 Jesper Bratt, Devils positives, and what still works1:17:01 Jonathan Quick retirement discussion and legacy1:25:35 Gabe Perreault contract talk and Rangers future1:28:02 Jonny gets recruited for roller hockey1:30:05 Final Rangers note, dinner bet payoff, and closing thoughtsPresented by @bet365ca #bet365#TriStateHockey #NewYorkIslanders #NYRangers #NJDevils #NHL #HockeyPodcast #JonnyLazarus #ArthurStaple #MikeRupp #bet365 Hosted on Acast.
