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.

What if I told you in October the Islanders would have an 18-year-old phenom set multiple rookie scoring records and carry the team averaging 24 minutes a game, the PK would improve to 9th in the league, they would be undefeated in OT, the Rangers and Devils would both miss the playoffs AND the Islanders would still miss the playoffs??? Unbelievable. Not only 8-12 but in 16 games couldn't even find their way to OT. That Ottawa loss coupled with Deangelo being out was their deathblows. By the way to all of the Darche haters, what if he didn't believe in the team and was a seller at the deadline? They'd be calling for his head then too. Giving up the top prospects for Kyrou would have been a huge mistake. Schenn was a good trade and the 2 other trades meant nothing. Roy was in over his head and constantly had his lines in a blender. You are not trading Sorokin. Should we go back to the days of suiting up 29 goalies between Rick Dipietro's debut and Ilya Sorokin's debut???? And they seem to leave out the Dobson trade with Heineman scoring 22 goals. Viktor Eklund?? Aitcheson? Stop already
Arthur has been pretty positive that major moves are coming to Isles roster. I wonder if he knows something
The cold open of silence before the opening theme is everything
3 stooges another big body with nico? you mean a SNP for Jack and a PWF for jack? bratt Nico Meier ply TWF PWF Jack PLY SNP PWF marchment yes but not mantha are we okay arthur? Jack needs a PWF like mctavish,marchment etc. why does nico need all the size? marchment is big for nothing. Targets:Kyrou,Boeser,McCann,bjorkstrand,lekkimakki,Stammer? marchessault mctavish,crouse,Tuch,Rust,Hertl,barbashev,perascak,Young top 6 SNP/PWF,michkovi,fantill. yeah get bigger and slower right? also how many damn LHF do we need?
To rupper’s point about adding a bigger top 6 forward, maybe they go after Alex Tuch in Fa. Or try to get tom wilson from the caps. Caps could be looking to get younger if ovi retires, we already saw them ship out carlson
