Episode 70: Schaefer Deserves Better | Tri-State Hockey Podcast

The New York Islanders continue to struggle, the New York Rangers pick up a much-needed comeback win, and the New Jersey Devils keep rolling!
Jonny Lazarus, Mike Rupp, and Arthur Staple are back for Episode 70 of the Tri-State Hockey Podcast, presented by bet365!

The guys start with the Islanders' frustrating loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, Matthew Schaefer trying to do too much, the team's ongoing power play struggles, and declining attendance at UBS Arena. Is the organization doing enough to build around its young superstar?

Then, the Rangers battle back to beat the Philadelphia Flyers! The guys discuss a massive win for New York, the emergence of Will Cuylle and Taylor Raddysh's replacement options, Mike Sullivan's praise for Ty Kartye, and what the Rangers should do with their fourth line moving forward.

Finally, the Devils continue their strong start with another victory over the St. Louis Blues. Jack Hughes is heating up, Anthony Mantha is finding his scoring touch, and Luke Hughes continues to impress.
