Episode 24: Negative, Negative, Negative | Tri-State Hockey Podcast

Jonny Lazarus, Arthur Staple, and Mike Rupp are back for Episode 24 of the Tri-State Hockey Podcast, presented by Novig — and today the vibes are loopy amid trade deadline drama, with Rangers fans anxious about Artemi Panarin's future (Tampa emerging as a frontrunner?), Devils fans reacting to Jack Hughes' blunt media comments and Olympics dilemma, and Islanders fans eyeing a potential dip after two straight losses.

The Rangers' Panarin saga drags on — the guys debate rental vs. extension packages, potential destinations like Tampa, Seattle, or Vegas, and whether history repeats with Lightning poaching another star. Plus, a voicemail on reuniting with Darren Raddysh, trading Brayden Schneider/Will Borgen, and Jonathan Quick's recent struggles.

For the Devils, two massive games loom (Columbus tonight, Islanders Thursday) as they chase the Metro's third spot — but Jack Hughes' "I have nothing to say" to doubting fans sparks backlash, alongside debates on his injury, leadership maturity, and whether he should skip the Olympics for a playoff push. A voicemail calls for roster shakeups, from moving Timo Meier/Jesper Bratt to keeping Dougie Hamilton.

The Islanders face a back-to-back test (Penguins tonight, Devils Thursday) amid a mini-skid — discussions on riding Ilya Sorokin's elite play (top in goals saved above expected), David Rittich's slump, and the urgent need for a scoring winger to boost their dismal power play. A voicemail from Brett blasts the Rangers' GM "fumble," praises the Devils' bright future, and celebrates the Isles' hard-fought identity.
