Anyhoo...we are back and we're going to update you on the NHL offseason! The Penguins got their man Erik Karlsson AND reduced their cap hit through some kind of weird voodoo.

It's the FINAL EPISODE OF FRIENDS AND RIVALS! (Don't panic. We just mean for this season. We'll be back in September.)

The Penguins replace their goalie with their goalie and start hoarding former Devils and Maple Leafs. The Rangers do some bargain shopping. The Devils opened up their checkbook to bring back all of

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 120 and a lot happened in the 24 hours since our last episode. The Golden Knights thrashed the Florida Panthers once more to win the Stanley Cup. The Rangers FINALLY named a head coach and even introduced him 6 days later. The Devils signed Jesper Bratt and are just lucky that he doesn't wear a number in the 80s. We discuss our nominees for the Hockey Hall of Fame, and also who we think has no business even going there as a visitor. We share one of the

Friends and Rivals Podcast ·

2023/06/13

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 119 and so much for writing our headline a week ahead in anticipation. The Rangers are dragging out this announcement longer than The Spaghetti Incident. What will we see with the naked eye first: a new Rangers coach or Halley's Comet? It's been so long since the Rangers had a head coach that back then, Luis Castillo could still catch a pop fly. The last time the Rangers had a head coach, Joe Biden was coherent. The Rangers have been without a head coach

2023/05/16

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 115 and the Devils run came to an abrupt and rather one-sided end, but what does the future hold for this young and talented team? Which RFAs will surely return and which could be on the move? The Rangers come up with a wild conspiracy that could land them a multiple-time Stanley Cup winning coach, but why would the Penguins be motivated to be that stupid? The NHL's final four have come into focus; a couple of franchises are relatively new (to a 40+ year old)

Head over to Millenium Park to see the giant chrome bike helmet, and have a hot dog at an afternoon game over at Wrigley Field. Bedard is guaranteed to be the top athlete to play in the city since Al Bundy scored 4 touchdowns in a single game. So grab a Deep Dish and watch the shittiest team in the NFL west of the

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 113 and who knew after almost 2 decades that the Devils fans' favorite chant would finally be relevant? Since the NHL is OVER for us we change our podcast focus to the New York Knicks! OK not really. But where did the Islanders and Rangers go wrong, and how did the Devils right the ship after going down 2-0? And the Jacob Trouba debate rages on! Is Trouba a "dirty" player?
