Episode 3 of the Tri-State Hockey Podcast presented by Novig dives into a packed week across New Jersey, New York, and Long Island. Jonny Lazarus, Arthur Staple, and Mike Rupp break down the Jack Hughes situation and what his absence means for the Devils’ lineup, leadership, and long-term outlook. They move into a heated Rangers discussion after the Jonathan Quick empty-net incident, questioning the team’s emotional response, development concerns, and whether the core still lacks that true “alpha.” The guys then shift to the Islanders, unpacking power-play decisions, Anders Lee vs. Kyle Palmieri on PP1, and what the Horvat/Barzal setup should look like. They wrap the episode with your voicemails, taking on development vs. drafting, coaching trust, expectations on young stars, and how teams build identity in the Tri-State market. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Show Open 02:11 – Devils Segment 13:58 – Rangers Segment 47:32 – Islanders Segment 55:16 – Voicemail Segment Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday and Friday on the Daily Faceoff Network , and join the conversation by sending in your own voicemails for next week’s show!
