Friends and Rivals Podcast

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 164 and enough of the preseason already! The Devils play this week in Europe but the rest of us get to wait through several more pointless games. But we discuss what's going on throughout the league with some gruesome injuries, goalie contracts, and global series games. And if you check out the YouTube feed, you'll see an award-winning PowerPoint presentation and also a couple more that didn't win awards. Plus, we talk about men's underwear, which is a topic that no one can get enough of on FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 164!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 160 and the Panthers are one win away from hoisting the Stanley Cup and putting this incredibly long playoff season to an end, finally! We talk Stanley Cup Final, the needs for the coming offseason for our teams, and how to pick the optimal time to rob a Walmart. All of this and a new microphone for Nick on FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 160!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 159 and just because there was a 12 week break between the Conference Finals and the Stanley Cup Finals, and just because all of our teams are out of it, doesn't mean we didn't have plenty to discuss! There's um...cricket and uh...tennis and frisb...I mean disc golf. And we talk about the super creepy Stanley Cup guy all on FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 159!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 158 and the good news, Rangers fans, is that you're not Islanders fans or Penguins fans or Devils fans or (Fuck the) Flyers fans. So it could be way worse. But the Rangers ran up against a team that's straight up better and built for the playoffs in the Florida Panthers, so they will try again next season. What's next for the Blueshirts in their quest to end their long Stanley Cup drought? And if only there was a hero on this podcast...how could he help? Oh wait...there is! Find out why on this week's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 158!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 157 and the Rangers are 6 wins away from the ultimate prize. How did they go up 2-1 in the conference finals while largely being outplayed? The answer rhymes with Narplay Foodrow. We discuss the signing of "Do it to me big" Sheldon Keefe by the New Jersey Devils, and a silly Islanders swap of draft picks. Can you hit three heads with one shot? Find out on FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 157!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 156 and the Rangers are on their way to the Conference Finals. After Bill nailed a Weekly WTF Bold Prediction for a Rangers game 6 win in Carolina, the Panthers finished off the Bruins to set up a New York vs Miami series with a trip to the Stanley Cup Finals on the line. We get you up to date on what else is happening at Madison Square Garden, and some not-so-wholesome-activities at Whole Foods on FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 156!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 155 and this week the Rangers look to put away Carolina for once and for all while the Devils try to find their next head coach. We talk basketball the way only white people can (poorly) and defend one of the NHL's most beloved players, Brad Marchand. Think of this episode as a four hour shootout with a SWAT team where no one gets hurt. It can only happen on FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 155!
