Podcast:Tri-State Hockey Podcast Published On: Fri Feb 20 2026 Description: Jonny Lazarus, Arthur Staple, and Mike Rupp are back for Episode 26 of the Tri-State Hockey Podcast, presented by NoVig & Proraso — and this time they’re LIVE from the Atrium inside Ideal Glass Studios in New York City. In front of a packed Tri-State crowd, the guys kick things off by reflecting on the growth of the show and what it means to bring the podcast to a live audience in Manhattan. From there, they blend Milan Games analysis with Tri-State identity — breaking down Devils, Rangers, and Islanders representation, role usage in short-tournament hockey, specialty teams impact, and how Olympic deployment shapes perception back home. There’s lineup talk, pressure debates, and what these performances could signal for the stretch run once the NHL season resumes. Plus: crowd roll calls, sponsor banter, Producer Vick’s voicemail presence, and a full live-show atmosphere from start to finish.Timestamps0:13 – Live intro + thanking the crowd at Ideal Glass Studios3:30 – Tri-State fan roll call (Rangers, Devils, Islanders)9:04 – Arthur Staple intro + Olympic perspective13:42 – Mike Rupp intro + tournament intensity discussion19:10 – Sponsor banter + Producer Vick / voicemail setup24:12 – Devils & Rangers Milan deployment breakdown31:08 – Islanders representation + short-tournament mentality37:40 – Live crowd reactions + pressure debate44:18 – What Milan Games performance means for NHL stretch run49:11 – Final thoughts + wrap-up & live show outroPresented by Novig Hosted on Acast.
