Episode 57: The Great Kenny Albert
On Episode 57 of the Tri-State Hockey Podcast, Arthur Staple and Mike Rupp are holding down the fort with Jonny Lazarus away for this episode — but don’t worry, Jonny will return for the next show. Arthur and Rupp are joined by legendary broadcaster Kenny Albert for a wide-ranging conversation about his incredible career calling hockey, football, baseball and basketball, taking over as the television voice of the New York Rangers following Sam Rosen, and some of his greatest memories from Madison Square Garden. Kenny takes the guys behind the scenes of calling the Olympic gold medal game between the United States and Canada, including Jack Hughes’ golden goal, how he prepares for iconic calls and the emotion surrounding Team USA’s victory. He also shares stories from the Rangers’ 1994 Stanley Cup run, the history of the Rangers-Islanders-Devils rivalries, working alongside generations of New York broadcasters and what makes a player a natural fit for a future career in broadcasting. After the interview, Arthur and Rupp break down the latest around the New Jersey Devils and Luke Evangelista, changes under the new NHL CBA, Bo Horvat being named captain of the New York Islanders, why Matthew Schaefer doesn’t need the “C” just yet and what the shortened NHL training camp and preseason could look like.TIMESTAMPS0:00 – Welcome to Episode 57 | Jonny Lazarus is away0:52 – Kenny Albert joins the show1:41 – Kenny on calling multiple sports and his broadcasting career7:21 – Taking over the Rangers TV booth after Sam Rosen12:34 – Kenny Albert’s Olympic experience13:17 – Calling the USA-Canada gold medal game17:36 – How Kenny prepares for historic calls19:24 – Planning Stanley Cup and gold medal calls21:27 – Jack Hughes’ emotional postgame interview24:37 – Rangers memories and the Centennial celebrations26:29 – Calling the Rangers’ 1994 Stanley Cup Final28:04 – How the 1994 Cup run led to Kenny meeting his wife31:43 – Rangers, Islanders and Devils rivalry stories35:31 – Which NHL players could become broadcasters?42:14 – Wrapping up with Kenny Albert43:51 – Luke Evangelista’s deal and the new NHL CBA46:31 – Latest around the Devils and NHL training camps46:50 – Bo Horvat named Islanders captain47:44 – Why Matthew Schaefer doesn’t need the captaincy yet50:47 – How teams will approach the shortened training camp52:50 – Does the NHL even need preseason games?53:52 – Final thoughts and outroPresented by bet365 Hosted on Acast.

Episode 53: Player Debates & Off-Season Updates
Jonny Lazarus, Arthur Staple and Mike Rupp are back for Episode 53 of the Tri-State Hockey Podcast to break down the biggest storylines surrounding the New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers and New York Islanders as the NHL offseason continues. The guys open the show by discussing Vincent Trocheck's recent comments about choosing the Rangers because of Artemi Panarin, leading to a conversation about whether New York still has the star power to attract elite free agents. They examine Chris Drury's offseason, the perception surrounding the Rangers organization, and what the franchise must do to become a destination again. The conversation then shifts to a debate over the NHL's best center duos after a recent ranking left both the Rangers and Islanders outside the top tiers. The crew explains why Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier deserve to be among the league's elite pairings, compares Mika Zibanejad and J.T. Miller against Bo Horvat and Mathew Barzal, and discusses where each Tri-State team stacks up down the middle. Later, the guys answer listener questions, including what the Islanders need from Brayden Schenn and Ondřej Palát to justify last season's trade deadline moves, whether Bo Horvat or Mathew Barzal is more valuable moving forward, and if Dawson Mercer should already be locked into a long-term extension with the Devils. Finally, they discuss the NHL's rising salary cap, how the next wave of superstar contracts could reshape the league, and which teams are best positioned for long-term success before wrapping up the show with their Bet365 Bet of the Day and final thoughts.
