It's EPISODE 216 of the FRIENDS AND RIVALS PODCAST, your Gulden Glob winner of the Best Podcast of 2025! The Rangers lose BIG to the Bruins, the Devils lose BIG to the Islanders, the Islanders win BIG against the Devils, and the Penguins lose small. We discuss the contracts that have to go, the trades that never happened, lazy Alexei Lafreniere, retired numbers, Nick Lidstrom, Pierre Turgeon, Nikki Glazer, every Hughes brother, Artemi Panarin, Nike skates, hockey cards, the Playfair family, AI accuracy, Trading Places, ugly sweaters, (sorry I have to cut this short - character limit in the description!) all on FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 216!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 215 and I'm fancy as all hell, just look at my car! The Rangers and Devils frustrate Tom and Steve, but the Penguins and Islanders have Billy and Nick dreaming of a 1st round playoff matchup! Sure the entire East is separated by 10 points and every team is over .500 somehow, but a couple of points halfway through the season sure give some of us a lot of confidence and some a sense of hopelessness. That's right, this is an unnecessarily philosophical FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 215!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 214 and there's a new #1 scorer in Penguins history, and his name is Sidney Crosby! But everything else about the Penguins sucks. The Islanders take a hit this week, the Devils have a Pop Tart in the house, and the Rangers enjoy some time away from home. We do our FAR version of Twas the Night Before Christmas and if you're not going to YouTube for that then you're missing out. Merry Christmas from FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 214!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 213 and wait...WTF happened to 212? Anyhow, Tom and Bill have a Misery-Battle, Steve laments what might have been with a full set of Hugheses, and Nick celebrates a few moments of being at the top. So if you want to hear annoyed men, this is the episode for you, FRIENDS AND RIVALS 213!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 211 and if you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain, causing you to leave a wet towel on the ground, then THIS is the podcast for you! The Rangers spiral and look for answers at every level, the Islanders cool off and get some tough injury news, the Penguins get their full team back together, and the Devils keep on grooving without the help of Tate McRae's boyfriend. And we bring it all to you in a tight forty...eight? We'll take it! So experience the RENOWNED FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 211!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 210. Friends and Rivals is our name, and Spatchcocking is our game! As we prepare for Thanksgiving, two of us are thankful for our teams I guess. And then the other two root for the Rangers and Penguins. The Isles have a homerun road trip, the Devils battle on without their top player and his "cut hand" while he is comforted by Tate McRae, and the Rangers and Penguins have no big wins and no hot team girlfriends and no players almost cutting off fingers. It's so dull for us. But you'll have a blast listening to FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 210!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 209 and our set was built with plenty of time to spare. We let you know what we're craving every day, then get into the Islanders' week of overtime heroics, the Penguins' weekend in Sweden, and the Devils' luck going from bad to worse to a severed finger. And don't miss our Tom Harkness, THIS IS YOUR LIFE! segment which we had to have in the absence of the actual Tom Harkness. So do something great for your own life and listen to FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 209!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 207. Does that get you excited? There's NOTHING wrong with our eyes. Confused? Me too. But there's no confusion about how hot Matthew Schaefer has started, how bad the Rangers have been at home, how many players have contributed to the Penguins' hot start, and how much of a disappointment Alexander Holz was to Steve. So check out the sexiest podcast FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 207!
