   Ep. 243 Friends and Rivals Podcast: A Frenzied Look At The NHL!

   It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 243 and we've got plenty floating around to discuss. The Devils pay no attention to defense, the Islanders and Penguins struggle, and the Rangers are doing great but they might have had the worst week of anyone, losing their star goaltender for the season. And what do 66% of bonehead plays in sports have in common? Why, the NFC East, of course! Hear all about it on FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 243!

   Ep. 242 Friends and Rivals Podcast: LET'S BUBBLE WRAP JACK HUGHES!

   It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 242 and if we are experts on ONE thing, it's how to be not funny. And we saw what you did AJ. You can't tell someone who doesn't laugh at your stupid joke that he has no sense of humor! The Devils get off to a slow start, the Islanders finally lose to a Ranger or Devil, the Rangers get their feet under them early in the season, and the Penguins seek to make depth their key to success. We go over our favorite aspects of Grease 2 and witness a mile-high club of sorts on FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 242!

   Ep. 241 Friends and Rivals Podcast: Tis The Season! (2026-27)

   It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 241 and the NHL season is about to Face Off! We got updates from the Rangers and Islanders and Penguins and...Steve? Steve? Oh no, we don't know what's happening with the Devils. We know that half the Penguins are already injured even though the season hasn't started, and the ones that aren't injured are dealing with family members being h'ors d'oeuvres for Siberian wildlife. The Islanders are waiting a year and the Rangers can go any which way but most likely you won't see any of us in the playoffs. But at least we have FREINDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 241!
