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.
