It's EPISODE 225 OF THE FRIENDS AND RIVALS PODCAST and straight up, when Tom and Steve find out that I put Lindy Ruff in the title of this episode they are gonna flip the f*** out! We discuss the Spaghetti Western version of Tom Wilson and the joke that is NHL Player Safety, the return of Artemi Panarin, scoreboard watching, and an incredible enunciation lesson by Nick on FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 225!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 224 and maybe the trade deadline wasn't actually spectacular. But the Islanders got a guy. Maybe a future captain? The Devils, Islanders, and Penguins each have a hero this season but the Rangers not so much. But keeping Trocheck will have to do. We open some hockey cards, talk conspiracy, and damn it Janet it was nice to meet you at FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 224!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 223 and the Devils and Rangers fans among us can't wait for this to end, while the Islanders and Penguins fans among us are skipping happily along. What's on all of our wish lists for the NHL trade deadline? And then we put a wrap on the fabulous youth hockey career of Casey Fugere on FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 223!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 222 AND USA! USA! USA! LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you see when they brought out Goudreau's kids? I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING! And what about that Connor McDavid? Always the bridesmaid never the bride AMIRITE! You can find the rest of this script at all-original-dad-jokes.ca or just stick around to listen to FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 222!

It's EPISODE 221 OF THE FRIENDS AND RIVALS PODCAST and we are all over this Olympic Hockey thingamajig. Can anyone stop the USA Women or the Canadian Men? We'll find out soon if anyone can touch either of these heavy favorites. Then we move on to find out what Sweden actually does well. Tom and Nick get into the nitty gritty with rules about Curling as Bill contemplates suicide all on FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 221!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 220 and it's the return of your favorite game "Where's Quinn Hughes?" Apparently, the Devils knew all along. The Islanders and Penguins slide into the Olympic Break with playoff-dream momentum, while the Rangers and Devils race to stack the Sharks' roster down the stretch. It'll all make sense, sort of, when you listen to FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 220!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 219 and we have an actual hockey expert join us, Mr. Jonny Lazarus! Wait...I thought WE were hockey experts. In truth, when we get to talk to a real expert we all realize that the rest of us suck something awful. So tune in for some actual intelligent insight because it's so frickin' rare on this show. Honestly. You know, the more I type this episode synopsis, the less good I feel about myself. It's a darn good thing no one reads these. But if you are still reading, you just have to trust me that @JLazzy23 is awesome and this is a great episode, the 219th FRIENDS AND RIVALS!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 218 and if you blinked, you missed it! Tight 45? Try a tight FORTY! We give you the low down on the down low with the Penguins surging, the Devils rebounding, and the Islanders floating. We don't talk much about the Rangers who are um...dead last in the East. But the good news is that they wrote a letter, and if your team can't win, the least that they can do is keep in touch. So listen (it's truly not a huge commitment this week I promise) to FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 218!
