Apparently Bill got hit in the head while writing this intro. Its actually the beginning of season 2 of the Friends and Rivals Podcast. Sure its odd to do 1 show then take a 3 week vacation but its August. This month sucks for hockey. So, there's August and Everything After!

It's the end of season 1 of our podcast! Nick tells us what kind of offer Lou Lamorillo has that we can't refuse. Steve with a "v" is jacked up for Dougie Hamilton's addition to the Devils, but what about Corey Crawford? Tom's Rangers order a side of grits. And Billy's Penguins...they are downgrading at every position and they just get worse by the day. And as we step away for a short hiatus this NHL offseason, we tell our faithful listeners that YOU NEVER WALK ALONE! All on Episode 36 of FRIENDS AND RIVALS!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 81 and the boys of summer are back for this season's final episode to tell you what's going on around the NHL. Hockey never rests! The Penguins are a mirror image of the Penguins, the Rangers tweak, the Devils go for wholesale changes, and no one really knows what Lou and the Islanders are up to. We got your trivia, your impressions, your stomach, and all that in our season 2 finale! Don't miss us too much, and take the time away to catch up on The Orville on Hulu. It's amazing. But not as amazing as FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 81!

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 34! We discuss the most one sided trade since the white man took Manhattan. At least the natives got some beads out of it. Who was protected in the expansion draft, and who was left exposed? Which players are our beloved Devils, Islanders, Penguins, and Rangers going to lose? And what about the Fly...oh wait f*** the Flyers. This is the first episode where we never mentioned that, so, I am mentioning it now. And, HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT...a very special guest joins us; STANLEY CUP CHAMPION NIKITA KUCHEROV!!!! Find out what they are always after his lucky charms. You can't miss episode 34 of Friends and Rivals! Actually, that's not true. It will take minimal effort to miss it, if I'm being honest. But you'd only be hurting yourself, and we love you, and want what's best for you. So listen.

FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 31 - JOEY'S FAVORITE FOOD IS SANDWICHES

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 31! So no one told you life was gonna be this way. Habs are a joke, Isles broke, and Nick is M.I.A. The Lightning struck for a second year, when it hasn't been Steve's day, Tom's week, Bill's month, or Marcel's year, but

Fox will be there for you (on his Norris Trophy tour)

Theo will be there for you (Vezina is his allure)

Kirill will be there for you (Calder there for me too)

(clap clap clap clap). I know that's not where the clap goes in the song. The clap never comes at a convenient time let's face it.

It's the 30th episode of FRIENDS AND RIVALS! What do we think of when we think of the number 30? Hall of Famer Martin Brodeur! What do we think of when we think of Martin Broduer? Divorcing one sister so that you can marry the other! Friends and Rivals is a family affair, so grab your wife and your sister-in-law, especially if they are two different people, and tune in! We got everything you need to know in round 3 of these NHL playoffs. What nonsensical double standard is keeping Mathew Barzal from getting suspended for making a pinata out of his opponent's head? How do the Islanders move on from an 8-0 game 5 loss? Is Marc-Andre Fleury blowing the semi-finals for Vegas? And of course, the Rangers can't go one week without trying to make it all about them. They hired a coach. Whoopty-do. See you on the unemployment line in 2-3 seasons Gerard. We also finish part 2 of the worst game ever played which I hate, hate, HATE, and no, it's not because I got one out of 14 correct, when even if I guessed I should have gotten at least 25% correct because it's multiple choice! Although, I did have one write-in vote, which doesn't seem smart, in retrospect. There's a lot we need to cover is what I'm sayin', so tune in to FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 30 RIGHT....NOW!!!!

It's Episode 32 of FRIENDS AND RIVALS and this is your one-stop shop for everything tangentially related to the NHL! You have made us your trusted source for hockey news in our inaugural 2020-21 NHL season coverage, and why WOULDN'T you? The season is over; Tampa has won the Stanley Cup, and in this episode you will hear about making preparations for hurricanes in western Florida, the fascinating geysers of Yellowstone National Park, trolling your own children, joke-time with Steve, and a special segment about grill care. What other NHL show will do that for you? Certainly not all of those "successful" NHL podcasts. Chiclets, shmiclets. You know where it's at. It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 32! And we DO bring up the Lightning vs Canadiens by the way.

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 28 and it's as holy as it gets! Nick's New York Saints are one game away sending the whining Boston Bruins home for the summer and lining up their semi-final matchup against the Lightning. We talk about what we learned from the expansion drafts of the past, and who we want to see our teams protect when the Kraken come knockin'. Play along with Trivia with Bill to test your geographical knowledge north of the border; it's Tom's new favorite segment! Steve asks "How many Hughes does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a Devils tootsie pop?" Can I have a taste of your ICE CREAM?! It's the blessed 28th episode of Friends and Rivals, and it's a real SLAPSHOT!

Its FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 27! The number 27 is significant to all of us at Friends and Rivals, as we remember the greatest player ever to wear number 27 on the New Jersey Devils. Of course we are talking about the one and only Mike Mottau, who also played for the Rangers and Islanders! That number now hangs from the rafters of the Prudential Center. In today's episode, our number 1 fan joins us, Nick tells us why he's the last man standing, Steve ends the Maple Leafs' season, Tom tells us something we didn't know about the Dallas Cowboys (mostly because it's completely untrue), and Bill puts his trust in Ron Hextall (god help him). It's a real Slapshot! That's our Mottau, for Episode 27 of FRIENDS AND RIVALS!

Beware if you are a smallish NHL player just trying to do your day to day errands! Tom will find you...Nick's Islanders are still riding the lightning, and he does 7 impressions for the price of one! The Devils' document their love affair with rival Mark Messier, which has Steve and all Devils fans super-excited. Billy doesn't bother the former NHL star that HE saw last weekend, which Tom cannot understand. This episode is so classy, you can play it loud and proud even when you are staying in the Guy Lafleur suite! It's EPISODE 29 of FRIENDS AND RIVALS, now go! Mind your own business!
