Episode 55: Pulock’s Perspective

Jonny Lazarus, Arthur Staple, and Mike Rupp are back for Episode 55 of the Tri-State Hockey Podcast, joined by longtime New York Islanders defenseman Ryan Pulock. Pulock talks about the changing Islanders locker room, life under Peter DeBoer, Matthew Schaefer’s incredible rise, the bond between the Islanders’ longtime core, his career on Long Island, and much more.

After the interview, the guys hit your voicemails and break down the Devils’ coaching situation and pressure on Sheldon Keefe, whether Vladimir Tarasenko makes sense for the Rangers, the importance of J.T. Miller, and what the Islanders need from Ilya Sorokin and their goaltending this season.
