Podcast: Joe Haggerty

Joe Haggerty of Comcast SportsNet New England joined me to talk about the Boston homecoming for former Bruins Tyler Seguin and Tim Thomas with the Bruins in town to face the Rangers.

The Bruins are in New York for the first time this season and for the first time since Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. And on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden the Rangers will face the Bruins for the first time since their Game 5 and season-ending loss back in May.

Joe Haggerty of Comcast SportsNet New England and CSNNE.com joined me to talk about the Bruins’ decision to trade Tyler Seguin because of his immaturity, Tim Thomas’ Boston homecoming with the Panthers and how Jarome Iginla is fitting in with the Bruins after snubbing them for the Penguins at last season’s trade deadline.

Podcast: Brian Monzo

Brian Monzo of WFAN joins me to talk about why he supposedly didn’t care about the NHL entering this season and where Henrik Lundqvist will play next year.

It took the Rangers nearly a month to get their season on track, but they have done so by winning seven of their last 10 games and climbing out of their early 2-6 hole. I wasn’t sure if Mike’s On: Francesa on the FAN producer Brian Monzo had even watched the first month-plus of the NHL season after he wrote a blog on Opening Night saying how he didn’t care that the NHL was back.

Monzo joined me to talk about the state of the NHL, why he is against the league’s front office and rule changes, whether or not NHL players should play in the Olympics, if the Islanders made the right decision trading Matt Moulson for Thomas Vanek and where Henrik Lundqvist will play next season.

Podcast: John Jastremski

John Jastremski of WFAN joins me to talk about the Yankees’ potential offseason plans while the Red Sox are busy playing in the World Series.

The Yankees’ offseason is now in its fourth week, but Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte’s retirement and the idea that the Yankees are only returning 40 percent of their starting rotation next season aren’t the worst things to happen to the Yankees since their season ended on Sept. 29. The worst thing would be the Red Sox in the World Series and going for their third championship since 2004 while there hasn’t been baseball in the Bronx in a month.

John Jastremski of WFAN and the JJ After Dark overnight show joined me to talk about the Yankees’ potential offseason plans, how devastating and depressing it is to have the Red Sox in the World Series and we even touched on the New York football teams and let him get in a few words on his Dolphins, who have lost three games in a row.

Podcast: Mike Hurley

Mike Hurley of CBS Boston joined me to talk about the World Series and the controversial call at the end of the Jets-Patriots game.

The Red Sox are in the World Series and no, I’m not happy. I blame myself since I did zero podcasts with Mike Hurley of CBS Boston this season and since I started doing podcasts after the 2010 Winter Meetings, the Red Sox have been a disaster. But with the Cardinals now the last team standing between the Red Sox and a third championship since 2004, I was able to get Hurley for one last attempt to save the season and the Fall Classic.

Hurley joined me to talk about the disgusting notion of the Red Sox playing in the World Series, how this Red Sox team compares to the 2004 and 2007 teams in terms of fan attachment and we even touched on the controversial call at the end of the Jets-Patriots game and why the Patriots decided to not give Tom Brady any help this season.
