Stephen A for a fact doesn’t know that Thanasis was already on the NYK 😂😂
Right
And I think the Lakers too
@@tmac29nyc his other brother was on the lakers
See what Stephen A said on Fox news. Unbelievable!!!!
NBA and MLB need to make trophies the size of the Stanley cup.
This guy Stephen A once criticized the NHL for having 3 on 3 in the playoffs. All you need to know about his Hockey knowledge.
He also openly admitted to leaving game 7 at the garden rangers v devils mid game
Google Stephen A Smith and Philadelphia Flyers lol dude is playing dumb
See what Stephen A said on Fox New. Crazy!!
Don’t forget him mocking Hawks 2013 w streak because of ties despite that’s been out since 2005
New York is a Hockey Town, a Basketball Town, a Football Town, and a Baseball Town! We love all 4 sports here! Stop trying to divide us lol
but I will say this city will go insane and fall apart if the knicks win the finals more then any other NY team
nah it’s definitely a basketball city, literally every other block has people playing bball, never in my life have i seen someone play hockey
@@teriyakipigeon1838 out of the 4 major sports in this city basketball is definitely the most popular I don’t doubt that but doesn’t mean the rest aren’t especially hockey. I seen plenty of people playing it on the street and ice, I guess it just depends what neighborhood you’re in. The rangers have a huge following in this city
@@teriyakipigeon1838 Where the F would you see people playing hockey walking the streets of NYC. Do you take walks in ice rinks?
@@lc2858 exactly my point, this ain’t canada
My Guy PK😂😂😂💯👍
lol what do Shannon and Stephen a know about hockey 😂
That the stanley cup is silver lol
Well Stephen himself said the only thing he knows about Hockey is that the puck is black. His words not mine.
The amount this segment made me smile is too much 🤣 this was fun
If the Rangers win the stanley cup, big party and the world keeps spinning.
If the Knicks win the NBA Finals, National guard getting deployed to New York City, State of emergency declared and Armageddon Bruce Willis gonna have to save the city from the destruction
Facts! NYC is a basketball town!
Pretty racist
Genuine question how big is the Brooklyn nets there?
@@RickyPetersen the Nets to the Knicks are like what the Clippers are to the Lakers.
In movie terms. If NYC was a family like Harry Potter and the sports teams were the kids, The Nets would be Harry Potter forced to live under the stairs
@@RickyPetersenthe Nets had Durant and Irving and that didn’t move the needle. Knicks and Yankees baby!!
We need Mad Dog to talk some hockey too
“Y’all been babies since 73’ then”
Espn can't spell hockey if you spotted them the hock
Coming from a bulls fan who’s dating a Knicks fan, I can assure you 100% that the Knicks winning the NBA playoffs would be a much bigger deal than if they won in any other sport. NYC really gets behind their teams and my gf and her family absolutely live and die by the Knicks. Them ending the drought this year would be insane for the city
Date deez nutz!
There's no doubt NBA is big in new york but so is NHL and Rangers has been a better franchise than the knicks recently.
@@jagr06That’s why the Knicks winning will be bigger than the Rangers, because the Knick’s have been bad for so long. Although, both winning at the same time would be great as a fan of both.
In order of most important to us in nyc is 1) Yankees, 2)Knicks, 3)Rangers, 4) Giants/Jets. We don’t care about the Brooklyn nets or the NY Mets 🤣🤣🤣
@@thefishhobbyist5478 Yes the knicks only been to the playoffs 3 straight years, before that it was 13 years prior. Rangers has had the better farm system and growing young players for over a decade as opposed to the knicks overpaying for aging stars.
Ok is perfect for tv man he needs to be on this show more
That man said New York is a Hockey town 🤣🤣🤣
He's a troll
I'm almost punched my screen 😂
Yes and that is true. It is a hockey,basketball,baseball and football town
@@thenorthman515 don’t listen to Google they’re not from here. Basketball is #1, let the Knicks win the championship this year and see what happens.
New York Knicks been so bad the last decade it would make sense they watch the rangers
Stephan a calling out slewbans devil ties after hyping the rangers😂😂
Rangers are definitely the team to beat in the NHL but i will also say anything is possible in the playoffs. I have confidence in Laviolette with keeping the guys in check each game.
"yall been babies since '73 then!" lol
It was hilarious at 1:55 when Stephen dogged on PK about him playing for the New Jersey Devils and hanging out more in Suburban New Jersey.lol
LOVE PK
lol at Shannon “stuck” in a screen 😂
That was a good segment lol
The Rangers have a better chance to win a championship this year, but New York is not just a hockey town. The Knicks are more popular. 😮😮😮
Yankees the most popular ny sports team
@@Ayo_Bruh22 baseball is boring though 3rd watched sport in the US after being #1 ages ago NFL and NBA slid in front of them.. I would rather buy paint and watch it dry than watch a Yankees game in NY for free
@@mrmillennium2697 the game is alot faster now,it's actually more watchable now
@@Ayo_Bruh22Only popular because most people wear Yankee hats as a fashion statement, not really baseball fans.
@@RC_928if the Knicks ever win NYC will be nuts but NOTHING and I’m telling you as a NYer, NOTHING is bigger than the Yankees winning. The city is really different when they do.
PK claiming the success of knicks/rangers on Dolan is a joke.
This is a great upload lmao I’m not a Rangers fan lol at all Go Devils but I laughed when I heard him say the Rangers will win it all before the Knicks accomplish anything 😂😂😂 I’m used to that animosity so it’s fine 🤣💯🗣️
This guy told Molly “stay right here ….you wanna look at the Stanley Cup, tryna get his holla on, 😂😂 Molly shape was looking nice tho
I'll use this platform .
The Rangers have a better chance to win a championship this year, but New York is not just a hockey town. The Knicks are more popular.
the one time of the year y’all have a hockey segment
That's because pk subban is there
Get Em’ Stephen A 😂😂😂 I know we see Subban hanging out in New Jersey.
Love PK!!!
I need the Rangers to win just to see the look on Subbans face and Biz too
PARNELL KARL!
molly looking like she want shannon to holla!
Shoutout to PK for doing his thing
If this was just audio I would have thought dude was mad dog lol
NY fan groups:
🏈Giants
🏀Knicks
⚾️Yankees
🏒Rangers
🆚
🏈Jets
🏀Nets
⚾️Mets
🏒Islanders
It’s literally true and accurate lol!!
Shay Shay lookin zesty af 😂
I'm not a fan of either of these two guys but this was hilarious! They're trying to create problems where there are none. Fans love both teams, after all they play in the same building. Players from each team support each other. At the end of the day, PK's right, Rangers will go further, they were cream of the crop in the regular season and are DEEP. They're making a run for the CUP no question!
Why are they leaving the Islanders out, like the Islanders aren’t a New York team? Smh
Cuz NYC is different from Nassau County rangers play in the city isles play on Long Island
Only guy who’s coherent when speaking played hockey 😂😂😂
The last time the Knicks won the title was 1973. The Rangers and Islanders have won 5 Stanley Cups since.
And yet the Knicks are more popular then those two teams combined!😎
Upstate is probably more Ranger territory but NYC will die for the Knicks
@@thefishhobbyist5478 that makes perfect sense actually, either way Knicks > Rangers
*Sabres
Imagine not being able to be excited about both teams? The Garden is jumping for both teams
They are both closer than the Jets and Giants!!
Let's go Knicks !!
Yall been baby's then since '76.. Yall grandparents🤣🤣🤣 Shannon too much!!😂😂
Yeah too much of a fruit cup, see how he got out that car!😂
NYC is a basketball city. If the Knicks win a championship it would be the biggest and most celebrated championship ever. There’s more Knicks fan over the world than almost any team (last chip was 1973). Knicks are the reason they call Madison square garden the world’s most famous arena.
Doubt they have more world wide fans than the Lakers.
NYC is just a sports town period. Hockey is also wildly popular
The NYPD and FDNY yearly game is a massive deal.
Aren't there more Yankee fans around the world than Knicks?
Hockey is definetly huge in NYC the people who cant realize that or see how much of a strong following it is here are casuals and are in a bubble
Are they gonna talk about the fight bruh
I wouldn’t even mind if they don’t they suck at combat sports coverage
Does Molly know even how to spell Hockey?
People seriously underestimating how many ranger fans there are in the city and suburbs
That’s what I’m saying…Rangers are an original 6 team that plays in the greatest arena in front of sold-out crowds every night…most valuable NHL team too
SAS hating on hockey again what a shocker. He still thinks ties happen
PK real🇨🇦
I want to see my knicks and rangers win sooo bad
Molly looking mighty nice.
Voluptuous!! 😍
Isn't Stephen A often in Miami or LA.
SAS ain't talking like that to Messier .
U wanna see da cup😂😂😂😂
Is Stephen A still growing taller in his 50s? Bro looks taller every year 😂
Nobody tell him Barrett is Canadian
The Rangers are in a better position to win a Cup, than the Knicks are to win an NBA Championship. PK played for the New Jersey Devils, so that's why he'd be seen around them, more than the Rangers.
ESPN has been a disappointment to hockey. Everything has to be basketball and football decisions and the moment playoff hockey starts they give only a few minutes talking about hockey with PK . Hockey needs to be talked about more on ESPN especially when they signed a massive contract with the NHL 3 years ago.
Unlike the NBA, the NHL is wide open. The NBA Finals are guaranteed to be the Celtics vs. the Nuggets or Clippers whereas the Stanley Cup Finals could have anything from Edmonton vs. Toronto to Nashville vs. Carolina.
I 100% agree! That’s one thing I absolutely enjoy about the Stanley Cup Playoffs is that any team can win. It’s not predictable like the NBA is right now or in the past 10 years cause of the players joining forces and being friends which completely destroys rivalries.
I see the NBA becoming less and less predictable in this year and the next years? I don't guarantee that Denver win the West and Boston is only big favourite because of injuries on the Knicks, Phila, Heat, Bucks.
@@BSmokeyGamingnba has actually been pretty unpredictable the past 5 years. Theres been like 5 different teams win. That hasn’t happened since the 70s 😅
Huh? The unpredictability of the NHL playoffs, more than any other sport, relies heavily on the game's luck element not parity... Whereas in bball, talent decides the winner which you want as a fan of competition. And this year more than anytime, the NBA playoffs is filled with multiple serious contenders.
Can't discount LeBron and the Lakers, Jokic and his Nuggets, Ant and the Wolves, Celtics obviously, yes the Knicks have a shot and the Sixers with a relatively healthy Embiid
Thats not guaranteed nuggets can lost to minnesota they matchup well
LMAO @0:24 😂😂😂😂
So this is how it's going to be we're going to leave out the Mets the Nets the Islanders and any other New York team I can think of in the New York City area
Molly smoking on the show as usual
Wait Hockey still happens??
SAS aint never watched a hockey game in his life
Appreciate PK showing love to the Rangers but the man gotta chill with the shoutouts to Dolan. He ain’t winning any Knicks or Rangers fan’s respect with that take
Sorry, NY is basketball, MLB and NFL...not hockey..I am sorry!!
And all Malcolm X said, in a nutshell , is you're not going to spit and smack me in the face . How is defending yourself violent ?
ESPN buying out hockey just to never make a segment until the playoffs. nobody on this desk knows or talks hockey, that’s why they brought in PK. I guarantee you Mad Dog knows more than these 3. they didn’t even talk about it when Arizona lost its hockey team 5 days ago when the owner chose Utah as the new location for the Coyotes. the atmosphere, the fans, the toughness, and the competitiveness are miles better than the NBA playoffs. NY Rangers have the presidents cup curse so they won’t win this year but will go farther than the Knicks
Not a big hockey person but I feel you man. I’d be pissed as an NBA fan, if a network pulled some B.S. like that.
They should seriously try to sign some hockey analyst, and have them a show. I know a lot of the entertaining hockey guys I watch are not very polished maybe however, neither was pat mcafee at that seemed to work out fine.
I think you mean hockey teams in general have a president trophy curse, but i think this year is completely different.
Thanks for stating the obvious. Who here denied that? At least its getting some coverage on a major network shos
Nhl finals get 2.6 million the past nba finals got 12 million its not really closee you’re talking about atmosphere did you see okc game last night
We would love to face Knicks instead of 76ers second round 😂😂 bring them on we'll send em right back
I wish espn Would get rid of that annoying trumpet music.
PK cooking if you a hockey fan you know the rangers the real deal this year
Stephen A talking about the Knicks are a piece away. Meanwhile, we're supposed to believe his current enthusiastic cries of .. "Orange and blue skies." Bro is on the train as long as it's express.
New York Basketball
NYC is a basketball city!
It’s a pity they are playing Washington. For new hockey fans, that thing that Washington is playing, that’s not hockey.
The rangers have to get past a gritty bruins hurricanes and scrappy panthers to get to a cup final.
Let’s go Rangers
PK on drugs if he think New York is a hockey city over basketball lol
Why pick one over the other? Both Rangers Stanley Cup and Knick Larry O'Brien Trophy in 2024!!! NYC will party the rest of the summer
Some performative bs by ESPN to say they talk about Hockey but I heard 0 arguments by either cohost as to why the Rangers won't win the Cup, because they can't because they don't know any. Pathetic.
NY a Hockey Town???
Suppannnn
If Knicks don’t make to the ECF Stephen a might disappear before his summer break
I want giannis on ny
lol!!!!
New York is a Yankees and Knicks town
New York a hockey city? 😂
NYR biggest American hockey team and the state has 3 teams and the devil's basically 4
@@werst9Boston
@@bensinger2261 is probably bigger per capital but they are not splitting the fan base with anyone and still don't have the value the rangers do. They actually have the whole NE area to themselves and NY still bigger overall. I wouldn't put anyone else close though.
@@werst9 I was just thinking in relation to other sports. Like I think the bruins are bigger in Boston than the Celtics but I don’t find the rangers talked about more than the knicks (but could be cuz of the split fanbase). Also like Harvard, bc and bu are big hockey schools.
@@bensinger2261 I think a town can be more than one sport. Plus id bet that the patriots clear the bruins by a lot in terms of viewers and value but it's an unfair comparison.
Everyone knows New York is a baseball town. But funny debate
It’s basketball city, carry on!
Most people that wear Yankee hats, don’t even follow baseball
@@RC_928 doesn’t change the fact that the Yankees and Mets take up 90% of local media coverage time.
Umm is Lebum and his Son winning? Lol ORANGE AND BLUE SKIES!!!!
MOLLY LOOK SO FINE DAM
Idk who that guy is w that shitty flat top but saying NYC is a hockey town buddy you have no idea what you’re talking about at all
No Yankees!!!
Hockey
Rangers gonna win the cup over the Oilers or the Stars
SA is a fake fan it’s sad he tries so hard
leafs are winning it!
