Ice Cold Takes: A New York Sports Podcast

Originally started by two college friends in August 2020, Ice Cold Takes: A New York Rangers Hockey Podcast, now known as Ice Cold Takes: A New York Sports Podcast, features the sports conversations you would have with your friends, family, and people you meet at the bar. Joey DiMeglio hosts the show, welcoming all guests, including players, writers, analysts, and even Twitter personalities, to talk Rangers hockey and Mets baseball and make bold, but spot-on takes that are chilled to the bone!

Good Young and from the heart

These kids are genuine. They sound young but put forth a passionate and colorful fan following of the sport. I have been a Ranger fan, most likely, since before their parents were born. They remind me of my youthful energy as I grew up following the team. Chasing players for autographs, pictures etc… Section 420 Row D Seats 3 & 4. That was me. 40 home games @ $3 $120 per seat per season Playoffs went to $ 4.50 Now I watch with the same passion from the couch from pre game thru post game and it suits me fine These kids’ energy is great and refreshing to listen to

I like them

I think these guys do know what they are talking about. For fans they are more knowledgeable than NY Post writers. I like this a lot, all Ranger talk, very little chit chat.

Seemingly no expertise here

Your basic fans who really think they know more than they do . Condescending listen. Just not impressed. Boring Hopefully with time and maturity, it will be better. Need to realize they are not talking to their friends at the local bar.

Fantastic Show!!!

I’m very new to Hockey but I’m convinced that Ice Cold Takes is about to change that. WOW! It’s super informative and Kyriakos and Joey deliver it in a way that even a casual Hockey fan can understand. HIGHLY recommend!!!
