What's up Internet? Happy New Year! Dan and Matt are back with a podcast to kick off 2023. We begin with analysis of the disturbing and heartbreaking news regarding the USMNT Berhalter investigation into a domestic violence incident with his now wife and how the Reyna family has brought this U.S. Soccer drama to a new low. Then we do MLS New Year's resolutions where we come up with ways for each MLS team to be better in 2023.

Alex and Chace are back for their first podcast episode of 2023! Alex has already looked at the 2023 Ottawa Senators. Now, the guys take a look at what is happening around the league. Starting with the news of the Detroit Red Wings making a change which led to Jakub Vrana being waived.

Today, he cleared waivers which had everyone up in a frenzy. The guys look over why it shouldn't be a surprise no one claimed him and what may happen from here on in. They also have a debate about what exactly is Vrana. Is he an elite goal scorer? A routine injury risk? Both?

From there, they look at the Florida Panthers and how they may be in trouble. Currently eight points out of a playoff spot, the Panthers season may already be over. The weirdest thing is, why? The guys go through how they have been playing and highlight that it shouldn't be this bad. However, the team still finds itself in a very tough spot to climb out of.

Alex is back after taking a month off due to Holidays and being very busy with life. However, the Ottawa Senators have continued to produce lots to talk about. Today, he is back with a solo episode discussing everything he has missed since his last episode. Starting with the exciting Arytom Zub extension!

Alex dives into what it means for the player and team and what Ottawa needs to add around him and the rest of the blueline going forward. From there, he examines their last stretch of games in an up-and-down December for the Sens. Finally, he switches gears to the 2023 Ottawa Senators. What is expected? What is needed?

Trying to look at it in five-game increments, Alex decides he would like to see Ottawa take at least seven points in the next five games. This is needed if they want to catch the four or five teams they are trailing for the second wild-card spot.

In this episode of the Necessary Roughness Podcast, host Nikolas Donadic dives into the NFL regular season’s Week 17 matchups. He also calls shenanigans on (some) "advanced" statistics like win-probability, weighs in on why the Raiders benching of Derek Carr could get complicated, and touches on the very forgettable tenure of Nathaniel Hackett as the Denver Broncos Head Coach.

Alex and Chace are back with another week of content! Today, they start off by taking a look at a hit to the head that happened in the 2023 World Juniors game between Canada and Czechia. Alex wants to know why the NHL doesn't have more serious hit-to-the-head rules. As well as highlighting his idea of a mix between how serious the IIHF takes it and how unserious the NHL seems to take it. They also discuss the 2023 World Juniors as a whole.

From there, they take a look at a great mailbag question when it comes to increased scoring, especially on the powerplay, and has it been factored in enough to analytical models and analysis? The guys give their thoughts on that topic and go back and forth. Finally, they discuss if NHL betting will ever reach NFL levels when it comes to analytics. A discussion that was spawned thanks to their sponsors at BetStamp!

Alex and Chace are back with another week of podcasts! Today, they look at each NHL Teams Christmas wishlist. Going through each division and giving one thing the team should be wishing for into 2023 to finish this season. For some, it may be a little more lighthearted. However, for other teams, it may be something much bigger, such as the first overall pick.

The guys use this exercise to hit on some larger topics around the league. Topics that include the Ottawa Senators extending defenceman Artyom Zub. Alex explains why he likes this deal so much and what he thinks is next for this Sens team. Overall, they touch on all 32 teams and give something that they would be asking for this Christmas. Now it will be time to see how many come true. Tune in for all of this and more, with the MnM Hockey Podcast!

The guys are back with another week of content. Today, they have plenty to discuss. Starting with the Washington Capitals and an Alex Ovechkin goal record. The guys discuss him hitting 800 goals on Tuesday night, as well as how he is about to become second all-time in goals scored. They then shift to how quickly can he catch Wayne Gretzky. Admiring that the conversation has switched from "can he at all?" to "when will it happen?"

After that, the guys switch their focus to the Anaheim Ducks. Alex digs into some stats that aren't very encouraging as the guys examine how this season has gone so wrong. No one expected them to be great, but they are on pace to be one of the worst teams of the salary cap era. Alex is also concerned about the Calgary Flames recent play, although it is just a few games of sample. Still, they do not look like the Flames of last year, and that could be an issue.
