It has been one thing or another with personal issues for Sean over the last month that's kept us from recording an episode. However, prior to the Game Awards we did do an episode with Sean, Marc, and Daniel. Obviously, the award show has already passed, but if you'd like, you can go to the 1 hour and 9 min mark and listen to who we thought would win in most of the major categories including Game of the Year.Also on this episode, we discuss Microsoft's big announcement that they are officially joining the $70 games club, as its future first-party titles will now be at that price.

In this episode of the Necessary Roughness Podcast, host Nikolas Donadic dives into the NFL regular season’s Week 14 matchups.

Alex and Chace are back with another week of content. Today, they look at some Vancouver Canucks Trade rumours. Specifically, Brock Boeser, who has been a common name in the news this week. The guys look at the angle of who should want him and what is the plan in Vancouver?

From there, they switch to the Columbus Blue Jackets and what their season has been like. It was revealed this week that Jakob Vorachek may not play again this season. The guys start to wonder what that means for his career as a whole. After that, they bounce around some trends in the league before finishing up with an Overrated, Underrated, Favourite, Least Favourite. Today? They swap off of hockey and focus on fast food chains.

What's up Internet? The United States Men's National Team are out of the World Cup. Matt and Ed get together for an instant USMNT Netherlands review. We break down all four goals in the 3-1 loss and what went wrong for the Americans and why. Personal decisions, execution, and the emotions of the second half. Then we analyze what this means big picture as we look ahead to 2026.

In this episode of the Necessary Roughness Podcast, host Nikolas Donadic dives into the NFL regular season’s Week 13 matchups.

Alex is back after a week off of the podcast. Today, he has Jack Richardson making his return to the Last Word on Sens Podcast! Alex and Jack look over multiple Ottawa Senators issues, including the defence and lack of critical offence. Exploring why a 3-4-0 record just won't cut it as well as why it is frustrating they have been this poor. Both guys agree this team has shown potential for so much more, including on their latest road trip.

However, at the end of the day the consistency just hasn't been there. They then switch their focus to how the Sens may handle the goalie situation with 12 games in their next 21 days. The workload will undoubtedly be split between the two of them. Finally, they talk about Alex Formenton and why he doesn't have a contract. As well as why it is important to remember the investigation that is ongoing.

Alex and Chace are back with another week of content. Today, Chace is recording from an airport because he is on the way to SEAHAC 2022, which is a hockey analytics conference. However, the guys still have a ton to discuss that happened this week. Including some NHL trades that saw Ryan Reaves get moved, as well as Connor Timmins.

The guys give their thoughts on both and what it means for all four teams involved. After that, they discuss Auston Matthews and Alex asks a question about is he really playing worse than last season or is it just a lazy narrative driven by shooting percentage. From there, they look at some teams that have had struggling goalies. Discussing whether even stats people don't put enough into how rare elite goaltending can be.

Finally, the guys team up for a game of name that captain. Going through all 32 teams and naming their captain. Can you beat their score of 31/32? Also, the one they forget is pretty surprising.

What's up Internet?! The United States Men's National Team has beaten Iran and made it out of the Group! Ed, Sean, and Matt get together an hour after full-time to bask in the accompaniment. We analyze the match from multiple angles and look ahead to the Netherlands on Saturday in the Round of 16. Relive ups, downs, and relief with this USMNT Iran instant reaction pod.
