  • 2022 NHL Awards Selection
    Alex and Chace are back after a week off. This week, they are taking a look at the 2022 NHL awards. With the playoffs starting next week, they figured this was the best time to recap everything that has happened this season with an awards show. To start, they take a look at the Calder and Jack Adams trophies. Discussing why they both have left out the player who might be the favourite to win the Calder this season. With the Jack Adams, there is a consensus pick, however, both Alex and Chace admit there are a bunch of good candidates.
    From there, they look at the three biggest awards in the Vezina, Norris, and Hart. A very rare occurrence for these award shows is how many players Alex and Chace agree on. Alex also throws in some honourable mentions as they talk about other players who have had amazing years that just missed the mark. Finally, they wrap it up with a Selke conversation and look at why someone who has won a few Selke's maybe undeservingly, absolutely deserves it this year.

  • Soccer 2 the MAX: Hernan Losada & Matias Almeyda Out, Erik Ten Haag In, CONCACAF W Field Set
    Two Major League Soccer clubs have decided to make coaching changes with the San Jose Earthquakes sacking Matias Almeyda and D.C. United is due to sack Hernan Losada. Sean and Erik some of the story behind both firings, how Erik, as a DC United supporter feels about the move, and which team would be a better option for coaches looking at either job?
     
    The CONCACAF W Draw is done and joining the United States Women's National Team are rivals Mexico, the 2019 World Cup debutants Jamaica, and Haiti. Should there be any concern with the USWNT drawing the tougher teams out of the two groups? Is there a chance that anyone but Mexico going through this? Also, Group B sees Canada facing Costa Rica, Panama, and Trinidad & Tobago. Some Way Too Early Predictions are on the way.
     
    Finally, head scouts take their leave for Manchester United as Erik Ten Haag is all but appointed as the new United manager. After the whooping the squad received at the hands of Liverpool 4-0 there's a lot of talk about a sweeping revolution. Who are the players soon to be out, who should be sold, and could we really see 10 new players in one transfer window?
     
    Apologies for the background noise when Erik speaks in the first 5 to 8 minutes of the show, as Sean started recording as a family get-together was ending.

  • Soccer 2 the MAX: Man City & Liverpool Make it to the UCL Semi-Finals, USWNT’s 18 Goal Window & More

    There is just so much to talk about on this midweek edition of the Pod, as the CONCACAF Champions League Final is set with two longtime stalwarts of the respective leagues, Pumas U.N.A.M. vs. Seattle Sounders FC.

     

    However, the UEFA Champions League is what has grabbed the biggest headlines with some superb games, a major upset, and even some actual fighting too.

     

    The United States Women's National Team finish possibly their last window of victorious friendly matches with an 18-1 (9-1 and 9-0) over Uzbekistan. Can the young team take that forward into the upcoming CONCACAF W tournament in July?

     

    Speaking of, the field is now complete and all of the squads now know who will compete in Mexico to determine who winds up representing CONCACAF in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. Who could deliver a surprise? Is there a chance for any upsets? Or will it remain as you expected?

     

    There's also the verbal agreement with Manchester United and Erik Ten Haag, Gio Reyna is injured again and is out for the rest of the club season, New England's freefall in MLS, and the announcement of a FIFA streaming service too.

  • Matthews vs McDavid and Colorado Avalanche with AvsRobin

    Welcome back to another episode of the MnM Hockey Podcast! Today, Alex and Chace have a bunch of topics to hit from the week. Including a debate between the two on who would you take first when starting a franchise? Auston Matthews or Connor McDavid? It is very fair to say Matthews is having the better year, however, can you really say he's the best player? The guys debate both sides of the argument. They also look at the playoff picture and what losing Drew Doughty means for the LA Kings playoff chances.

    Finally, they have a guest join them! AvsRobin joins the podcast to discuss the Colorado Avalanche season and what to expect heading into the playoffs. Is he worried about underlying numbers? What has such a dominant season been like to watch? As well, what does the team need to do to change the playoff outcomes from the past few seasons? They look over all of that and more!

  • NHL News Leading to Playoffs and Career Game Part Two

    Welcome back to another MnM Hockey Podcast! Today, Alex and Chace recap the NHL news they missed over the past 10 days or so. They didn't get to record last week because of school, however, that leaves them with plenty to discuss now. Including the passing of Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk. The guys send their condolences and agree now is not the right time for any speculation. From there, they get into a lengthy discussion about Keith Yandle and his Iron Man streak coming to an end. Why it shouldn't be a huge deal but also trying to play contrarian as well. 

    After that, they take a look at the playoff race in the East and West, including who they want to see make it from each division. They also discuss Auston Matthews and his insane goal pace, which quickly got outdated as he posted yet another three goals on Tuesday night after they recorded. Finally, they get a good laugh out of the Evgenii Dadonov trade situation and play part two of the NHL career game.

  • Soccer 2 the MAX: FIFA World Cup 2022 Draw: USMNT Land England, Iran & TBD, Plus Way Too Early Predictions
    The group stage is set and there are some tasty matchups everywhere, as Sean and Erik go through each one. Discussing the way too early chances for teams, way too early predictions, and way too early analysis of the squads.
     
    Obviously, there's a major focus from us on the three and potentially four CONCACAF teams, the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Costa Rica. Where they landed, their chances of getting out of groups, and if there are any surprise runs that could happen.
     
    Get ready as this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to looking at the World Cup from us, as eventually, we will have closer looks at each team historically, how they play, and players to highlight before the final squads are named.

  • Soccer 2 the MAX: USA vs Costa Rica Review: The USMNT Are Back in the World Cup

    The United States Men's National Team only had to avoid defeat by six goals or more and they would return to the World Cup. Mission accomplished with only a 2-0 loss to a younger and more fiery Los Ticos side on the night. And while the game is ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things, Sean and Erik still a have few things to ponder in regards to what occurred.

     

    Should the USMNT's away form during qualifying be of any concern? How big a deal is it that the USA does not have a solidified striker as of yet and there are only two FIFA windows from here to when the 2022 FIFA World Cup begins on November 21 in Qatar. Should there be worry about the Goalkeeper position after two not so confident performances from Zack Steffen?

     

    Plus, one final look around CONCACAF as Mexico takes care of business against El Salvador in Azteca to actually finish in second place ahead of the USMNT. Canada loses in their final game as well and tops the octagonal in the first place. Is it a done deal for Costa Rica against New Zealand? Not to mention, a look ahead to the World Cup Draw on Friday, the pots the teams are in, and the rest of the landscape around the globe for World Cup Qualifying too.

     

    Remember you can also watch Soccer 2 the MAX in video format here:  https://youtu.be/3oXvoBPav-Y

     

    Sean and Erik will be back sometime between Friday and Saturday to discuss the 2022 FIFA World Cup Draw, where the CONCACAF teams landed, and make some WAY TOO EARLY predictions on who gets out of the groups too.
