LAST WORD RADIO

Alex is back with episode five in his season preview series. Today, he switches over to the Eastern teams in this division. Starting with the Montreal Canadiens season preview. Alex has writer from the Montreal Gazette, Andrew Berkshire joining him to discuss the season.

The two break down a bunch of topics, such as an underrated Canadiens forward core heading into the year. They also look at why the defence is a question mark purely based on development and usage. As well, the guys discuss what to expect from Carey Price, who is still one of the league's most feared goalies from a player and coach's perspective. However, lots of stats suggest he may not be the same goalie from a few years ago... At least not when he is in a high usage situation. From there, Alex and Andrew discuss what to expect from Montreal this season and where they should fall in this Canadian Division. 

On this episode of Video Games 2 the MAX hosts Sean Garmer and Marc Morrison ponder the latest rumors around the Switch Pro, Nintendo’s acquisition of Next Level Games, and Microsoft’s laughable attempt to acquire Nintendo. The mystery of why Microsoft continues to use AA batteries in their controllers is finally revealed, and it will shock you almost as much as the PS5’s sales underperformance in Japan. Also: Marc rants about Chris Chibnall again.

In this episode of the Necessary Roughness Podcast, host Nikolas Donadic dives into the NFL Wild Card weekend matchups. He also breaks down why the Eagles benching of Jalen Hurts wasn’t inexplicable but may be indefensible, touches on the drama involving J.J. Watt and Deshaun Watson in Houston, and debates whether or not he should stand by his preseason Super Bowl pick. Enjoy the show and join us on Saturday for the following episode!

Alex is back to continue his North Division team previews. Today, he takes a look at the Winnipeg Jets season and what it has in store. He also has John Malloy joining him to help alongside that. The two take a look at how the season ended last year and what a ride it was. They then start by looking at what happened this offseason. Asking questions like did they do enough to help the blueline? Can Connor Hellebuyck repeat what he did last year? Can the top-six live up to their potential?

After that, they take a look at what seems to be happening with players asking out of Winnipeg. Both Jack Roslovic and Patrik Laine aren't happy in their situation, which adds to a list of players that have wanted out of Winnipeg at times. They discuss what needs to change and why it is a huge issue if they can't keep Laine. 

Alex and Chace are back for their final 2021 division preview. Today, they take a look at the NHL Central Division. As always, they start by looking at the teams they feel will be in the lottery hunt. Including why they will be there, if there's a chance they won't, and why it is good or bad. Including what they have to do to escape the lottery eventually. Next, they shift to teams that are in the hunt for the playoffs. Breaking down where each team's season could go well or poorly. Finally, they take a look at the teams that they believe should be competing for the division lead.

In this division, there are two teams in the top and bottom tier generally speaking. That leaves four for the middle one in what should be a pretty interesting playoff race for the final two spots. The guys discuss strengths and weaknesses and what they plan on keeping an eye on the most this season. 

Alex is back to continue the North Division previews. This week, he has Zach Laing of Oilers Nation and the Nation Network joining him. The two take a look at the 2021 Edmonton Oilers season. As usual, they take a look at last year, the disappointing exit and what it means. As well as what adjustments they have tried to make this offseason. 

Zach explains what he likes about this Edmonton roster and why he thinks people aren't talking about the Edmonton defence enough. As well, Alex gives his thoughts on their ability to split up the lineup, as well as questioning the decision to bring back the same goalie tandem. The guys end the podcast by discussing where they see Edmonton finishing in the North Division this season. Tune in for all of this and more, with the Last Word on Sens Podcast!

What's up Internet? Happy New Year! It's 2021. We made it! This week on Last Word SC Radio, Matt and Dan get together for MLS New Year's Resolutions. We go through every MLS team, including Austin FC, to give each team a resolution for the new year. 

In the Round Table, we have a chuckle about the Barcelona USA rumor. 

In this episode of the Necessary Roughness Podcast, host Nikolas Donadic dives into the NFL regular season’s Week 17 matchups. He also wonders if the Dolphins realize that benching Tua to win now isn’t helping their future, discusses how the Cardinals loss to San Francisco proved his early-season point about them, and touches on the Colts collapse against the Steelers. Enjoy the show and join us on Saturday for the following episode!

On this final and special episode of Video Games 2 the MAX for 2020 hosts Sean Garmer and Marc Morrison are joined by Randy Isbelle and Jens Dietrich in discussing and debating what belongs on the list of this year's 25 Best Games.

This is our second of two podcasts looking back at the year that was 2020. Although we do nominate some new games that weren't previously discussed, please make sure to listen to our previous episode where we discussed our Personal Top 10 Games to get a more in-depth reasoning as to what games wound up making the majority of the list, as this episode is mostly about ranking those games. The discussion as to what we loved about them happened on the previous episode.

There are still some fun debates here and passionate speeches, but don't go in expecting a ton of talk about the games themselves.

It's a very busy week as the Ottawa Senators made a pair of trades. To start, Alex discusses those and gives his thoughts on both. Discussing why he is worried there might be a lack of a plan at times with the organization. However, also looking at the ups and downs for each. Another thing he touches on is the rookies in the starting roster. How many, or few? Will actually play? 

Then, Carl Landra joins Alex to discuss a Calgary Flames Season Preview. The two discuss the Flames offseason, roster, and outlook for this year. Talking about why people seem to be underrating Calgary and why Alex has them as a favourite in the North division. They also look at the forwards and why Johnny Gaudreau is the person to keep an eye on. As well as what this organization might do if they fail this season.
