LAST WORD RADIO

Alex and Chace are back with another week of content as the offseason rolls on. To start, they talk about some news that broke over the past few weeks when they were focusing on other topics. Looking at signings like Jake DeBrusk and Mikael Sergachev and discussing what kind of value they bring. They also look at the latest about an NHL season and the owners vs players debate. Trying to stay away from too much CBA talk, Alex explains why he feels there has to be and will be a season.

Next, with a potential all-Canadian division, the guys decided to do rankings for it. They made their list for the Top 10 NHL wingers on Canadian teams right now. Comparing and contrasting their lists with each other and with lists seen online too. Talking about why they have players ranked higher or lower than the general perception and each other. Tune in for all of that and more, with the MnM Hockey Podcast.

The guys are back after a week off and have decided to skip news for a week. This is one of the busiest episodes they have had in a while because they have decided to take a look at the best and worst NHL contracts on each team. They based their activity on an ESPN article doing the same thing. So, Alex and Chace went through each team and looked at what their best contract was as well as their worst.

They tried to weigh the overall value for dollars, term, age, and anything else that could go into why an NHL contract is good or bad. For some teams, it was harder to find an actual bad contract, whereas for others it was hard to choose just one. At times it went the other way too. However, Alex and Chace talk their way through each team. Listing reasons why they think certain players have an argument for the best or the worst contract. Entry-Level Deals are obviously excluded from this exercise.

In this episode of the Necessary Roughness Podcast, host Nikolas Donadic dives into the NFL regular season’s Week 12. He also wonders if the Ravens will even be able to make the playoffs, weighs in on the Steelers chances of going undefeated, and debates finally jumping on the Rams bandwagon. Enjoy the show and join us on Saturday for the following episode!

On this episode of Video Games 2 the MAX hosts Sean Garmer and Marc Morrison discuss World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Hades, and more Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla too.Plus, PS5 accounts are being banned for selling access to the PS Plus Collection to PS4 players. Does this create another conundrum of control for digital games? Or is this more of Sony protecting its gift and making sure it is used correctly? Will Sony eventually give PS4 players the opportunity to also have the PS Plus collection? All those questions are explored in this topic.Also, the super accomplished soccer star, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has opened the door for a potential myriad of lawsuits to come EA’s way over likeness rights in the FIFA games, as he is not part of the FIFPro players union and doesn’t feel correctly compensated. Now over 300 other players are also pondering lawsuits. Could this change the landscape of soccer video games similar to the college football one? Or does this just wind up as a big cash settlement and perhaps a change in contracts going forward?Not to mention, Neo: The World Ends With You is officially announced, Avengers still hasn’t made back its development costs, Red Dead Online goes solo, and SNK gets some ownership interest too. All of this and much more on this one.Thank you to Jens Dietrich for doing the editing and post-production on the showLike us on the w2mnet.com Facebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/W2MNetwork/Follow us on Twitter:https://twitter.com/W2MNetwork (W2M Network), https://twitter.com/W2MSean (Sean), https://twitter.com/HumanityPlague (Marc), https://twitter.com/ApertureSilence (Jens)
