LAST WORD RADIO

In this episode of the Necessary Roughness Podcast, host Nikolas Donadic dives into the NFL regular season's Week 11 matchups. He also weighs in on if the Tennessee Titans are legitimate playoff contenders, touches on what we learned from the fantastic Seahawks-49ers game, and gives his take on the peculiar Colin Kaepernick workout. Enjoy the show and join us next Saturday afternoon for the following episode!

The guys are back with another filled episode of content. First, they take a look at Milan Lucic and his suspension. The guys talk about if it was too much, too little or warranted. Asking questions like is this a hockey play? Chace gives his perspective on it as he was a goalie himself.

Next, they switch over to look at the Vancouver Canucks. The Canucks have gotten off to a hot start, but not just on the score sheet. Almost every underlying number has been very positive for Vancouver. The guys take a look at how sustainable this is. On the flip side of that, they look at Barry Trotz's early-season success. Alex asks the question can a coach control save percentage to a higher degree? 

Finally, the guys take a look at the tank wars. Taking a look at just what each bottom feeder is doing this season and if it is paying off. Who is most likely to get the first pick and why that may be. Tune in for all of this and more, with the MnM Hockey Podcast!

What's up Internet? Today on Last Word SC Radio, Matt and Rachael pod just an hour after full time of MLS Cup 2019. Seattle Sounders FC are champions of the league.

 

We recap what happened, how Toronto was good but not good enough in the first 55 minutes, and how Seattle turned it around. We take a look at some good and bad individual performances and critical moments. Lastly we a look at the big picture implications of this result for both franchises, talking dynasty, Michael Bradley, and Brian Schmetzer.

Last Word on Habs Pod: Montreal Canadiens Plans for Jesperi Kotkaniemi

On this week's episode, the guys discuss the Jesperi Kotkaniemi situation. With the young Finn's going on the mend, he should now return to action for the Habs. The question is, how will coach Claude Julien use him. Should he be sent to the minors? Should he be scratched for some games?

The guys also discuss the Canadiens defensive woes. These issues are nothing new as the Habs struggled defensively last year, perhaps its time for something to change. While the roster has changed somewhat, Connor thinks it's time for Claude Julien to play a system that works best for the players on his team, rather than forcing them to play a system they are not comfortable playing.

Johannes has some strong feelings about the Habs play this week. Despite picking up five of six points, there were some troubling trends. Especially in the 3-2 win over the lowly Kings.

All this and winners and losers, Don Cherry musings, Rememberance and Veterans day and much much more. Tune in!

After the news, Alex and Chace take a look at some NHL Franchises to avoid. They each make a list of the five NHL Franchises they would least like to take over as a General Manager today.
