Last Word on Habs Pod: Montreal Canadiens Keep Rolling

This week on the LWOH pod, our hosts celebrate the predictive powers of Connor, as he nailed the Habs week.

With the Habs winning two of three this week and five of six, the Habs have rebounded nicely from a difficult November. Still, the Habs are entering a difficult stretch in their schedule, the dreaded Christmas road trip. Historically this has not been a kind trip for the Habs, but will it be different this year? Connor does not, but Johannes is more optimistic.

It has become more and more evident that several Habs players listen in to the pod as Artturi Lehkonen has found his game after Johannes expressed his confidence in his ability.

Johannes hist Connor with some rapid fire questions. Then the guys dip their toes into trade discussions.

All this and baby Daniel turns one, Johannes parties hard, winners and losers, USA hockey coaching clinics and much much more!

Also, from the Last Word on Habs pod, we are wishing all our listeners a happy and safe holiday season.

TUNE IN!

** Programming note, the guys will be taking the next two weeks off recording for the holiday season. Look for a new pod early January. But if you are all good little listeners, you might get a little surprise during the break!**

In this episode of the Necessary Roughness Podcast, host Nikolas Donadic dives into the NFL regular season's Week 15 matchups. He also breaks down the Thursday night Chargers-Chiefs game, touches on the streaking Dallas Cowboys, dives into why the Bears-Rams game showed him more about Chicago’s offense than its defense, and gets excited about the Cleveland Browns having a chance to win the AFC North. Enjoy the show and join us next Saturday afternoon for the following episode!

The guys are back with another busy week in the NHL. Alex and Chace start by looking at the Ottawa Senators. The Sens have seen a bunch of guys be placed on IR lately. Such as Matt Duchene, Dylan DeMelo, Bobby Ryan and more. The guys look at how this will affect Ottawa going forward.

Next, they look at some injuries to Oscar Klefbom and Antti Raanta. The guys take a look at how this will affect both teams and why these are such big losses for teams that needed to have big seasons. Alex wonders what it will take for Arizona to see the playoffs again.

Following that, the guys switch to look at the terrible run the Chicago Blackhawks have been on. The Hawks won just 4 of their last 23 games and had to 7 plus game losing streaks in that stretch. Alex hopes they don't get a high pick in this year's draft as he has felt other GMs have helped the Hawks out enough.

Finally, the guys switch to their final topic, Toronto Maple Leaf rumours. Alex and Chace dive into the Alex Pietrangelo and Wayne Simmond rumours. Both linked to the Toronto Maple Leafs in some way over the past week. Chace is very frustrated by the pair of Toronto Maple Leaf Rumours. Overall, they look at if it makes sense for either one and how it would look on Toronto. 

Come for all of this and more, with the MnM Hockey Podcast!

What's up Internet? Today on Last Word SC Radio, Matt and Dan look back on Saturday's final with an MLS Cup Review. We talk about Atlanta United FC, their convincing win, and a potential MLS dynasty. We also debate whether the window is closing for Portland Timbers FC. 

The guys then look at the prospects for FC Cincinnati in the MLS Expansion Draft, free agency, and off-season news.

Last Word on Habs Pod: Montreal Canadiens Win Three in a Row

On this weeks episode of the pod, Connor and Johannes change things up a little. This episode was recorded during the Habs and Blackhawks game. Partly in the second intermission and partly after the game. There may have been some technical difficulties that led to this, but still its something new!

Connor and Johannes talk about the Habs back to back 5-2 wins over the Senators earlier in the week. The Habs seem to have rebounded from a difficult November. After dispatching the 'Hawks as well, the Canadiens are now on a three-game winning streak!

After some disappointing play, it's clear that Habs forward Max Domi and goaltender Carey Price listen to the pod as Connor's harsh criticism of them seems to have sparked their inspired play this week. Any time these guys want to be a guest, they are more than welcome.

Connor and Johannes then revisit the idea of the Habs making a trade to push for this year. It seems Johannes has joined Connor on thinking its not a smart idea.

All this and winners and losers, Carey Price, World Juniors and much more!

TUNE IN!!

Toronto Maple Leafs Sign William Nylander

The William Nylander saga is finally over. The Toronto Maple Leafs inked the winger to a six-year contract. How do we feel about the deal? Are the Leafs Stanley Cup Contenders with another offensive piece back in the fold? What does this mean for Jake Gardiner? How about Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner?

Philadelphia Flyers Hire Chuck Fletcher

The Flyers have replaced Ron Hextall with new general manager Chuck Fletcher? What does it mean for the future of the team? Where did Hextall go wrong? What trades should we expect, and when should we expect them? What will happen to the prospects built up under Hextall. Is coach Dave Hakstol going to be next?

Seattle Awarded NHL Expansion Team

In the worst kept secret in hockey, The NHL's 32nd team will play in the Emerald City. Why is this market so attractive, and how will they do on and off the ice?

Tom Wilson Hits and Gets Hit

Tom Wilson received a match penalty, but no supplemental discipline for his hit on New Jersey's Brett Seney. Just two days later, Ryan Reeves received a major penalty and a game misconduct for his hit on Wilson. Did the Department of Player Safety get these decisions right or wrong?

 

All this and more, as we go, On the Powerplay.
