The guys are back with another busy week of content. Today, they start by examining some Vancouver Canucks news. Starting with the inevitable firing of Bruce Boudreau. The guys break it down and ask why it even makes sense to bring in a guy like Rick Tochett. Additionally, they look at the Andre Kuzmenko signing that broke today. Once again asking why Vancouver felt they needed to make this move.

From there, they shift to a trade that took place involving mostly minor swaps. However, it is a trade nonetheless. Finally, they end the podcast by looking at a pair of articles that evaluates where each NHL head coach is at as well as what Jacob Chychrun's most likely trade destination is. Ranking the seven teams listed from one to seven in terms of making the most sense to no sense at all. Tune in for all of this and more, with the Mnm Hockey Podcast!

Alex and Chace are back with another week of content! This week, they start by looking at the Pavel Zacha signing. Giving their thoughts on the player and deal. Alex isn't too sure why this deal needed to be made now. As well as what the long-term angle is. However, when they switch to the new Matt Boldy deal, the guys feel a lot better about things.

From there, they take a look at an article on an Edmonton Oilers trade proposal brought up by Jason Bukala. The article proposes a trade idea that Alex and Chace simply can't support, which also leads into a discussion on what people are watching in Edmonton this year.

Finally, Alex gives Chace a trade target he thinks would fit well with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He gives his reasons why and the guys discuss it before also moving on to where Timo Meier may land if he is traded at all. Tune in for all of this and more, with the MnM Hockey Podcast!

Alex and Chace are back with another episode of the MnM Hockey Podcast! Today, they take a look at the 2022-23 NHL Awards as we approach the mid-season mark. Both guys have written down who they would have as winners for each award if the season were to end today. Starting with the Calder, the guys surprisingly have a similar list. However, that is one of the last awards for a while you can say that about.

They go through all the major awards including the Selke, Hart, Vezina, and Norris. The guys have also made up their own award. They are naming it, the Tage Thompson most improved award. Given to a player that they have deemed most improved vs what was expected heading into the season. Trying to focus on underlying numbers instead of just someone with a high shooting percentage, the guys give an interesting list of names.

Alex and Chace are back for their first podcast episode of 2023! Alex has already looked at the 2023 Ottawa Senators. Now, the guys take a look at what is happening around the league. Starting with the news of the Detroit Red Wings making a change which led to Jakub Vrana being waived.

Today, he cleared waivers which had everyone up in a frenzy. The guys look over why it shouldn't be a surprise no one claimed him and what may happen from here on in. They also have a debate about what exactly is Vrana. Is he an elite goal scorer? A routine injury risk? Both?

From there, they look at the Florida Panthers and how they may be in trouble. Currently eight points out of a playoff spot, the Panthers season may already be over. The weirdest thing is, why? The guys go through how they have been playing and highlight that it shouldn't be this bad. However, the team still finds itself in a very tough spot to climb out of.

Alex and Chace are back with another week of content! Today, they start off by taking a look at a hit to the head that happened in the 2023 World Juniors game between Canada and Czechia. Alex wants to know why the NHL doesn't have more serious hit-to-the-head rules. As well as highlighting his idea of a mix between how serious the IIHF takes it and how unserious the NHL seems to take it. They also discuss the 2023 World Juniors as a whole.

From there, they take a look at a great mailbag question when it comes to increased scoring, especially on the powerplay, and has it been factored in enough to analytical models and analysis? The guys give their thoughts on that topic and go back and forth. Finally, they discuss if NHL betting will ever reach NFL levels when it comes to analytics. A discussion that was spawned thanks to their sponsors at BetStamp!

Alex and Chace are back with another week of podcasts! Today, they look at each NHL Teams Christmas wishlist. Going through each division and giving one thing the team should be wishing for into 2023 to finish this season. For some, it may be a little more lighthearted. However, for other teams, it may be something much bigger, such as the first overall pick.

The guys use this exercise to hit on some larger topics around the league. Topics that include the Ottawa Senators extending defenceman Artyom Zub. Alex explains why he likes this deal so much and what he thinks is next for this Sens team. Overall, they touch on all 32 teams and give something that they would be asking for this Christmas. Now it will be time to see how many come true. Tune in for all of this and more, with the MnM Hockey Podcast!

The guys are back with another week of content. Today, they have plenty to discuss. Starting with the Washington Capitals and an Alex Ovechkin goal record. The guys discuss him hitting 800 goals on Tuesday night, as well as how he is about to become second all-time in goals scored. They then shift to how quickly can he catch Wayne Gretzky. Admiring that the conversation has switched from "can he at all?" to "when will it happen?"

After that, the guys switch their focus to the Anaheim Ducks. Alex digs into some stats that aren't very encouraging as the guys examine how this season has gone so wrong. No one expected them to be great, but they are on pace to be one of the worst teams of the salary cap era. Alex is also concerned about the Calgary Flames recent play, although it is just a few games of sample. Still, they do not look like the Flames of last year, and that could be an issue.

Alex and Chace are back with another week of content. Today, they look at some Vancouver Canucks Trade rumours. Specifically, Brock Boeser, who has been a common name in the news this week. The guys look at the angle of who should want him and what is the plan in Vancouver?

From there, they switch to the Columbus Blue Jackets and what their season has been like. It was revealed this week that Jakob Vorachek may not play again this season. The guys start to wonder what that means for his career as a whole. After that, they bounce around some trends in the league before finishing up with an Overrated, Underrated, Favourite, Least Favourite. Today? They swap off of hockey and focus on fast food chains.

Alex and Chace are back with another week of content. Today, Chace is recording from an airport because he is on the way to SEAHAC 2022, which is a hockey analytics conference. However, the guys still have a ton to discuss that happened this week. Including some NHL trades that saw Ryan Reaves get moved, as well as Connor Timmins.

The guys give their thoughts on both and what it means for all four teams involved. After that, they discuss Auston Matthews and Alex asks a question about is he really playing worse than last season or is it just a lazy narrative driven by shooting percentage. From there, they look at some teams that have had struggling goalies. Discussing whether even stats people don't put enough into how rare elite goaltending can be.

Finally, the guys team up for a game of name that captain. Going through all 32 teams and naming their captain. Can you beat their score of 31/32? Also, the one they forget is pretty surprising.

Alex and Chace are back with another episode. Today, they take a look at what has been happening around the NHL over the past week—starting with the New Jersey Devils and their insane winning streak. Currently, they sit at 13 wins in a row. A 14th win would beat their franchise record of 13. The guys break down whether or not they should go "all in" this season and how well they are built for the future.

The team the Devils need to be for game 14 would be the Leafs. And news came in today that the Toronto Maple Leafs defence took yet another hit. That is now Jake Muzzin, Morgan Rielly, and T.J. Brodie all out for an extended period of time. The guys discuss what this means for Toronto as well as a unique opportunity it will provide. They also preview the game odds using their partners at BetStamp!

Finally, Alex and Chace discuss a few other teams around the league that have been streaking one way or the other. As well as ask the question, is this it for the Washington Capitals?
