  • NHL Free Agent Frenzy!

    NHL Free Agent Frenzy!
    Jul 30 2021
    The NHL free agent frenzy has been INSANE for the first 2 days running. Teams with lots of turnover and the Kraken adding 83M to the salary pool really offset the flat cap and made this free agency period one of the craziest ever. In this weeks episode we go over everything that happened in the NHL and look at how the Leafs have shaken up over the last little while.

    We made it. The Euro finals review! (And for once, the Copa America).
    Jul 16 2021
    In this weeks episode (also to be the first one uploaded to youtube), Ryan and I go over the interesting and questionable game that was. The finals was mostly overshadowed by some questionable managing decisions and some pretty borderline challenges, all of which played a big factor in deciding the game. We talk about all of that and more on this weeks episode wrapping up the Euro 2020 tournament.

    Jul 6 2021
    In this episode we dive into the woes of Toronto FC and their path back to competition. Their struggles highlighted lots of issues within the team fundamentally and the firing of Chris Armas as well as the possible return home of the team give us reasons for optimism. We also get into the Euros semis and what to expect from that as the games continue to intensify. Lastly, what in the world was Tampa's mayor thinking? We look into the Stanley Cup finals and why throwing a game is never a good idea.

    I told myself I wasn't gonna do this... Raw reaction to a huge Danish victory and more
    Jun 22 2021
    In this week's episode I do something I said i'd never do... I rushed straight to the mic after an emotional Danish win and recorded my raw, unfiltered thoughts. We also dig in to the state of the NHL and it's referees, and discuss where teams should go after one of their stars disappear in the playoffs similar to Ben Simmons and the 76ers.

  • We branch out to the NBA? Euros and Canadian WCQ catch-up

    We branch out to the NBA? Euros and Canadian WCQ catch-up
    Jun 18 2021
    (Timestamps : 0:00 for NBA, 12:59 for Euros & soccer.) In this episode we look into some of the dramatics in the NBA as late with the huge Kemba Walker trade and LeBron's dislike towards the season structure. This change in the trajectory of the podcast today has me praying I don't become a Toronto man so i made sure to sprinkle a healthy dose of soccer at the end to prevent that.
