Alex and Chace are back with an absolutely loaded schedule this week. In one of their longest episodes ever, they go through everything that has taken place since last week. Unfortunately, they need to start with some news no one wants to discuss, but it is needed. Taking a look at the draft and a selection that did not need to be taken. After, they look at the Seattle Kraken Draft and give their takeaways on the players selected. Alex keeps going back to the theme of the team being OK but super underwhelming. Asking questions such as why didn't they make a single side deal? Next, the guys take a look at a ton of signings and trades that have happened. This has been the craziest week or two in a long time in the NHL. With trades everywhere you look, there is no shortage of conversation. Alex and Chace give their thoughts on each one, and Alex specifically enjoys what the Arizona Coyotes are starting to do this offseason. Tune in for all of this and more, with the MnM Hockey Podcast!

Seattle Kraken Recap and Free Agency Preview

The guys are back and will have two podcasts in one week! Today, they take a look at all the NHL news that has happened since they recorded last week. They were originally going to wait for the Kraken expansion draft, but there was just too much going on. Instead, the guys look at trades, signings, rumours and more that have taken place over the last seven days or so. One of the biggest pieces of NHL news was that Ryan Ellis would be on the move. The guys take a look at the trade and give their thoughts. Alex has been banging the drum that Nashville should rebuild for a while now, so he is happy with what is taking place. As well, they look at the Toronto Maple Leafs trading Jared McCann and try to figure out why they bothered to expose him right after. Chace has some big questions about whether or not it makes sense to do a side deal when a better option may have been available regardless.

Calm Before the Storm: News Leading up to the Seattle Expansion Draft

After that, they shift to a load of news that has broken over the past week, specifically the last 48 hours. Some new deals were signed such as Travis Dermorr, Joel Eriksson Ek, and even a non-player in Pierre McGuire. However, some incredibly confusing moves were made, which included Duncan Keith, Ryan Suter, and Zach Parise. The guys give their thoughts on all of them and if they understand what was happening or not. Alex and Chace also look forward to what may be the craziest NHL offseason this sport has ever seen.

Looking at the Conference Finals first and the two teams that got sent home. What went wrong? Where do they go from here? After that, they look at Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals and how the Montreal Canadiens can climb back into things. Alex and Chace give the Canadiens props for making it this far and discuss whether or not their defensive setup will be enough to get past Tampa, who seemingly can play every way possible. Finally, they look at the Ryan Nugent-Hopkins signing and the Wayne Simmonds signing, giving their thoughts on both. 

Cup Finals Preview, Signings, Coaching, and Blackhawks News

Alex and Chace are back and they have lots to discuss this week. First, the NHL Awards are being announced. The finalists for each award had been announced over the past few weeks. Now, it is time to see who actually wins. Because of the short offseason this year there will be no NHL awards show. Instead, the guys decide to look at their winners now. Alex and Chace go through the big awards including the Hart, Vezina, Norris and more. Giving their finalists, who were in contention and their winner. Including why they feel the NHL got it right or wrong for who was actually nominated. Finally, they take a look at the semi-finals for the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs. Breaking down both matchups and what to expect for each team. Including what needs to go right or wrong for everyone to move on. They also give their predictions on the series final score. 

NHL Awards and Round Three Preview

Alex and Chace are back, and they decide there is no dancing around the elephant in the room. Right away, they start with the Game 7 and the series collapse for the Toronto Maple Leafs. The guys dissect what happened and what went wrong, as well as how Chace is feeling now. From there, they look at where does this Toronto Maple Leafs roster go from here? Alex thinks the best course of action is to keep the plan, even with all the disappointment. After, they take a look at the Montreal Canadiens who continue to roll and wonder if they do have a chance in the third round. They also look at the other series and discuss the surprises and expected things from each series. Finally, Alex and Chace break down the Seth Jones rumours and what it means going forward.

Where do the Leafs Go from Here? and Seth Jones Rumours

Alex and Chace are back with a ton to discuss as round one of the 2021 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs is almost done. They have one more game seven to get through, and Chace is anxious about it. However, they start by looking through all the other series that have wrapped up. Discussing how the series went and where each team had success. They also then spend a good amount of time looking at what is next for the eliminated teams. What went wrong for them? And where do they go from here on out? Finally, they take a look at tonight's Game 7. The Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens have had quite the series, and it all comes down to one game. The guys discuss Mitch Marner and the whole overreaction, which is natural for fandom. However, they also talk about what the reaction will be like if Montreal pulls it out and takes the final game.

Round One Review and Round Two Preview

Alex and Chace are back for another week. This week, they look at the first games of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs and why they have been some of the best hockey shown in a very long time.

From there, they also take a look at the Jeff Blashill extension and what it means going forward. The guys switch gears to all of the chaos that has taken place so far in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and what else is to come with the North Division about to get underway.

Stanley Cup Playoffs, New York Rangers, Jim Benning and More

The guys are back, and so are the playoffs! Today, Alex and Chace take a look at every single first-round matchup in the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs! Starting with the North, they discuss what to expect out of both series that we already know who will be playing in, despite not starting until Wednesday. Alex also has a rant about the scheduling decision from the league and why it makes no sense.  From there, they switch to the Eastern division and discuss why one matchup could be a bit of a mismatch for the higher seed. As well as why the other series looks like it might be close, despite being a blowout two seasons ago. Next, they take a look at the Central division in which there is once again a lopsided series and a close one. However, Chace and Alex wonder how long it may take Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos to get back to full health? Finally, they end with the Western division where at the time, they didn't have the exact matchups. However, the top two teams are so strong in this division they debate back and forth if it even matters. 

NHL Stanley Cup Playoff Preview

Alex and Chace are back with a loaded week of content. For starters, they spend a bulk of the podcast discussing everything that has surrounded the Tom Wilson incident with the Washington Capitals and New York Rangers. They look at the play and what happened to start. After, they switch to the department of player safety and their overall poor performance. From there, they switch to the New York Rangers side of things and how they handled it.

Next, the guys discuss just how much credit should Jeff Gorton get for building this team? Finally, they switch to a much lighter topic. Andrew Berkshire joins Alex and Chace as the three talk about the Montreal Canadiens and their season so far. What has gone wrong, right, and why they are exactly where they thought they might be. As well as the impact that Cole Caufield has had, plus what is going on with Carey Price again. 

Tom Wilson and the Rangers plus Montreal Canadiens Talk with Andrew Berkshire

The guys are back with another week of content to discuss. To start, they look at Connor McDavid and his insane run. Alex highlights the potential that he hits 100 points in a 56 game season. A feat that is pretty incredible to even think about. They discuss just how good he is and why in their opinion he has to be the unanimous Hart winner this season. Even Chace agrees that although goalies usually deserve the award, this is the most clear-cut case in a very long time. They also give their lists for the top 10 teams they feel are most likely to win the NHL Stanley Cup. For this, they base it off the divisions the teams play in, what they have looked like lately, and overall feeling for how they'd place the odds. Discussing teams like the Tampa Bay Lightning, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Colorado Avalanche. As well as how major it would be for the Carolina Hurricanes to win the division this season. Tune in for all of this and more, with the MnM Hockey Podcast!

Top 10 Most Likely Teams to Win the Stanley Cup

Alex and Chace are back a week after the NHL Trade Deadline has passed. Today, they take a look at some NHL contracts that have been signed since the deadline. Names including Adam Lowry, Tanner Pearson and more. Alex discusses why he dislikes a large majority of these deals, feeling the teams would have been better off moving on from them. However, they also discuss Alex Edler and his suspension. Chace states why he likes the suspension and Alex discusses why it feels surprising one was even handed down, to begin with. From there, they take a look at the Patrick Marleau record as he now has played more games in the NHL than anyone else in history. Some celebrated, others not so much. The guys take a look at both sides of the argument. Finally, Alex and Chace discuss the playoff races in the NHL. Moreso the lack of races happening due to divisional play this season. They talk about whether it's more aggressive and how the wild card actually helps. Tune in for all of that and more, with the MnM Hockey Podcast!

Patrick Marleau Games Record, Bad New Contracts, and Playoff Race Talk

Alex and Chace are back with the NHL Trade Deadline coverage. Last week, they did the NHL Trade Deadline preview. For that, they went through each team and discussed what they should do. Should they buy, sell, or stay put? As well as which players to buy or sell. However, now that the deadline has passed, the guys take a look at some of the trades that actually happened. Chace has some strong opinions on the Toronto Maple Leafs and their deadline, describing it as underwhelming. As well, Alex thinks the winner of the deadline has to be one of the Columbus Blue Jackets, Detroit Red Wings, or Boston Bruins. The guys also discuss a couple of the teams they were disappointed in that they didn't do anything. A pair of teams they thought should sell, but recent winning streaks to place them firmly in fourth changed their minds. As well as a team or two in the North that did nothing but probably should have looked to add.

2021 NHL Trade Deadline Review

Alex and Chace are back with a loaded week of content. Today, they take a look at the NHL Trade Deadline preview. Instead of looking at a trade bait board, the guys decide to take a look at each team individually. They go through each division and for each team, list whether or not they should buy, sell, or stay put. However, they also discuss if the team will actually do that, not just what Alex and Chace would do. They then talk about what players the team should sell if they are on that, and maybe what return to expect as well. Additionally, they take a look at what position teams that are buying need to fill. Giving some details on why they feel they need that and who might be a fit. The guys did record this Wednesday afternoon, so the Kyle Palmieri trade is not a part of the discussion. However, it will be there next week when they do their NHL Trade Deadline recap!

Finally, the guys are joined by Peter Baugh of The Athletic. Peter, Alex, and Chace discuss the Colorado Avalanche Season and exactly why they have been so good.
