There's never a shortage of close calls, controversy and players skating the line - occasionally going over it - in the chase for the Stanley Cup.We're at the halfway of the point in round two. With emotion and intensity continuing to rise, Neil and Vic welcome back a voice of reason, someone to bring down the heat: former NHL referee and current rules analyst for ESPN, Dave Jackson.Later in the show, we do the deeper dive into all four conference semi-final series and in "The Human Side of the Story," after more than four decades with different roles in hockey, relationships still manage to come full circle for both hosts.

Dave let's us in on some of the banter that takes place between players and officials...and coaches.[30:46] - As society has changed, Dave tells us how that has affected the tolerance of what can and can't be said on the ice.[34:43] - Before leaving, Dave sends the reminder that, while officials aren't perfect, they are driven to be their best the same way the players so...as fans it's easy to forget that.[40:07] - Deeper dive into the Capitals-Hurricanes fourth game.[45:16] - The Oilers learned from Game 3 not to let up off the gas as they built a similar first period lead in Game 4 with the Golden Knights.[48:43] - The Maple Leafs look to reverse the fortunes of Games 3 and 4 against the Panthers Wednesday.[53:16] - If the Winnipeg Jets are to see the West Final, they will have to figure out how to win a road game.

Episode: 231 Released on September 16, 2024 Description: NIRO Knowledge and NIRO Crime Analysis creator, Nicholas (Nick) Roy, joins us this week to discuss his unique journey into the analytical and teaching world. From playing around with computers in the 80s, Nick had always had a knack for technology and quick learning. He started his law enforcement career as a police dispatcher where he stayed for 12+ years, and during that same time, worked as a records manager for 10+ years at a neighboring police department. As Nick worked for a smaller agency, he had the opportunity to double-up as their crime analyst, leveraging programs such as Microsoft Access, Excel, and PowerBI to his agency's advantage. Nick credits his success in the law enforcement analysis profession to those within Massachusetts Association of Crime Analysts (MACA) and the further connections he made through the International Association of Crime Analysts (IACA). Nick is currently an IT consultant for Umbral Technologies, and continues to give back to the community through a myriad of training he offers through NIRO Crime Analysis and other establishments.   This episode contains the fan-favorite segment, Don't Be That Analyst.
