Division Championship recap, Jr. Dragster Western Conference Finals and being A Kid Again!

After a bit of a break, MLS, LAFC, and the Defenders are back at it, and boy does it feel good to be back. Sitting just 2 episodes away from 200, Filly and the Scarf recap all the goings-on in the Emerald City. It's Episode 198 of "The Most LAFC Podcast on Earth!", Defenders of the Banc. In what we hope will be a preview of the eventual Western Conference Final, LAFC travels to the Pacific Northwest to take on the Seattle Sounders, the recent CCL Champions and very familiar foe of the Black and Gold. Scarf, Nina, and Panda all traveled to Lumen Field for the match, while Filly held it down at the official watch party near USC. LAFC looked to remain at the top of the table while MLS celebrated Juneteenth league-wide. One storyline going into the match would be who would NOT be playing. For Seattle, Joao Paulo is out for the season while Yeimar and Ruidiaz would be out for the match. On our side of things, while we still await the debut of Eddie Segura, we were missing Brian Rodriguez due to travel issues (he's getting his green card) while Kellyn Acosta, Carlos Vela, Mamadou Fall, and Franco Escobar all would begin the match on the bench. After a beautiful rendition of "Lift Every Voice and Sing", the match played out a bit like a heavyweight fight, with both prizefighters feeling each other out for the first half. Seattle had more opportunities of quality, but both sides would enter the half without a goal. It was Seattle's major offseason acquisition, Albert Rusnak, who would score first, off a perfect pass from... Maxime Crepeau. It was a gaffe that Maxime immediately copped to, and one that looked like it would doom LAFC on the road. However, just 6 minutes after making his LAFC debut, Danny Trejo, the kid from Mendota, battled for a header that found Chicho in the box. With Stefan Frei badly out of position, Arango's header goes over Frei but under the bar for a 79th minute equalizer, and LAFC would take a point home with them from the Emerald City. Quite the debut for Trejo, LAFC's first round pick of a year ago. Also on this episode, much like Bo Jackson in the 90's, Filly gives himself a new nickname, Scarf has his greatest moment at a pool table (with witnesses!), and both The Ghost and Three Umlauts get a mention! Just two episodes away from another huge milestone, so stay tuned for all the fun, but in the meantime, enjoy Episode 198!

SEATTLE, WA - The Year of the Improbable continues as LA and Austin simmer at home, literally and figuratively, while Seattle goes to Houston in the Western Conference Final... Outside Boston, New England and NY face off for the 4th time in 2022. That's NOT a typo. Addressing all of it are Free Jacks/Atlanta owner Errik Anderson, Seattle Seawolves/USA Rugby legend Andrew Durutalo, Bryan Ray of Americas Rugby News, Dan Power and Matt McCarthy. Plus, we have a stand alone interview with Nate Augspurger. And don't miss this week's The Rugby Odds. It's a good one. Watch... Listen/Download the Podcast version...

The Outsiders are back with one of your favorite episodes from last season, The Outsiders Play GM. In the second episode, Bibs gets his shot at playing Dallas Mavericks GM while Reese handles the duties of being the players being pitched to or the team to which a trade is being proposed. A quick rundown of the rules: Reese will be allowed to veto 5 of Bibs' moves A back-and-forth negotiation of a proposed trade only counts as one veto Grant is here to ensure that the trades are legal, track the roster count, and track the money The Dallas Mavericks are in an interesting situation coming into the offseason. With Luka's max contract extension going into effect, the team is operating over the cap. Jalen Brunson is an unrestricted free agent who can technically leave without the Mavs being able to stop him. However, if he stays, the contract he receives will only impact Mark Cuban's luxury tax bill. The Mavs also technically have a full roster of players so any additions that are made will likely also mean the departure of a player that was on the team this past season. A season that saw the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals. Will Bibs make any big changes to the roster or will things pretty much stay the same? We shall see. 00:00:16 - 00:01:17 Quick Intro (Go back to episode 1 if you need the rules) 00:01:18 - 00:56:31 Bibs Plays GM 00:56:34 - 01:00:27 Grant Tax Breakdown and Immediate Reactions 01:00:37 - 01:06:45 Other Plans that we didn't see 01:06:49 - 01:10:48 Final Rosters and rotation Enjoy!

It's Friday afternoon and that means we're hitting you with a brand new episode of Oilersnation Radio to help you finish off what's left of your week with an hour of all things Edmonton Oilers. On today's show, we looked ahead at the offseason, what the Oilers' biggest need will be, and a whole lot more.Kicking off this week's podcast, we got started with a look at what is the biggest question of the summer for an Edmonton Oilers team that's coming off the Western Conference Finals. Whether it's the Evander Kane question or what happens in net, Ken Holland and his staff will have some major decisions to make over the next few months and we wondered how the Oilers are going to get everything done. From there, we looked at some of the latest rumours that are circling the team, including Josh Anderson out of Montreal after a couple of local scribes have mentioned his name. Would he be an appropriate replacement for Evander Kane provided that he doesn't re-sign with the Oilers? Next up, we looked at some of the prospects that may potentially be available at 29th overall or if it would be a smarter move for the Oilers to trade down to try and pick up more picks. Lastly, we wrapped up today's episode of Oilersnation Radio with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot and Cold performers. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

06-10 The Instigators breaks down game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

Mike and Jason welcome in Kevin Woodley to discuss what the future holds for the Edmonton Oilers between the pipes. Is Mike Smith as bad as his Western Conference Final performance indicated? Is he better? Also, Ask Us Anything. This podcast is produced by Dominic Sramaty and Ben Basran.  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Media Inc. or any affiliate. 

On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show, hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke discuss the Boston Bruins shocking move of firing head coach Bruce Cassidy. Why make this move now, if you're the Bruins, and will it pay off with a team that could have run it back with some changes next year? Next, the Edmonton Oilers were swept by the Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference Final. While the series was overall disappointing, the games themselves were fun thanks to the high-profile talent on display… and Mike Smith being Mike Smith. Plus, the Tampa Bay Lightning seem to have gotten their mojo back against the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference Final. In order for the Rangers to have a chance, they'll need to get Andrei Vasilevskiy off his game once more before it's too late.

Thursday is here which means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode to help you recover from the Oilers' Western Conference Finals loss to the Colorado Avalanche. On today's show, the guys looked at their pop choices, yards of beer, golf suspensions, and much more.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a conversation about Tyler's drink choices as he rolled into the podcast studio with a fresh Mountain Dew. Somehow talking about pop led the boys to share stories about when they got pulled over or ticketed for varying reasons, and how none of them were able to get out of the ticket. Sticking with sports, the guys walked through the Liv Golf situation as the PGA announced more than a dozen suspensions for players that jumped ship for more cash. Since Baggedmilk doesn't follow the sport at all, he was very confused about the suspensions but thankfully Tyler was there to make sense of what's happening. Back to the Oilers, the guys recapped the Western Conference Finals after what was an unbelievable run that saw the boys playing into June even though no one saw it coming. The guys also covered what the Oilers may or need to do in what will be a very important offseason for this hockey team. Lastly, the podcast got wrapped up with a look at the Nation Vacation to Toronto that will be happening in August and why you should come to the Six with us.

The boys also keep you up-to-date on the latest action from the Eastern and Western Conference Finals and give you their hottest takes and analysis on each series matchup. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show! Produced by @Hedgebettor

On Episode 95 of Beers in The Lot, the Aaron-less crew commented on the Boston Bruins firing head coach Bruce Cassidy and what NHL head coach hiring and firing that might lead to in the off season. Danny, Rigs, and Jonny also watched game 4 of the Western Conference Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche. While watching the game, they started to notice whenever they mentioned a player, something good happened for that player shortly after. The only explanation is, we are the Hockey Illuminati.

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens: The Montreal Canadiens announced the stunning hire of Marie-Philip Poulin as a player development consultant. It's a massive step forward for the Canadiens as the continue to modernize their front office and they hired one of the greatest to ever lace up a pair of skates. Scott and Laura discuss Poulin's role and which prospects she can likely help the most in the coming months. Speaking of prospects, the long-awaited professional debut of Joshua Roy appears to be on the near horizon. Gabriel Bourque was missing from the Laval Rocket's morning skate and Roy was inserted onto a line with Joël Teasdale and Cedric Paquette. He however, did not practice with the power play groups, so what can we potentially expect from Roy is he is in the lineup for Game 3 at Place Bell? Once again, Artturi Lehkonen has sent his team to the Stanley Cup Final with an overtime goal in the Western Conference Final. Scott and Laura reflect on the trade that sent Lehkonen to Colorado, and how neither host is shocked at how well he's play for the Avs. The hosts also take a look at the Edmonton Oilers, who finally made a deep run, but were seemingly outmatched every step of the way by Colorado. Would the Oilers have advanced if they acquired an actual quality NHL goalie, like say Jake Allen? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
