  • The Neutral Zone - Season 4 Episode 15 McDavid Suspended

    The Neutral Zone - Season 4 Episode 15 McDavid Suspended
    Jan 22 2025
    Connor McDavid got handed out a 3-game suspension for a cross check on Conor Garland over the weekend. Was this the right move or too harsh by the NHL? And the timing couldn't be worse as the Washington Capitals are coming into town. We also had goalie madness this week as Alex Nedeljkovic had the greatest offensive game for a goalie in NHL history with a goal and and assist against the Sabers. He also logged 40 saves, too, for good measure. Meanwhile, in the ECHL we had a goalie fight down in Kansas City!
    Ricky K of New York State of Sports joined the guys in the 2nd half of the show to discuss the New York Sirens of the PWHL and talk PWHL at large. The guys then also brought New York's NHL squads to try and figure out what has gone wrong this season.

    The Neutral Zone - Season 4 Episode 14 Who's Doing What Now?
    Jan 15 2025
    Adam and Zach break down the latest in a wild week of hockey. The Red Wings lost to San Jose to end what was the longest winning streak in the NHL at 7 games. Still, it's been an impressive several weeks in Detroit, which has Zach gushing. On the stranger side, what in the world was Bruce Boudreau doing with a beer league team? The PWHL is talking expansion - where should they be looking? And as Ovechkin gets closer to over taking Gretzky, there is one person in the NHL that is able to give a unique perspective on both scoring greats.

    Jan 8 2025
    Adam and Zach celebrated the US winning gold at the World Juniors in Canada. An impressive 4-3 overtime victory over Finland. Nice job to come from behind and get the win. The guys also offer up some, hopefully obvious, solutions for fixing the World Classic so that the thud that was this year's offering doesn't happen again. Zach also gives some stories out of his notebook.

    The Neutral Zone - Season 4 Episode 11: World Juniors Madness!!!
    Jan 3 2025
    It's been a crazy World Juniors so far. Latvia made it to the quarter finals for just the 2nd time ever! The US is one step closer to repeating as champions. Canada might now make it to the semi finals?!

    Meanwhile, in the NHL, Zach and Adam go over the 12 games running tonight as well as look back on the Winter Class from Tuesday night. Does it deserve to be anywhere other than the bottom of the list of 16 World Classics?

    Finally, Zach has quite a few college hockey updates.
