Hopeless Sports Guy

If there is ever a contest in which you listen to "Hopeless Sports Guy" please do yourself a favor and check in with the duo out of retirement! (I joke of course) But Cooper Hopkins and I were treated to a contest that had all sorts of intrigue and we also hit on every single prediction for the game in real time. I'm not sure how we keep landing memorable broadcasts, but this was jus...

The Rangers have the opportunity to take a massive 2-0 lead against the Hurricanes and are one of the most dangerous teams in the league on the powerplay. This game was epic.

The Dallas Stars are trying to get revenge against the Vegas Golden Knights for what happened in the Western Conference Finals last season. Winner gets the Colorado Avalanche.

It was a third-straight game with a 2-1 score line as the series between Toronto and Boston comes to a thrilling conclusion!

The defending Stanley Cup Champion Vegas Golden Knights are up against it as the Dallas Stars have won three-straight games. Adin Hill comes up with a monster performance.

Will the home team win a game for the first time in this series? This contest between the Golden Knights and the Stars was the best game in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs to date. Join Alec and I on the call.

The Boston Bruins had just two shots in the first period! The Toronto Maple Leafs made some lineup changes, and it was a welcome sight to see.

The Florida Panthers had a chance to eliminate the Tampa Bay Lightning and they dominated the third period to get some quick rest in this shortened series. Winner gets Boston or Toronto.

Coming off a wild 7-6 victory over the Colorado Avalanche... the Jets looked to take a dominating 2-0 series lead. But Colorado wasn't messing around.

It all comes down to this, what a ride it has been for Red Wings fans over the last couple of days! Thank you for all of the support on the YouTube side as well. This has definitely been a rollercoaster ride.

Detroit needed to get at least a point to keep their season alive and try to push for a playoff spot. Heroics and a inside look between the Washington Capitals and the Pittsburgh Penguins. This sets up a critical Tuesday... What is going to happen on Tuesday?

This was a great contest between a couple of the best college hockey programs in the game. Alongside Alec Nava we take you through all of the tension that Saturday had to offer!

It's going to be a monster couple of days with the NHL Playoff Chase and the Frozen Four, so I Alec and I took you through the Red Wings and the Penguins heroics and went through the college hockey landscape!

These two teams have been sliding out of the playoff picture but the second Wild Card in the Eastern Conference is still up for grabs. This was a tilt that had a lot of banter back and forth from me and our YouTube viewers when the game was winding down. The content was pretty good.

The Arizona Diamondbacks made the World Series in 2023 and looked to be in supreme form against the New York Yankees who have been hot to start the new season.

The Michigan State Spartans were going for a fifth victory in six meetings over the Michigan Wolverines after just winning the "Big Ten Tournament" last week. The Wolverines were determined as a spot to the "Frozen Four" was on the line. There were some electric plays in this one and I was happy to be joined by Alec Nava!

The new 2024 MLB campaign has begun and it was a pretty good game between Boston and Seattle!
