Jillian Fisher

It's the most wonderful time of the year! We're only one week away from Christmas and we all want is a strong Preds finish to the year. Injuries abound still and the boys are hitting some rough paths. Here's hoping they get back to winning ways. We talk about Ovi's stellar season so far, the continue downward spiral of the Blackhawks, the Flyers FINALLY getting rid of Hakstol and Jillian Fisher stops by to talk some hockey with us and on her viral NHL team/fan videos.

Hockey Goodness

It's been a busy time for the guys since last getting behind the mics. Daniel got an espresso machine, Matt's learning his days of the week, and Kyle got engaged! Meanwhile in the hockey world, the Flyers axed their GM, Tom Wilson is being Tom Wilson, and the Sabres went on a TEN game win streak in the month of November. Also, how about that Chicago game eh? It felt good to destroy them after being embarrassed by Arizona among the other games the team has played since our last recording. We've g...

Brooks Bratten and Thomas Willis

Do you like rides? If so, then step right up to the NHL coaching carousel. It's been a wild season so far as we've seen the Blackhawks, Blues, Kings and the Oilers all fire their coaches in the month of November. So where does Q land? No one knows, but don't count on him remaining unemployed very long. We pick our best/worst Preds game since we last recorded, and Brooks Bratten and Thomas Willis of the Predators stop by to talk with us for a bit. Happy Thanksgiving from us at MCG! You can find t...

Deanna Kay

We are back for another week of Preds hockey and are working on our betting skills since the NHL has decided to allow betting with MGM Resorts.

We also talk about Rinne's contract extension, our best/worst game since we last recorded, best player, and new in-game arena host Deanna Kay stops by to chat with MCG and we learn how she got involve...

Ultimate Predator

Someone better call the fire department because these Preds are on fire! They are 7-1-0 after dropping opening night to Calgary. They've quickly rebound though and are already being tested with Rinne being out at least three games after his injury aagainst the Flames up in Calgary ironically. The guys go through the games, talk about the new band called Connor McDavid & the Oilers, Tootoo's retirement, and Ultimate Predator stops by to talk about how the legend of The Masked Man of Broadway ...

We also talk about who had the best off-season acquisition, (If you say anyone other than Tavares...WRONG) and touch on the Preds preseason games. Finally, we di...

MCG Season Two

It's almost time for hockey season in Smashville! We are just days away from training camp and the start of preseason hockey! We kick into season 2 of Music City Gold talking about Nate Schmidt's PED ban, the Canadiens trading their captain, shockingly, to Vegas for a bag of hockey pucks, and give our Top 5 / Bottom 5 teams of the season.

Hamhuis, Rinaldo, and Watson...a.k.a. the Preds offseason

Well kids, it's been a long two months for the MCG since their last show, but we are back with a summer episode! We've been in the gym working our muscles and flexing those "golden" pipes for the show and working our on woodworking skills as we actually did build a table so we could ditch the old card ones. This is a jam packed episode as we discuss the Preds offseason signings, their recent acquisitions of Dan Hamhuis, Zac Rinaldo...for better or worse, and we have an adult conversation regardi...

The Caps are the Champions!

The Washington Capitals are the Stanley Cup champions! It's was a glorious final, one for the record books, and one for the ages.

Maybe they get their darling goalie back from Carolina? We also jump into Game 3, 4, and 5 of the Final. This entire Cup run can be experienced just from the emotions of Ovechkin alone. It's a glorious sight to b...

Stanley Cup Bound

We have one game remaining in the Eastern Conference Final. Game 7. Lightning v Capitals. Who you got? We discuss the pivotal Game 7 of the ECF and swing over to the West where Vegas continues to shock the hockey world by making it to the Stanley Cup Final. Is this good or bad for the sport. Does it tarnish the myth of the Stanley Cup being the hardest trophy to win in sports? Are other hockey fans just envious? We go over all of this, do a run down of the Preds potential off season moves, and b...

The Preds Season Comes to an End

Sad day in the Preds world. The boys got bounced in Game 7 of the second round to the Jets and start the off season early. Not the ending we hoped for at all.

The guys sit down and talk through the Eastern and Western Conference Finals, give their thoughts on Poile and Laviolette's end of the season press conference and go over the anti-climatic Game 7.

Down to Eight

And just like that boys and girls, Round 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs is over and done...well...we thought so until the Bruins couldn't close it out and allow the Leafs to force a Game 7. Will the Bruins be victorious or will the scrappy Leafs get Auston Matthews going and pull the upset?! Who knows! That's playoff hockey! The guys break down the Preds / Avs Round 1 series and take a trip around the Western and Eastern conferences looking at results of all the first round matches. Has anyone as...

Wow, has it really been 20 episodes already?! It's been a fun ride and we're glad to have to you along. Things kick off with some car talk as Kyle got a new car over the weekend to replace his aging 350Z, but talk quickly flips to hockey as Alex Ovechkin hit 600 goals in the Caps game against the Jets earlier in the week. Oh, Marc-Andre Fleury hit 400 wins and Laine became 3rd all time in points by a teenager passing Gretzky. We also talk the Preds red hot 10 game franchise record win streak and...

The Blackhawks Fall From Grace

The boys hit the mics a few days early to bring you an episode so jam packed even Lavy would have to appreciate it. Did you know Seattle put down a TEN MILLION dollar down payment for an NHL expansion team?! Also, the NHL Player Safety committee has been handing down suspensions right and left. Are they correct? Will they take note of the ECHL fight between the Walleye and Mavericks? Let's be honest though, the main thing we're happy about is Fisher is back. With the idea Tolvanen possibly comin...
