Spring might be rough on Matt’s sinuses, but the Utah sports scene keeps him going!

This week, he breaks down the Utah Hockey Club’s big presence at the 2025 IIHF World Championship — with Clayton Keller rocking the “C” for Team USA and multiple players repping internationally.

Then, it’s portal madness for BYU: from the Bachmeier brothers joining the football squad to a men’s basketball roster rebuild that looks... terrifying in the best way.

Finally, Matt takes Microsoft to task for jacking up Xbox prices and $80 games — offering a passionate rant on why AAA gaming is starting to suck and what you can (and should) play instead. Steam Deck gang, rise up.
