S1E38: A Sour Ending to a Surprisingly Sweet Season

The Loony Bin Podcast ·

2024/11/25

The Loons’ season came to an end at the hands of the L.A. Galaxy (and the referee - not bitter) in a game that ended 6-2 souring an otherwise successful 2024 campaign to build upon. We take a close look at this game and prepare for an offseason that will hopefully bring new additions to take this team to the next level.

S1E35: Playoff Penalty Kicks (x2) Pace Postseason Push

The Loony Bin Podcast ·

2024/11/04

It’s two more draws against Real Salt Lake making it six draws in a row against those Salty Banana Chips (credit: The Loony Bin Junior). But this time, in the MLS Cup Playoffs, both games go to penalty kicks and the Loons advance to the Western Conference Semifinal against the LA Galaxy. Their victories come on the back of Dayne St. Claire’s PK saves (and RSL’s misses) and a team of shooters who make 8 out of 10 shots. Now we wait three weeks for the Loon’s next playoff game.

It’s the October International Break, so who better to bring on than Jeff Rueter from The Athletic.

The Loony Bin Podcast ·

2024/10/07

The Loons earned four points while away at RSL and Vancouver while scoring one total goal from a penalty kick. They’re now up to 405 minutes without conceding a goal, a team record, and have leap-frogged Vancouver for the 7th seed in the playoffs. With a two week break (for those not playing internationally), the team now gets ready for Decision Day at home against St. Louis where they could end the season anywhere from 5th to 8th place. ------------------ Connect with us on twitter

The Loons play their best home game of the year and Loonlet Matt was in the Wonderwall to take it all in.

S1E29: Road Sweet Road (feat. Points from Blue Hell)

The Loony Bin Podcast ·

2024/09/23

After a disappointing home loss to a formidable FC Cincinnati team, the Loons went to Sporting Kansas City and took home their first ever points during the MLS regular season. Aided by a weather delay, the crossbar and an upcoming Open Cup final for SKC, the Loons did what they had to do and held onto the last play-in playoff spot for now. Next up is a home game against the Colorado Rapids. ------------------ Connect with us on twitter (@loonybindpodcast), email us at theloonybinpod@gmail.com

S1E25: Despite Yeboah Brace, Seattle Wins in our Place

The Loony Bin Podcast ·

2024/08/26

The Loons season begins again (thank god), with some fresh faces in place (quite needed). But it's the same old crap against the Sounders as Seattle wins 3-2 in our house, beating the Loons three times this season. Until we beat them, they are our daddy … ------------------ Connect with us on twitter (@loonybindpodcast), email us at theloonybinpod@gmail.com or find us at www.theloonybinpod.com.

2024/08/13

As we approach the end of the Summer Transfer Window on Wednesday, August 14th, the Loons have been active bringing in new players, and sending some away.
