Minnesota is the Team of the Week, coming off double shutouts, with Richter Award candidate Justen Close in net. The Big Ten had a bunch of pivotal games. And then there was The Beanpot, captured by Northeastern for the fifth time in six tries -- in 3-on-3 OT again, and we discuss the abomination of that.

Former Cornell captain and assistant coach Topher Scott, who spent last season as Dir. of Hockey Ops for Michigan, joins us to talk about a variety of topics, including dedicating himself full time to his business. There some Hobey talk, and we dive into the Major Junior eligibility issue -- discussing where things stand now.
