This week we do a fine comb over every conference heading into their tournaments and where the contenders sit on the bubble.

It's our annual rundown of discussing and predicting our Minnesota State Hockey Tournament brackets.

Much like President Musk asked of the federal employees, the guys come up with reasons to stay on the pod. Mailbag brings us to Russia, Sweden, and behind on the bench. Oscar trivia and the battle of pick'ems continues.

This week in a full episode we recap all the games that were in Games in Growlers. The mailbag asks if LIU is on the rise and future powerhouses in 2 conferences. We breakdown the conferences at the end of the season here and play a Podleywed Game.
