On today's show Corey Swartz of HBH nation and Richard Blosser from the grit and bear it podcast join Dan on the show to talk Bears hockey

The Hershey Bears came out strong in game one against the rival Lehigh Valley Phantoms, defeating them by a score of 2-1. Despite being outshot 31-28, the Bears were able to capitalize on their opportunities. Rookie Hendrix Lapierre opened the scoring, assisted by Chase Priskie and Ethen Frank. Henrik Rybinski followed up with a second period goal thanks to helpers from Matt Strome and Bogdan Trineyev. Goaltender Hunter Shepard was the hero, making 30 saves and shutting down the Phantoms' attack. Head coach Todd Nelson acknowledged it was a grind, with the Phantoms giving them all they could handle and the game nearly going to overtime. With key contributors like Riley Sutter and Vinnie Iorio out with injuries, the Bears relied on their depth and experience to slam the door. Young guns Lapierre and Connor McMichael provided a boost upon returning from the Capitals' roster. Looking ahead to Game 2, the Bears will need to bring their best to avoid falling into a 1-1 series tie. They'll need to dictate play early, cash in on scoring chances, and get continued brilliant goaltending from Shepard. The Phantoms will be hungry to even the series on home ice, so the Bears must match their desperation from the opening puck drop. If Hershey brings the same work ethic and capitalizes on opportunities, they should be able to head home up 2-0. But they can't let up for a minute against the always dangerous Phantoms.
