We ask Brad Schlossman (Grand Forks Herald) to unpack the ongoing CHL-NCAA eligibility story, including where it's currently at and where it might be heading (and when, for that matter).

Then the guys dive into the start of the men's college hockey season, including encouraging starts for first-year head coaches, an EBUG sighting at Merrimack, Luke Ashton's impressive NCAA debut, compelling non-conference matchups, a significant early injury in Duluth, and plenty more.

Come for Brad's knowledge, stay for the glitch in the 2014-15 lobe of Jayson's brain.
