Hot off the presses, Brad Schlossman (Grand Forks Herald) and Jayson Hajdu (College Hockey Inc.) react to the finalists for both the Hobey Baker Memorial Award and the Mike Richter Award. Did anyone qualify as a surprise on either list? How much will the next three weeks matter to the voters? Then the guys dive into the conference playoffs and PairWise situation before doing a little reminiscing about college hockey at the Xcel Energy Center, which is hosting the NCHC Frozen Faceoff for the final time this weekend.
