First, Max and Corey break down the Frozen Four and discuss Corey’s pick, Denver, defeating Max’s pick, Minnesota State, 5-1 in the championship game, the play of Michigan’s top players in the tournament, and the legacy for this group with four top-five picks in the lineup, and more.
Then, the guys talk about why Minnesota State goaltender Dryden McKay won the Hobey Baker award as college hockey’s best player, but not the Mike Richter award as the best goalie, Ben Meyers signing with the Colorado Avalanche, an in-depth preview of the upcoming 2022 IIHF World U18 Championships in Germany, and more.
Plus, to close things out, the guys open up the mailbag and answer listener questions about whether the 2021 OHL shutdown impacted players’ draft positions, notable risers and fallers in this year’s NHL Draft, if next season’s rookie class will be more formidable than this year’s, Brad Marchand becoming a high-skill player in the NHL, realistic expectations for Bobby Brink in the NHL, best fast food burgers, and many more.
