## Resource

The Four Feathers Podcast crew is #BACK for the eighth season in podcast history. Tony, Ron, and our good friend Nick Neumayer are on the mics to get the season rolling with plenty of Blackhawks news and notes. The trio discusses Connor Bedard's captaincy at great length, and round out the news with an Ethan Del Mastro contract chat. From there, discussions about Kevin Korchinski, Bowen Byram, and others in the preseason so far take up a lot of our time. Then, a fun prediction and our usual segments close out the program. On tap next is more playoff hockey and the first regular season game in just one week.
