On the show Colby Dant (@TheColbyD), Noah Bieniek (@NoahB77_), and Troy Chewning (@troychewning) provide their Frozen Four Picks and break down all the College Hockey tourney games.

Bieniek then dives in on the NCHC and Big Ten vs Hockey East head-to-head conversation and the debate on whether NCAA Tournament Regional games should be played on-campus or at neutral sites. Plus the duo talks about the impact of the Frozen Four being hosted in Las Vegas and highlight that eight of the ten Hobey Baker Award finalists are in the field.
