This week, we have the wild juxtaposition of all the fantastic NCAA Tournament games leading into the Frozen Four, with the opening of the transfer portal and all of the bonkers ramifications that -- and the NIL money flowing around -- entails. We dive in depth into both topics. We also talk to Sam Jefferies, author of the book 'Legacy on Ice' about 2010 Hobey Baker Award winner Blake Geoffrion, and his fascinating story. You can get the book at Amazon here https://www.amazon.com/Legacy-Ice-Blake-Geoffrion-Fastest/dp/0299344908/ or numerous other places. And coming up next week, we'll have our annual LIVE Frozen Four pregame shows from the concourse at the Xcel Energy Center, two hours prior to the start of Thursday's national semifinals, and Saturday's national championship game.
