Beyond Checkerdome

Like we say, the next best thing to 4-and-Yeo is to go 3-1 the very next week. This time around, we cover the LA, Anaheim, San Jose and Phoenix games. And like most fans, we probably spend a disproportionate amount of time on the one that we lost. We talk about the development of the younger players, and how that can cause problems like what we’re seeing occasionally now. Also, there’s been a lot of talk about women’s hockey lately. The Frozen Four was held here in the #HeartlandOfHockey, and the NWHL just crowned a new champion. There’s been a lot of struggle in the international hockey world, too.
