With hockey season under way and basketball season looming, we were lucky to get two insightful guests this week.

Mike McMahon is as well-connected a reporter as there is in Hockey East. We talked about the conference, the overall direction of college hockey and his thoughts on Greg Carvelโ€™s potential at UMass (spoiler alert – he likes him).

Bruiser Flint has always been a great interview and story teller with a great insight into college basketball as a whole. Heโ€™s taking the year off this year and talked with us about his future, the sport, the NCAAโ€™s fifth-year transfer rule that indirectly led to his firing at Drexel, John Calipari and his thoughts on the national anthem protests around sports.
