On a rainy afternoon in the City of Broad Shoulders, Inside Hockey's Chris Lynch calls the podcast from the United Center to discuss the Frozen Four, the path all four teams took to get there, and the Hobey Baker Award.

Hear how Frank Serratore won Chris over at the Providence regional as Air Force proved themselves worthy of the NCAA field, and how Air Force won a coaching matchup for the ages in their regional semifinal against Western Michigan. We also go over the wild North Dakota-BU game, Denver's dominance of the Midwest, and Notre Dame's amazing nine day turnaround against UMass-Lowell.

Chris and I get into a little Hobey Baker talk, and for the second week I'm stumping to nobody in particular for Zach Aston-Reese, the Northeastern senior who would represent the school's first ever Hobey Baker Award winner. Chris makes a strong case for Will Butcher, and we both discuss how Thursday night's game for Denver could sway the voting. I've referred to Aston-Reese as the "leader in the clubhouse," but by that analogy Butcher still has a hole to play.

Cal Petersen's article that Chris mentions during the podcast can be found through this link to The Players' Tribune and is a true must-read for the college hockey fan.
