It's finals season, and that means college students and hockey players alike are looking forward to an important break. The college hockey world is getting ready for their holiday break and the near midway point of the season. Insidehockey.com's Chris Lynch joins the show again to talk about his busy schedule as a college hockey writer in New England. That includes last weekend's BU-BC games, as well as Saturday's matchup between Boston College and top ten team Northeastern University.

After a quick preview of the Governor's Cup finals between Alaska and Alaska-Anchorage, Chris and I get into some very preliminary Hobey Baker discussion. Takeaway of the week: It's a weird year for Hockey East so far.
