Eastern Bias

This week, Chris and Shep say goodbye to Hockey East. It's actually last week because sometimes Shep is bad at putting these up. Pour one out for the league, but make sure it's not the good stuff because the league was not the good stuff. RIP Hockey East. Follow the show on Twitter: @easternbias, @blogginbabcock and @chrismboulay. We're not done for the year, either!

This week, Chris and Shep do exactly what they said they always would. Nothing here is different from what we said. Everything is totally fine and normal and never in doubt. Follow the show on Twitter: @easternbias, @blogginbabcock and @chrismboulay.

This week, Chris and Shep finally return after technical issues and power outages galore to preview the Hockey East Championship. They also recap coaching news, get HOT and STEAMY and Shep complains a whooooooooole bunch about BU. Follow the show on Twitter: @easternbias, @blogginbabcock and @chrismboulay.

It's over. On this special, late night edition of Eastern Bias, Shep and Mike Davis of the Northeastern Hockey Blog break down the Huskies historic Beanpot victory over the Terriers. They place the win in perspective of Northeastern's season and the program's history, they praise Jim Madigan, and they give thanks to good goaltending. There are a few (slight) audio quality issues. This was recorded late and fast. 

This week, Chris and Shep mostly talk about the Olympics and the Beanpot. They debate the meaning of a good hockey game, bemoan giving so much money to the Jacobs family and go all in on Olympic video games.  Follow the show on Twitter: @easternbias, @blogginbabcock and @chrismboulay.

This week, Chris and Shep talk about beer. Which is weird because Shep doesn't drink. They also keep moaning about how boring Hockey East is, sort of preview the Beanpot and sort of talk about the Super Bowl. It's another weird show.  

This week, Chris and Shep return to say Hockey East still stinks. So they talk about maps instead. Really. They spend a solid 20 minutes on Google Maps and fail to discuss important hockey topics. It's a great show

This week, Shep welcomes Chris Peters of ESPN, NCAA.com and United States of Hockey for their annual pre-World Juniors chat. They discuss Canadian failure, glorious American success and the Olympics.

This week, Joe and Shep go totally unprepared and have a maybe good show. They talk about BC and BU because of course, but also why UNH is bad, why Providence is bad, why they're not sold on Northeastern and basically why this league is bad in general.
