As the conference tournaments hit high gear, with all six underway this week, it's time to address some pressing questions around the sport. Co-hosts Nate Ewell (@nateewell, @collegehockey) and Brad Schlossman (@SchlossmanGF) tackle some this-or-that options regarding the national scoring lead, traditional powers making the tournament, and favorites in conference tourneys.

It's a historic podcast - likely the first on college hockey recorded from New Mexico - and a great time of year to take a look around the game.

Apologies in advance for the audio quality from Brad's cell phone as he navigated the roads to North Dakota's NCHC quarterfinal series at Denver.
