On the last episode of 2018, Andy is on a hiatus (though he manages to make a brief appearance on the show), so John and Darren are left to hold down the fort. Fortunately they are joined by Snohomish, WA's own Lexi Bender, a two-time NWHL All-Star for the Boston Pride and alumnus of Boston College and Shattuck St. Mary's.  With Lexi, the guys discuss some of the challenges of playing professional hockey and how it compares to playing college hockey. They also debate the benefits of allowing full contact in women's hockey and eventually get into a fun game of Buy, Sell, or Hold.  Also in this episode, John and Darren discuss the riveting performances of Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner in The Nutcracker, break down NHL Seattle's new music partnership, examine Carter Hart's dazzling NHL debut, and count down the Top 10 hockey stories of 2018.  Finally, Weekly One-Timers and Games On Our Radar.  SUBSCRIBE!
