The holiday season has come and gone and that means the Winter Classic has as well. And along with the end of the Winter Classic is the end of the Road to the NHL Winter Classic series on EPIX, which nicely filled the void left by HBO’s 24/7 version of the show for three seasons.

Ryan Brandell of Barstool Sports Chicago (known as “Chief” on that site), joined me to talk about the fourth episode of the series, Joel Quenneville becoming the most likable personality in the NHL, the Blackhawks’ disappointing loss in the Winter Classic and parity in the league this season.
