Welcome back to the 65th edition of Power 5 Sports Podcast! On today's show, we're joined by Nolan Trepeck to bring the fans a full rundown of the NHL's latest news and storylines. First, we take a look at teams that have been atop their respective divisions. There is no doubt that the Lightning, Bruins, Capitals, Jets, Flames, and Predators all have their sights set on deep playoff runs. Despite the consistent success of these organizations, do not forget about the Blues, Blackhawks, and Flyers! These three squads are trending in the right direction at the right time. Over the course of the podcast we highlight some names that might be headed to new cities as of the Monday, February 25 trade deadline. Even though there is plenty of hockey still to be played in the regular season, we make some early playoff predictions featuring the teams that we think are here for the long haul.

Welcome back to another edition of Power 5 Sports Podcast! We are exactly one week away from Super Bowl LIII and we couldn't be more thrilled to recap the Conference Championships and preview everything you need to know for the Patriots vs. Rams matchup. First off, what in the world happened in New Orleans?! What are your feelings about the blown call? How should Commissioner Goodell handle this? Regardless, if it wasn't for an inexcusable mistake by the officials, we could be watching a Drew Brees vs. Tom Brady Super Bowl. Instead, after Jared Goff marched the offense down the field to set up Greg Zuerlein's game-tying FG which was followed by an overtime INT and Rams FG, LA is headed to SB 53. Moving over to Arrowhead Stadium, the Patriots vs. Chiefs game also did not disappoint. The Chiefs defense could not stand tall, Brady worked his magic on third downs, and Rex Burkhead punched the Patriots ticket to the SB with a rushing TD at the 10:08 mark in overtime. Do you think a change in overtime rules is needed? How could Patrick Mahomes not have an opportunity to touch the ball in overtime of the AFC Championship? Finally, we transition our attention to the Super Bowl. We discuss what each team needs to do in order to win, x-factors for both sides, key matchups worth keeping an eye on and conclude with our predictions. As always, thank you so much for your support!
