    Conference tournament season is officially here, and the chaos has already begun. In this episode of Light the Lamp, the guys break down a wild weekend of college hockey as teams across the country fight for their playoff lives.

    We dive into the Big Ten playoff picture, including Penn State’s sudden slide down the PairWise rankings and whether they could actually be in danger of missing the NCAA tournament after looking like a lock just weeks ago. Meanwhile, Minnesota, Notre Dame, and the rest of the conference prepare for a one-game playoff format where anything can happen.

    Elsewhere around the country, overtime hockey ruled the weekend. Bentley and Mercyhurst battled through a triple-overtime thriller, while Air Force and Robert Morris needed double OT in another Atlantic Hockey marathon. We also look at the first-ever United Collegiate Hockey Cup, a brand new postseason tournament for independent programs.

    • ECAC playoffs getting underway with the top seeds advancing

    • CCHA tournament matchups heating up
