About this episode
When Gavin McKenna opted to play at Penn State, the decision was heralded as one of the biggest commitments in college hockey history. Now, despite 14 points in his first 12 games, there are some concerns about No. 72’s play and his status as the presumptive No. 1 pick in the NHL Draft. Plus, the guys discuss what they saw at the recent U17 World Challenge and the U20 Five Nations tournaments and close things out with listener questions in the mailbag.
