Good morning, everybody.

Welcome to another episode of HockBlogger Mornings.

I'm Brian Mouser.

You can find me and all the things we do on this show on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram,

at HockBlogger, as well as on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

And for folks that want ad-free audio, you can always get it

at patreon.com slash hawk blogger. That's where to go and you get access to our Discord server as

well. Sorry for the late start today, folks. I honestly have just needed some more time to dig in and do some research.

And some of the research I'm going to continue to do live with you today,

old school, HB morning style.

Some of it I'll just share what I found.

But, you know, I'm trying to block out some time where I can really dig in.

And yesterday I got some good time on the Patriots.

I also watched a few of their games, which was helpful, although I did start to fall asleep,

I got to say, but I did watch a few of their games, their last two playoff games, a little bit more closely.

And I'm going to continue to watch more of those games.

I want to share, like, some of the stuff I'm finding.

Because, you know, you know how I'm wired, guys. Like I... the name of learning more and more about this team that the Seahawks are going to face because,

you know, you know how I'm wired, guys. Like, I want to have as good of an idea on what I think's going to happen in this game as possible. And I think the only way you get there is to be curious

and assume you don't know. And so I'm going to keep digging and digging. And it's kind of this bonus that we get a little

extra time. But it's not that much extra because I actually got some really good news yesterday.
