Coming up in the 9 o'clock hour, we'll give you a chance to win a four pack of tickets to see the Harlem Globetrotters Saturday, March 8th at Capital One Arena.

So keep listening for your chance to win those tickets. That's coming up in just about an hour.

You should be joined shortly, or I believe we are being joined now on the Rood Guest Hotline.

Rude, the most reliable heating and air conditioning products in the DMV.

We're joined by Greg Wischinski, ESPN Senior NHL writer.

Good morning.

Good morning.

But I'll tell you, after watching the first 10 seconds of that game on Saturday night,

I mean, it should be a fever pitch in Boston for that game on Thursday, right?

Yeah, you could already feel it last night in a game against Sweden.

That meant absolutely nothing

because the championship final had already been set by virtue of Canada beating Finland earlier

in the day.

Like, I was at the game last night.
