After a brief Olympic break, College Hockey Today returns to look at the start of the playoffs in five conferences. To do so, co-hosts Nate Ewell (@nateewell, @collegehockey) and Brad Schlossman (@SchlossmanGF) each pick a team in each conference most likely to unseat the top seed for the title. They also offer a salute to seniors around the country and break down the best of the matchups ahead this weekend.

Two or three weeks remain in the regular season, a fitting time for co-hosts Nate Ewell (@nateewell, @collegehockey) and Brad Schlossman (@SchlossmanGF) to break down each conference race and what's at stake the rest of the way. They also talk Beanpot, a little Olympics and look closely at the weekend ahead.
