The last 48 in sports, and the world, has felt like a science fiction movie.

With coronavirus now considered a global pandemic, most of the sporting leagues around the world have shut down.

News of the NBA suspending their season was just breaking as we wrapped our interview with one of the smartest dudes in hockey, Sean Tierney.

Our reaction to the news was real, raw, and a little shell-shocked. We tried to balance that line between the seriousness of the transpiring events and the silly nature we bring to the show. We hope you tow that line with us because hey, what better time than now to slap in the headphones and listen to a podcast?

At the very least, you should tune into this interview just to listen to Sean’s thoughts on the game. He truly is one of the brightest minds in the game, and he shed some light on his journey to becoming an analytics expert in the hockey world.

We also got to the hockey talk as well, as we quizzed Sean about the Western Conference Wild Card race, the Calder Race, and the unpredictability of certain analytics.

Enjoy this awesome interview and in the meantime, chill out, stay safe, and stay positive.
