HNLI Kicks off '09 With a Bang

Hockey Night on Long Island's first episode of the New Year was an hour of pure fun and pure hockey talk. Hosts Alex and Steve were joined by "Blogger of the Year" Patrick Hickey Jr. of thedriveforfive.com for an hour of hockey talk that had plenty of banter and its share of laughs. Also joining the gang was Jon of sharkspage.com to preview tonight's matchup against the San Jose Sharks. The banter between the pair of guests got a tad heated and extremely funny and is certainly worth a listen. Hosts Alex and Steve also strayed into bonus coverage a bit with some last minute ramblings on the Isles, the World Junior Championships, and even the NFL playoffs. So, whether you caught it the first time or missed it, be sure to check out the archives on the show page or subscribe on iTunes by searching "Hockey Night on Long Island" in the iTunes store.
