    Episode 5: Finding The Sweet Spot

    Episode 5 of Packin’ Heat is a bit all over the place in the best way possible. Melissa and Chris break down the latest NHL playoff action, react to the NFL schedule release, and get into the bigger question of whether any league can realistically compete with the NFL at this point. Somewhere in the middle of all that, Melissa also tries a lineup of Canadian chocolates, mostly for the first time. Hockey, football, random tangents, and a completely unnecessary amount of chocolate analysis.

From playoff overreactions and bad beats to random tangents and friendly trash talk, it’s another hour of hockey talk with the usual Packin’ Heat energy.
