The NHL Stadium Series has finally arrived!

The NHL Stadium Series has finally arrived, and there's a lot going on around the game than the actual game itself. The owner of Ripken The Bat Dog joined during the Daily Checkdown, as did NC State Club Hockey coach Tim Healy ahead of their matchup on Monday at Carter-Finley Stadium against UNC club hockey.

Also, conversations about Eric Bieniemy taking the job as the Washington Commanders offensive coordinator, and a check in from the Carolina Hurricanes fanfest in downtown Raleigh, NC.

The Drive with Tim Donnelly airs weekdays 3-6pm on 99.9 The Fan in Raleigh, North Carolina. Clips are published every evening after the show.
