Gregor and Rupp start off the show with a look ahead to a weekend packed with sports.

The Colorado Avalanche may not be running away with the Central quite so easily. The Dallas Stars have been on a tear lately and just demolished the Atlantic-leading Canadiens 7–0. The guys talk about Jason Robertson heating up, Wyatt Johnston’s power-play prowess, and the anticipation surrounding a Jamie Benn return.

Next, we head to the West Coast to discuss the resurgence of the LA Kings. A team many predicted to contend atop the Pacific struggled out of the gates but has now found its footing, surging up the standings to sit second in the division. The guys

dive into their defensive acumen and a promising offensive spark.

Later, we look at the struggling Maple Leafs, who dropped another game last night—this one in overtime to the Kings—dropping Toronto to a .500 points percentage. People can point to the injury bug, but this team has been extremely poor defensively this season, with a league-worst goals-against per game. Gregor and Rupp break down a quote from William Nylander about the Leafs’ early-season struggles.

After a torrid start to the season, it looks like the Montréal Canadiens are coming back down to earth. The goaltending tandem of Sam Montembeault and Jakob Dobês has faltered recently, with both goalies struggling to keep the puck out of the net.

Nashville is the team everyone is watching when it comes to a potential big early-season move. Will it be a coaching change, a veteran being shipped out, or something shocking—like moving on from Juuse Saros? Will the Predators regret going the veteran route instead of committing to a rebuild like Chicago, Anaheim, and San Jose?

Home ice used to be a fortress for the Vegas Golden Knights, but over their latest home stretch they’ve collected only four points out of a possible 12. Can they turn it around as they play five of their next six on the road?

Later, Pat joins the show for “Fill in the Blanks” with questions such as:

Who can challenge Joel Quenneville for the Jack Adams Award?

Will anyone challenge Connor Hellebuyck’s Vezina reign?

Which franchise deserves Gavin McKenna?

After that, the guys discuss Gavin McKenna’s start at Penn State before wrapping up the show with a little Grey Cup talk ahead of the big game in the CFL this weekend.
