In today’s episode, Kyle is joined by Dayton Reimer (Ottawa Senators) and Nicholas Arnold (Columbus Blue Jackets) to discuss both the Senators' and Blue Jackets' struggles so far and whether D.J. Smith is on the hot seat this season. They also talk about Elvis Merzlikins still being the answer in goal for the Blue Jackets. Finally, they make their predictions for the games on Oct. 18, 2022, before getting into their articles of the day.
