Hailey, Max and Sean break down the current state of all 32 NHL franchises on ice performance and provide a guide to what teams you should be watching. The crew breaks it down into eight tiers: Definite channel flippers; these won't be a priority to invest an evening of watching hockey; these teams are better than we thought; the enjoyable tier; watching and rooting for brighter times ahead for next year; the Bedard tier; really talented shit shows; very good teams we will watch; and must see TV.

NHL opening night is upon us, player rankings with Dom Luszczyszyn, Multiple Choice Madness, and more: On the debut episode of The Athletic Hockey Show, Ian Mendes and Hailey Salvian kicks things off discussing opening night’s five game slate, how concerned fans should be about COVID-19’s potential impact on the season, Matthew Barzal’s three-year deal with the Islanders, Corey Crawford’s abrupt retirement from the NHL, which teams are the safest bets to win their respective divisions, corporate sponsors for each division, and more. Then, The Athletic’s Dom Luszczyszyn joins the show to break down his 2021 player rankings, including how this incredibly unusual offseason impacted his projections, the insights he got from NHL GMs, executives, coaches, and analysts, the song search game hidden within his team previews, fantasy hockey team names, and more. And, to close things out, Ian and Hailey work through a round of five Multiple Choice Madness questions. by The Athletic Hockey Show
