Description
Ian and Julian stick tap John Tavares for recording his 1000th career NHL point in the hostile environment of his former stomping grounds on Long Island, the guys breakdown the upside down world of the Metro Division with the Islanders, Flyers and Capitals stealing the thunder of the Hurricanes, Devils and Penguins and welcome Michael Russo to discuss the rash of violent hits and retaliations in the NHL this week, the Red Wings who are winless in Patrick Kane's first three games and Brock Boeser's resurgence in Vancouver, with the star forward taking time out of his schedule to talk with Russo.
Plus, Ian and Julian take a look at Mikko Rantanene's pointed post game comments directed towards teammate Artturi Lehkonen's dad, and look ahead to McDavid vs Bedard, Tuesday night in the NHL.

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
