The Hockey pucks are back - KEVIN DUPONT from the Boston Globe & ERIC DUHATSCHEK of The Athletic join the podcast to talk hockey. The four address as many situations in the NHL as possible starting with what teams poor start has surprised them more - The Montreal Canadiens or the Chicago Blackhawks? We dissect the two teams and try to figure out what is going wrong for them both before we transition on to another surprising team - The Buffalo Sabres. Is their hot start just a fluke?
