Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun joins Paul Chapman.
Steve talks about how he’s been pleasantly surprised at the offensive hockey being played so far around the league and how it’s a good sign of how the season is going to progress.
He also runs through some of the better stories in the league, in particular Montreal, where so far they look like they’ll exceed expectations.
Steve also tells us why you can never believe an NHL goalie.
Talk then turns to the teams that might be in trouble, and which General Managers should be lauded for making bold moves and how teams like San Jose are being rewarded for taking risks.
Lastly, the lads then talk about the youth movement in the NHL, and how players like Canucks rookie Elias Pettersson are joining the crop of youngsters like Auston Matthews, Patrick Laine, Mark Scheifele and Jack Eichel to see a changing of the guard in the NHL. Steve counts Johnny Gaudreau and Conor McDavid as players leading the charge in the new NHL, but also laments how the Edmonton Oilers just can’t seem to make any progress despite having the best player in the game today.
