Summary

If there’s anything last season proved, it’s how unpredictable the NHL can be. The Boston Bruins had a historic regular season, setting league records for wins and points, only to get eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. But tonight, a new year of hockey begins, and with it, a new face that you need to know about. Connor Bedard is set to take the ice for the Chicago Blackhawks, with his debut being the most anticipated since the likes of Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby. So today, ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski joins the show to tell us all about Bedard’s maiden voyage, McDavid’s hunt for his first Stanley Cup, Crosby’s hunt for his last, and everything else you need to know about the NHL in 2023.
