Summary

Jeff and Matt kick off the show recapping last night's vintage slap shot goal from Filip Forsberg. Then, Elliotte Friedman joins the show to break down the biggest storylines coming from yesterday's busy slate of NHL games. They discuss the Oilers' 4-1 loss to the Flyers, the state of Philadelphia's rebuild, Joel Farabee’s strong start to the season, and Sean Couturier’s play since he returned. Later, the pair weigh in on the Flames' start to the season, how the team has improved since last year, and the Golden Knights' 5-0 start in search of a Stanley Cup repeat. They close the show with a preview Saturday’s Leafs vs. Lightning matchup, focusing in on Tampa Bay's pursuit of a netminder, before chatting about how Devon Levi has fared to start the season in Buffalo. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
