Hockey season is finally here. The offseason is over and after a few games in Europe to begin the season, the other 30 teams in the league are ready to start their regular season campaigns. To kick things off, Frank Seravalli flew to Utah where the first game in franchise history will take place tonight. 

They talked about the change that the players are going through this season after moving from Arizona and also, how committed Utah’s ownership and management is to making sure this is a long-term success.

From there, they went out East where they talked about the Tampa Bay Lightning. Of course, Tampa Bay and Utah linked up for a big trade this summer as Utah acquired Mikael Sergachev from the Bolts. Frank thinks one of these two teams will make the playoffs and Gregor doesn’t think that bold prediction is that much of a reach.

We also got some big news over the weekend as the Boston Bruins and Jeremy Swayman agreed to terms on a long-term deal just in time for the teams first game. It got ugly, but they found common ground. Did either side come out of this a winner? Or is it a fair deal?

They then got into the first two games of the NHL’s regular season, which saw the Buffalo Sabres fall to 0-2. There is a lot of pressure on the Sabres to contend this season but Frank thinks that they can still be a playoff team and says their blueline could actually be what powers them.

Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell presented by Bet365. He asked the guys about the Stanley Cup odds, what to expect from Alex Ovechkin this season and this years rookie class.
