The Buffalo Sabres got their season off with a win against Ottawa and a feisty loss to Florida. Lance and Joe discuss their takeaways from those games, how one deals with professional hockey troll Matthew Tkachuk, some interesting late-game line shuffles, and how not to worry about goaltending for once! Ahh, sweet, sweet, relief.

Thanks as always for listening. We would hip check someone questionably late for your approval.
