Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee open the second hour by bringing on Sportsnet's Eric Francis following the Flames' 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Oilers in the Heritage Classic (3:34). Is the season on the brink in Calgary just a few weeks in? Plus, they debate the response from the Flames after Evander Kane's great night for the Oilers - do more teams need 'heavy' players to have the ability to send a different message? Plus, they chat about the Canucks playing hard for Rick Tocchet, whether or not the Sharks should continue stripping it down (or go in the opposite direction), Cale Makar taking a massive hit, the retirement of Jumbo Joe Thornton, and the safety of the game in the wake of Adam Johnson's tragic passing.
