Episode 0244: Opening Night; Sweeney Mess Ups; Matt Grzelcyk; McAvoy Extends; Brady Tkachuk Signs; Ovi Keeps Scoring; Allan Walsh on the Cap; Mike Robinson Ejected and More!

The new season has started and we are five days into the new marathon!  We talk about opening night and the first days of the new season.  Don Sweeney has made a hash of this and previous off seasons, highlighted by the Krejci fiasco.  Other players he missed out on are discussed here, but they include O.E.L., Vince Dunn and Christian Dvorak.  Is Matt Grzelcyk the best defenseman on the Bruins?  If he is, then why aren't they playing him as such.  McAvoy will avoid negotiating in the offseason as he has agreed to a new extension for the next 8 years.  Brady Tkachuk has agreed to a new deal with the Senators.  Ovi has tied Marcel Dionne for 5th all time for goals scored in the NHL.  Serious contender to top Gretzky?  TJ Oshie celebrates the first goal of Hendrix Lapierre's career by hoisting him up off the ice with one arm!  Why we love this game!  Allan Walsh has taken to Twitter to explain the horribleness that is the hard cap in hockey.  Mike Robinson of UNH (a goaltender) was tossed from a game for spearing a player on the ASU Sun Devils.  Alex Bishop gets to sit on the bench as backup net minder after Mrazek left with injury.  Bishop was the emergency back up for this game.  Enjoy the new season just underway, but don't forget to enjoy our podcast as well.  Until next week...
