Ian and Julian stick tap John Tavares for recording his 1000th career NHL point in the hostile environment of his former stomping grounds on Long Island, the guys breakdown the upside down world of the Metro Division with the Islanders, Flyers and Capitals stealing the thunder of the Hurricanes, Devils and Penguins and welcome Michael Russo to discuss the rash of violent hits and retaliations in the NHL this week, the Red Wings who are winless in Patrick Kane's first three games and Brock Boeser's resurgence in Vancouver, with the star forward taking time out of his schedule to talk with Russo.
Plus, Ian and Julian take a look at Mikko Rantanene's pointed post game comments directed towards teammate Artturi Lehkonen's dad, and look ahead to McDavid vs Bedard, Tuesday night in the NHL.
